Stars who love to strip!

George Clooney
At 43, it seems hard to believe the Hollywood hunk has only ever stripped off once, for science fiction movie Solaris in 2002. Especially since George is quite open to the idea. 'It's not a problem if it's for the right reasons,' he says. Of his naked writhings with Natascha McElhone in Solaris, where his bare rear is fully visible, he said: 'If my ass helps the film, I don't have a problem with it.'

Ewan McGregor
The 33-year-old Star Wars hunk has been known to get his light sabre out on many occasions. He was shown passed out on a bed, stark naked in Brit flick Trainspotting and followed up with another nude scene in recent box office flop Down With Love. 'I do seem to have been naked in quite a few films,' he says. 'I don't know why, it just seems to be the kind of role I get. It doesn't bother me, in fact it can be fun at times. Lying around naked with a beautiful woman is not a big problem for me, even if it is only for a film.'

Tom Hanks
Despite having received scores of offers, Philadelphia star Hanks, 48, refuses to get his kit off in a movie - because it's not a pretty sight. 'I don't want to see anybody doing that on screen,' he says. 'By and large in movies there's no place for it. I'm the last guy you're going to want to cast in some big passionate clinch kind of thing. When James Garner was asked the same question, I heard him say, 'Oh no, I don't do horror movies', which is kind of like me.'

Brad Pitt
Unlike his ex-wife, Pitt, 41, has no qualms about doing nude scenes - and he even begged director Wolfgang Petersen to include one in the historical blockbuster Troy. Petersen revealed: 'Brad basically said, 'Let me have a nude scene', and this is not a man known for taking his clothes off. He said to me, 'I worked eight months to get this body. It's part of the story.'' And Pitt even claimed Jennifer Aniston was happy for him to bare all. He said: 'I like being nude. Apparently, you know, the Greeks were naked all the time. And my wife's all for it.'

Will Smith
Serial world-saver Smith had no problem with shooting a full-frontal shower scene for I, Robot - but the censors did. Producers were forced to order expensive digital reworking of the scene for the movie to be released in America. Smith, 36, explains: 'It's interesting, because America is the only place it was a really big deal. Actually, the scene in this movie was full frontal nudity, but they had to digitally remove it.

Colin Farrell
Shots of the Irish hunk's privates were cut from A Home At The End Of The World because producers feared the size (he's blessed with generous proportions) would be too distracting for viewers. But 28-year-old Farrell was surprisingly modest when he was grilled in interviews. 'Let me tell you, it ain't nothing to write home about,' he said. 'It's nothing, man! I walk to a door and you see my penis and I walk out of the shot. It's dark and it's three seconds long.'
