McAdams: 'We're obsessed with nudity'

Rachel McAdams has accused our culture of being obsessed with nudity.

The actress told Parade that it should not be seen as unusual for an actor to strip off on screen, but the attention it brings can make stars anxious.

McAdams said: "When you're playing a fictional character, it's as normal and mundane as eating breakfast. What bothers me is our culture's obsession with nudity. It shouldn't be a big deal, but it is.

"I think this overemphasis with nudity makes actors nervous. There's the worry about seeing one's body dissected, misrepresented, played and replayed on the internet."

She added that her co-star Eric Bana did not develop his abs in the gym before his own nude scenes in The Time Traveller's Wife because "they're for people with no friends", while she agreed that "abs are for wimps".
