Helen Mirren bags US naturist award

Helen Mirren has been given an award by the USA Naturist Society for "promoting healthy nudity".

The Oscar winner, who stripped off in the film Calendar Girls, was praised for speaking out about her passion for sunbathing naked.

A spokesperson for the society said: "Nude is not lewd, it is beautiful. Helen is actually a naturist and goes nude sunbathing."

Also in the top ten were The Closer actress Kyra Sedgwick, Lost star Matthew Fox and Angelina Jolie's partner Brad Pitt.

Matthew McConaughey earned sixth spot for an incident where he was allegedly caught by police playing the bongos in his home while naked.
