LOS ANGELES, Calif. (November 5, 2007) - Angelina Jolie is not someone who is easily intimidated, that is until she saw herself naked, albeit animated, in her new film "Beowulf."
"I got a little shy," Jolie told reporters, when asked about her revealing role in the computer animated film.

In "Beowulf," Jolie plays an evil, but sexy, killer lizard creature covered from head to toe in nothing more than gold paint.
"I was really surprised that I felt that exposed," she said at a press conference for the film. "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."

The film, which uses animation over existing film footage, was a new experience for the film veteran.
"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," Jolie added.
Though shy at first, she loves the end result of mixing film footage and animation.
"I love my tail," said she when asked what part of her character's animated body she liked most.
She also loved that she was able to film the revealing scenes while she was pregnant.
"I was three months pregnant. You wouldn't know. We did the mapping of my body before. It was a pleasure," concluded Jolie.
Though Jolie is blushing with the bareness of "Beowulf," the actress has gone nude in "Foxfire," "Gia," "Pushing Tin" and "Original Sin."
"Beowulf" opens on November 16.
