Scarlett Johansson recently opened about her role in the 2014 film “Under the Skin.” The actress said in her recent interview to W magazine that for her role of an alien seductress she went completely naked.

“She was a totally different species, so her nudity was kind of practical. I also had black hair. That was my idea—I didn’t think I should be a blonde sort of bombshell,” she said to the magazine. The actress also admitted that she did not want to glamourise her nudity and that was probably one of the reasons she did away with the blonde hair, reports Cinema Blend.
