‘If you’ve got flesh then it should be shown’: Alice Eve admits she has ‘no aversion’ to stripping off for roles as it is ‘part of the job’
She is known to many as Charlotte’s braless nanny in the second Sex And The City move.
And Alice Eve has discussed why she has no problem stripping off for roles as it is ‘part of the job’ of an actor.
The actress, 38, spoke candidly with The Sun about why she has ‘no aversion’ to showing ‘flesh’ and why she hopes her latest project – Belgravia – was a good form of escapism for audiences at the moment.

The ITV drama, which was set in Victorian London, concluded last weekend with five million viewers tuning in for the finale.
Alice played Susan in the period drama who shocked audiences after she had an affair with a married man and got pregnant.
Despite wearing very a tight corset and big dresses for Belgravia, she told the publication: ‘I don’t have any aversion to flesh or showing it. I think if you’ve got flesh then it should be shown.
‘Besides, you limit yourself if you are against all that because it’s part of the job really. But it can be a bit weird sometimes.’

The screen star said she was typically cast as roles that objectify women whilst being shown through the lens of a man which is not how she feels about herself.
However she shared: ‘As an actor, you can’t be attached to your physicality.’
The star said she hopes fans enjoyed the escapism offered by the drama as it is what we need in the world right now.

The talented actress relocated stateside in 2010, when she landed the role of Irish nanny Erin in Sex and The City 2.
She has since been seen in a host of high profile movies including Men In Black 3 and Star Trek: Into Darkness.
In 2014, Alice married financier Alex Cowper-Smith, her secondary school sweetheart whom she met while attending Westminster School in London – however they later parted ways after just three years of marriage.

The couple met at school but only reunited as a couple in 2014, before finally tying the knot in a small ceremony on New Year’s Eve in 2014.
They finalised the divorce last year, after which the blonde beauty admitted she felt as though she had a ‘rebirth’.
Alice was previously in a long-term relationship with poet Adam O’Riordan, who she met while reading English at Oxford University.
