Portman: 'i'd Consider Stripping'

Screen beauty Natalie Portman will consider stripping nude on film if she's offered the right part.

The Star Wars actress once vowed never to bare her flesh on screen - but she confesses she's changed her mind and is prepared to consider stripping.

Portman, 23, says, "I wouldn't say 'no, never'.

"I just think that setting limits on yourself is silly because there might be a day when you change your mind."

She also defends her change of heart, "Consistency is way over-rated. It's much better to flow with the times and the context and see how things change and how you feel.

"I wouldn't say I would never do it but I do think it's rare when it's necessary.

"I guess it would be hard to do Last Tango In Paris without nudity. That's a film that you couldn't have made without it, but it's not a film that I would have wanted to be in."
