Borgias star: Nudity is a rite of passage

HOLLYWOOD star Hayley Atwell recently declared that she refused to perform nude scenes even when the director insisted. But her fellow British actress Holliday Grainger (pictured left) is more obliging.

‘Getting your breasts out is like a rite of passage,’ Great Expectations star Holliday tells me. The 27-year-old, who had to disrobe in TV historical drama The Borgias, says: ‘I don’t mind because when you’re doing it, it’s actually not sexual in any way.

‘I distance myself by imagining I’m a toddler stripping off — not sexual in any way whatsoever.’
