Angelina Jolie reveals shyness over nudity on computer animated movie

Actress Angelina Jolie has exclusively revealed how she is 'shy' about exposing her body on a new computer animated movie released this week. 'Beowulf' sees the wife of Brad Pitt in saucy nude positions and she was apparently put off when she watched it.

"I was really surprised that I felt that exposed," Jolie, 32, said at a press conference for the film in Los Angeles.

"There are certain moments where I felt actually shy – and called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than [what] we expected," she says.

Jolie – who in her role as a temptress killer lizard is painted gold but animated without clothes – explains, "I didn't expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn't expect it to feel as real, and so because of especially the type of character I play, it was kind of funny at first."

Asked which body part she likes the most, Jolie answered with a laugh, "I love my tail."
