MacDowell: 'I get embarrassed stripping'

WENN

Andie MacDowell has revealed that she hates taking her clothes off to film sex scenes.

The star, who has to strip off to play a sex addict in new Lifetime films The Front and At Risk, said that her shyness makes being nude in front of the camera embarrassing.

MacDowell told Fox News: "I play a real bi**h, I was a narcissistic sex addict and had to sleep with young men. But it was embarrassing because I’m pretty shy and yet I had to look at myself in the mirror and take my clothes off."

The 51-year-old also talked about the difficulty of finding work in a 'youthful' industry, saying: "We live in a society that sees getting older in a certain way, but I keep trying to tell myself of my value and my worth. I’m 51 and I have no shame about that whatsoever and I’m really comfortable in my skin."

MacDowell added: "I want to work because it brings me a sense of self-worth and dignity, I like my job. I may not be the lead or I may not get the starring roles that I used to because so many movies revolve around youth, but I refuse to go away because I enjoy it."
