Angelina Jolie Shy About Nudity But Loves Her 'Beowulf' Lizard Tail

By Access HollywoodNovember 5, 2007, 10:22 am PST

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.

    Everyone that says she's a fake should adopt three kids and give birth to one before they go off about her... she didn't have the kids when she did all that! Of course she feels shy now... She is a mom no matter how HOT! she's a mom now, and a good one!!! Give her a break!! Talk about britney instead....

    Any person can be comfortable nude around the house, but that same person might not be comfortable on a nudist beach. Typically a nude/love scene in a movie is done with minimal crew on hand, and the actor is focused on their lines and the scene. Being totally nude posturing, say in a large sparse green walled room surrounded by people gawking and measuring your body might be a little tougher.

    Angelina is a beautiful and caring women. I amire the way she stands strong for how she feels and lives her live. Living it like it is hers, not yours or mine. I feel her and Brad make a differents.
