Tomei "uncomfortable" with nudity

Marisa Tomei has confessed that she finds shedding her clothes for movie roles difficult.

The 44-year-old, who plays a stripper in upcoming drama The Wrestler, told Parade: "I'm uncomfortable with exposing myself. But in these films I think what I did was appropriate and I'm proud of it. Actually, I'm concerned with a lot more than how my body looks."

She continued: "I just find it really hard to watch myself in general. But being nude was weird. And now I'm seeming like the actress who does that, which wasn't my intention."

Tomei credited her figure to exercising with a hula hoop, saying: "It's really good for your core strength. I have a travel hoop. You can twist it in half but it's adult size, not like a little kids hula hoop."
