Closer director Mike Nichols has apparently burned scenes in which Natalie Portman appeared topless.
The actress appears in the Oscar-nominated movie as a raunchy pole dancer, however Mike Nichols ordered scenes in which she might have appeared topless be destroyed so that they do not fall into the wrong hands.
Portman told Vanity Fair: "I will not allow myself to be on a porn site… I don't want to be used by someone else for turning me into something that I'm not.
"But I was doing everything because I knew that Mike was going to get my permission about everything and show me everything and talk to me.
"He was like: 'That stuff's going to be burned if we don't use it.'"
