Natalie Portman did not strip completely naked for new movie 'Goya's Ghosts'.

The Hollywood beauty was believed to have stripped off for the graphic torture scenes in the movie - in which she plays the muse of painter Francisco Goya who is accused of heresy during the Spanish Inquisition - but she has now revealed she used a body double for some scenes.

Natalie said: "There's a long shot of a nude woman, but it's not me. You do see some parts of me unclothed, but if they end up on websites making it look like I'm nude, I'm going to be really, really angry."

The 26-year-old actress - who played a pole dancer in 'Closer' - has also denied she accepted the controversial role to rid herself of her squeaky-clean image.

She added: "I didn't do the scene in order to prove something. I just want to get on with my life and do what feels right."

Natalie has previously revealed she would become a lesbian, if she met the right women.

She said: "I've never a dated a woman or anything like it. But I think it's much more about the person you fall in love with.

"Why would you close yourself off from 50 per cent of people?"
