Actress Natalie Portman has no qualms about stripping off onscreen if a movie requires it, despite previously insisting she would never go nude.

The Star Wars beauty appeared naked in director Wes Anderson's short film Hotel Chevalier, which acted as a prologue to 2007's The Darjeeling Limited.

The 13-minute movie attracted criticism because it featured Portman in her first nude scene - but she now insists she would be happy to do it again.

She says, "I had no problem doing that scene or how it was done."
