Salma Hayek is defending her full-fontal nude scene in the upcoming film, Ask the Dust. Hayek plays Camilla, a fiery Mexican beauty who hopes to rise above her station by marrying a wealthy American. In the film, which co-stars Colin Farrell, Hayek appears completely naked in a beach scene alongside Farrell. She told the New York Daily News:

"I don't want to do nudity just for the sake of doing nudity. But this is an iconic part of the story (from) the book. It's important because it represents [Camilla's] spirit, which is very free, and yet she lives in world where she's very repressed by the circumstances. So [the nudity is] almost symbolic for who she is."

I am all for Salma's nudity, whatever the excuse.
