Billie Piper would enjoy acting in nude scenes if she could “remove the sex”.
The 34-year-old actress is no stranger to filming scenes stark naked in projects such as Secret Diary of a Call Girl, but says she finds the sex scenes that go with them to be “annoying”.
Speaking about the number of nude scenes she has handed to her, the star said: “What’s annoying is that they are fun roles, if you can remove the sex. It’s the sex that makes it annoying. Otherwise, they are interesting stories, interesting women with chequered pasts.”
Although Billie has worked on a number of nude scenes in her career, she also starred as the companion to The Doctor in the BBC sci-fi drama Doctor Who for two series, a role which she says “changed everything” for her.
She said of the show: “I’m quite a homebody and I missed London so much. Also, it makes you so famous, a show like that. It gave me little memories of being a pop star — you can’t go anywhere without it being a thing, and I found that quite hard again. But it changed everything for me. And I have never worked with a nicer bunch of people in my life since.”
Meanwhile, the Penny Dreadful actress was recently honoured at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards with the Natasha Richardson Award for Best Actress, which the beauty dubbed as “over-whelming”.
