Alicia Silverstone has revealed that she loves to trim her hedges and mow her lawn in the nude.

The vegetarian Clueless actress, who posed naked in a recent PETA video, said that she likes nothing more than spending time alone in her garden.

She told Health magazine: "It probably started when I was doing my garden the first time. I’d be out there, and it would be scorching hot, so I would take off all of my clothes and garden. And then I would jump in the pool and swim - and I always get in the pool naked, because why would you want to put on a bathing suit?"

She added: "I’m not a nudist at all. I’m shy. I’ve never done nudity in a film, ever. I don’t want anybody to take a picture of me naked. But in my own home, in my garden... okay."
