I love being naked- Queen Latifah
The
45-year-old actress shot her first ever nude scene for film Bessie, a
biopic about late blues singer Bessie Smith. While many would be daunted
at the thought of stripping down in front of people, Latifah didn't
have a care in the world.

"My friends call me naked girl. You know
what? I don't need clothes. I'm just one of those people who, you know,
when you come home you just take everything off. Like, go to the
bathroom naked, you know you go to the bathroom and just take everything
off," she grinned to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. "I was one of those
kids that... it's when I knew I was a girl and I was kind of upset about
it because I loved having my shirt off as a kid, you know? I would have
no clothes on and one of my father's hats, it was my look. I was a hat
girl, I'm not a clothes person I guess."
With so much confidence
and a powerful presence on screen, it's no surprise the star felt
comfortable bearing all. And considering she produced the movie as well
the scene didn't come as a shock to Latifah, but she did trick people
into thinking she wasn't happy about it.
"Definitely knew about it going into the film, it was always
part of it. I mean I would crack jokes with the director sometimes and
say... 'Cause she had this image on the wall of what she wanted the
scene to look like - Dee Rees - and so I'd come into the office to
rehearse or discuss something and I'd say, 'You sure you still want to
do this? Do you really need to do that scene?' But I was just messing
with her. I always knew it would be part it," the actress added.
