Keira Knightley had no problem posing topless -- but under the condition that the photo wasn't digitally manipulated. Here are some other stars who have been seen in the altogether:
Is it any shock that Rihanna showed up in a see-through dress to receive a Fashion Icon award at the 2014 CFDA fashion awards on June 2? After all, she has a perfume called Nude. (You can search around for the more explicit pics, as we are a family friendly site.)
Believe it or not, Matthew McConaughey is passing up an opportunity to shed some of his clothes. The actor won't reprise his role of male stripper Dallas in the "Magic Mike" sequel, "Magic Mike XXL," because he's busy filming a Gus Van Sant drama instead. This doesn't mean McConaughey's changed his ways -- he told GQ magazine in December 2013 that yes, he does still like to play the bongo drums naked.
Justin Bieber is a documented fan of public shirtlessness and singing songs to his grandmother in the nude. We can now also call the "Baby" singer a fan of the public striptease. At the 2014 charity event "Fashion Rocks," Bieber removed everything but his underwear while on stage with co-presenter Lara Stone, explaining that he just didn't feel comfortable unless he was in his "Calvins."
Channing Tatum shows off some of his better assets in the movie "Magic Mike," and he's set to do that again in a sequel. But as he told Elle magazine, he enjoys being in the buff off-camera, too. "I have a really nice back porch where the pool is," he said. "Once the shoes are off, the socks come off too, and then everything else downstairs just follows at some point."
What better way to get in touch with nature than to leave behind your clothes? That's what "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgard did on a trip to the South Pole, as captured by adventure guide Inge Solheim. The snapshot isn't too surprising -- even considering the frigid temperature -- since this is one actor who has zero problems with nudity. On the job, "if we're naked in the scene, then I'm naked," Skarsgard once explained to Rolling Stone.
It's just too easy to make the joke about Shia LaBeouf's loving to be in "la buff." He recently tweeted a nude photo of himself from the upcoming film "Charlie Countryman" and has not been shy about appearing naked in movies and a music video.
Lady Gaga will pretty much get nude anywhere, it seems: magazine spreads, music videos, whatever. Of course, she'll also wear meat.
Jennifer Aniston explored the world of free love and nudity with Paul Rudd in the film "Wanderlust." She has been quoted as saying being nude in movies is "liberating," but denied to friend Chelsea Handler on her late night talk show that she and her fiance, Justin Theroux, are nudists.
Lindsay Lohan was featured on the cover of the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Playboy magazine and her nude scenes from the 2013 film 'The Canyons" have shown up online.
Kate Winslet has famously had her nude portrait drawn in the film "Titanic" and stripped for other roles, though she admits it can get a bit weird stripping down on set. "I just go in and say 'Oh f**k' let's do it.' and Boom," she said in an interview. If you complain about it or procrastinate it's not going to go away. Its a profoundly bizarre thing to do. As actors you talk about it all the time."
Some of you might be more familiar with Kim Kardashian's curves than your own physique. The reality star became famous with a sex tape and stayed famous with her reality show and photos such as this one, which she did for W magazine in 2010. While Kardashian later said she didn't think she'd ever pose nude again, she still frequently posts the next best thing on her Instagram account.
Daniel Radcliffe spent so much time naked on the sets of films and productions, he had to ask the producers of his Brit drama, "A Young Doctor's Notebook," to let him keep some clothes on. "I think there was a discussion about possible nudity for one scene," Radcliffe recalled to The Independent, "and I think my comment was, 'I got naked in three films last year, please can I not?' "
Even those who've never watched a single episode of Lena Dunham's "Girls" know that the show includes plenty of nudity -- and most often, it's Dunham herself showing skin. While Dunham's said that her frequent nakedness isn't a political statement and is more about creative expression, she does acknowledge that it can have cultural impact. "We have this insane culture where women who don't look like the cast of 'Gossip Girl' are put into like sweaters and nightgowns to sleep in," she told CBS News in 2013. "What I love are the films of the '70s where a person gets out of bed and you see half their nipple because that's what it looks like when a person gets out of bed."
- Keira Knightley poses for un-Photoshopped pic for Interview magazine
- Knightley: "It really doesn't matter what shape you are"
- Actress has been outspoken in wanting to live life on her terms
(CNN) -- Keira Knightley is fine with taking a topless photo.
Just don't screw it up with Photoshop or other digital manipulation.
While talking about a set of Patrick Demarchelier photographs she did for Interview magazine (including one NSFW), Knightley told the The Times of London (subscription required) that she wanted the images to present her as she is.
"I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters," the actress, 29, said. "That (shoot) was one of the ones where I said: 'OK, I'm fine doing the topless shot so long as you don't make them any bigger or retouch.' Because it does feel important to say it really doesn't matter what shape you are."
Among other images that misrepresented her body, Knightley had her breasts beefed up for the "King Arthur" movie poster -- even though she'd said that her bust had actually diminished while preparing for the role, thanks to strength exercises.
As Jezebel's Dodai Stewart wrote, "Hollywood can't imagine a world in which people would see a movie starring an athletic, flat-chested woman."
Knightley has been determined to live in the spotlight on her terms. The Times article is headlined "My battle to live a normal life" and she told Net-a-Porter that she's well aware that the movie business wants to put her in a box.
"The people who make movies, whether it's directors or producers or money people, look for things that they can identify with, and if they're all predominantly middle-aged white men, then what you see are things that middle-aged white men can identify with," she said. "And you don't get anything for anybody else."
