Can Your Bare It?

Skin is in for some of Hollywood's top stars, but plenty of others say enough to being in the buff. "Extra" uncovers the naked truth about stripping down.

Chloe Sevigny's going graphic with an X-rated sex scene in her upcoming film "The Brown Bunny," and Kim Basinger will bare it all in "The Door in the Floor." And currently at the movies, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams can't seem to keep their clothes on in "The Notebook," so much that Ryan claims, "I've never been this naked in my life."

But while some actors say, "Yes" to nude scenes, others say, "No way."

"Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Cheryl Hines says no to nude, joking to us that, "I wouldn't go topless just because I've got good ones."

19-year-old Scarlett Johansson also draws the line at losing her clothes. And while Carrie's three best friends were known to go topless on "Sex and the City," Sarah Jessica Parker had a no nudity clause in her contract.

But while McAdams confirms that her role in "The Notebook" features, "Some exposure. Some flesh," she insists the love scenes needed the nudity. "It had to be romantic and sensual and sexual."

And if you looked like 50-year-old Kim Basinger, how hard could those sensual nude scenes be? "They're never easy," Basinger said of exposing her skin, and admitted, "We all have our good days and bad days. Some days I look in the mirror and go, 'You know, you look okay today,' and most other days, it's, 'God, you look horrible.'"

But some guys, such as "ER's" Mekhi Phifer, don't seem to have days like that. "I have no problem doing it for film," he insisted. "I have a movie coming out with Ray Liotta called 'Slow Burn' where I am nude."

Going naked is also no big deal for 54-year-old Jeff Bridges, as we will see in "The Door in the Floor."

But "The Notebook's" Gosling admitted that he was nervous about being up on the big screen in his birthday suit: "You're getting naked and making love and then your mother can go see. That's terrible."
