Actress Angelina Jolie has revealed that she felt shy over her latest accomplishment in a simulated nude scene of her upcoming animated movie ‘Beowulf’.

The 32-year-old, who plays a temptress killer lizard was painted gold, but animated without clothes.

“I got a little shy. I was really surprised that I felt that exposed. 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,” People quoted Jolie, as stating at a press conference for the film in Los Angeles.

“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,” she added.

Boewulf, which opens on Nov 16 is directed by Robert Zemeckis and is based on the Old English poem.

It is Jolie’s third animated movie, after Shark Tale and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Natalie Portman has vowed that she will never strip again for screen after filming a risqué scene for her new short movie “Hotel Chevalier”.

Portman’s nude shots will soon be available on the Internet even before the film is officially released. And she is upset that she agreed to do something that was awkward in the prelude to “The Darjeeling Limited” directed by Wes Anderson, contactmusic.com reports.

Portman has insisted that she was convinced that nude scenes were required for the movie.

Portman, who requested director Mike Nichols to cut the nudity from “Closer” and used a body double for “Goya’s Ghosts’, said that she felt it was right to do bare scenes in the latest film.

She said, “I don’t know why, exactly. Sometimes you make rules for yourself and sometimes those rules are made to be broken. You have to test things out and see what works for you, and this felt right.

“I’m really sorry I didn’t listen to my intuition. From now on, I’m going to trust my gut more. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to say no.”

The Academy-award nominated star also said that she urged director Wes Anderson to give her a chance to work with him.

“I begged Wes to work with me and show me a script. I really loved it. He has the finest taste possible,” she said.
