Hollywood beauty Natalie Portman is to appear completely naked in new movie Goya's Ghosts. Portman will bare all in the biopic on Spanish painter Francisco Goya in which she plays the artist's muse, who is accused of atheism and then stripped as torture. The 24-year-old previously banned a naked scene she filmed for the 2004 movie Closer from being included in the final cut but allowed director Mike Nichols to show her dancing in a thong. At the time the actress denied the raunchy movie was a way of shedding her childlike Princess Amidala persona from Star Wars. She said, "I don't do it in order to prove something. I just go on with my life and do what feels right."

...except she's gone on record saying it's a body double in the film.

Even though Egotastic! published the Natalie Portman Nude in Goya's Ghost piece on May 31, it took everyone else until this week to dig up the story, which not only annoyed me, it also seems to have annoyed Natalie Portman.

In fact, Portman seems to be so annoyed, that tonight on Access Hollywood, Natalie Portman's spokesperson set the record straight, and revealed that, in fact, the nude torture scene is performed by a nude body double, and not Natalie at all.
It is a Body Double, and the double is in profile and shadow. You see nothing.

So there you have it. You can go cry in the corner now. You won't be the only one.
