Charlize stomach for love

Film

09:30 04 February 2005

Charlize Theron enjoyed her love scenes with real-life boyfriend Stuart Townsend - because she didn't have to hold her stomach in.

The Oscar-winning beauty was relaxed about the love scenes opposite her Irish actor lover in forthcoming movie 'Head in the Clouds' because she didn't have to worry about the way she looked naked.

Charlize confessed: "Stuart has obviously seen me naked, so I didn't have to suck in my tummy."

However, the South African beauty says she found elements of filming uncomfortable.

She added: "It's hard to do these scenes with someone you love as there are 20 people watching, and then there's the audience. I still don't know how my mum is going to handle it."

The actress also confessed she acts like a slob when she's at home.

She added in an interview with Britain's Red magazine: "When I'm not working on films I'm usually sunk on my favourite comfy couch with Stuart, with a fag in my hand."
