In an Aug. 2014 interview with Elle magazine, Eva Green was asked if she ever had any trepidation about being naked so much in the movie. She said "Any actor and any actress are very nervous when we have to do that kind of scene. It is not gratuitous [with Ava], the way she uses sexuality to get men and use men is part of her character. But also it's not realistic. It is art. Robert lights it in such a way. He promised me there would be lots of shadows and stuff and things would be added in post. That was very important. But on the day you feel nervous. It's very strange. You're so stressed that it's like, 'I'm not naked. I'm not naked. I'm not naked.' And then you kind of forget that you're naked." She then talked about what she did to prepare for being naked in front of cast and crew. "A lot of actors get drunk. But I was cast a week before shooting so I didn't have time to do much prep at all: So no time to go to the gym. I put myself in the hands of Robert and asked him to remove the cellulite in post-production ... I mean, can you imagine a femme fatale with really bad cellulite? That would be another version of 'Sin City'!" She joked. When asked what she thought about Americans being so prude when it comes to nudity and sex, she replied "It's very subjective. In this movie it's so not pornographic. It's very decent, I think."
