Actress Christina Ricci stayed naked on the set of her new movie Black Snake Moan, so she wouldn't bee self-conscious about posing nude on film.The star admits she was apprehensive about peeling off for her role as a nymphomaniac in the movie - so she decided to walk around naked all the time.She says, "I needed to lose any sort of self-consciousness because I feel sometimes you can see self-consciousness in a performance when somebody is naked or in a nude scene."I really needed for that not to be there, so to help me I stayed the way I would be for the scene all the time - in order to get the crew really used to seeing me that way. Not only was I comfortable, but I could look at anybody's face and see they were comfortable."More on Ricci the actress has said she was already bored of partying by the time she hit the legal US drinking age of 21, because she had been boozing for years.The Monster actress reached her landmark age in 2001 and was already tired of the New York bar scene. She is now tee-total.The 27-year-old explains, "The reason I don't feel the need to go out to clubs and parties any more is we did it so hardcore, especially living in New York as a teenager.

"From the age of 16 to 20-something, we did whatever the hell we wanted.

"By the time I was legal to drink, I had had so many wild nights, it was like, 'Really, now I'm legal?'"
