Hollywood star Brad Pitt will be heating up cinema screens in his latest film, Troy, in more ways than one. Not only is the film, set for release this month, tipped to be one of the season's blockbusters but audiences will get to see even more of the sex symbol than usual thanks to some racy nude scenes.
"Apparently the Greeks were naked all the time - eat naked, play naked, they liked to be naked," Brad, who plays legendary warrior Achilles in the epic, told a US TV programme. "I just didn't realise I was the only one doing it in the movie. I thought everyone else was, too!"
Brad, who worked out for six months in preparation for the role, is giving fans a preview of what they can expect to see in Troy by stripping down in the June issue of Vanity Fair.
And what did wife Jennifer Aniston think of his on-screen love scenes? "She liked them," he says. "Jen and I both have an understanding that that's part of the job. She thought I was running around naked in one too many scenes, though."
