I’d never done nudity. I had to overcome a few things in my head to do it.

The actress tells the magazine.

[Then] here comes Alexander Skarsgard. He drops his robe, and he’s not wearing a sock nothing. He’s just totally out there, walking around as if nothing’s going on. I was like, ‘If he can do it, I can do it.’
