'White Lotus' star Alexandra Daddario opens up about on-screen nudity
Alexandra Daddario, 39, who starred in the first season of White Lotus with Jennifer Coolidge, is baring more than just her skin in her Social Life cover story.
In an intimate sit-down with Editor-in-Chief Devorah Rose, the sexy actress opens up about on-screen nudity: 'It doesn't bother me to be nude on screen. I don't do it for the sake of doing it. I do it because it's right for the role.'
Daddario, who's currently playing a sorceress in the supernatural horror thriller Mayfair Witches on AMC (in the United States), didn't hold back when it came to describing what draws her to certain roles.
'The darkness doesn't scare me. The sexuality doesn't scare me. That's all part of being human. I think it's fun to let that loose now and then.'
The bodacious actress, who starred in the movie Baywatch with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zac Efron, confessed, 'I never thought of myself as sexy.
"I spent more time hiding my body than showing it. I didn't do the nude scenes because I felt bold or confident. Those scenes were both hard and vulnerable … but that's also what made it a challenge.'
Don't mistake the goddess energy for ego – she's making movies with both feet on the ground. The cover story is out this weekend. – Richard Johnson/ New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

Producer Iskander Azizuddin shared via Instagram that this is the first time such an offer has been made for a Malaysian film. 'This is made possible through our collaboration with TGV Cinemas, who share our belief that local films should be accessible to all Malaysians,' he said.
