Moan and Groan: Christina Ricci Says, "I'm a Prude"

Tags: christina ricci, prude, black snake moan

Black Snake Moan star Christina Ricci claims she's totally prude and that the nakedness on the set of her latest film was terrifying. For those who haven't heard, Ricci's character, Rae, is a drug-addled nymphomaniac who gets chained to a radiator in her undies by a God-fearing, sweat-soaked-savior played by Samuel L. Jackson. For the film, Ricci overcame her frigidity by strutting around the set in next-to-nothing, even after director Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow) called "cut." Let's hear it for method acting!

Ricci says, "I'm a prude and I do not like walking around naked and I was in my bathroom about two months after the movie finished and I was brushing my teeth and I was in my underwear and I looked down and was like, 'Oh, God, put something on.' "Then I just stopped and thought, 'Oh my god, I was half naked for two months and my ass was on camera.' "I called my sister and I was like, 'Is it OK to wear nothing around the house? I'm freaking out.'"

Ricci was also quoted as saying that she was going to quit acting altogether if she hadn't landed the Moan role.

According to Wenn news, the 27-year-old actress said: "I told my therapist, if I didn't get the part I was going to quit."

"What I meant was that it so seemed like what I should be doing that, if I didn't get it, I would have no idea of what it was that people wanted me to be doing in this industry and what I was supposed to be doing," she explained.

Well then, Christina, it's settled. It seems people in the industry want you chained half-naked to a radiator...

She's one of those actresses that doesn't show her 'stuff' too often, so seeing her half naked would satisfy a lot of curiosities. On the other hand, I'm not so sure about her decision choosing to play a nymphomaniac if she doesn't like to be naked, but I guess its all about talent and well, acting.

I really want to see this movie. Good to see she did it. Facing a fear and testing herself.

Would have been better if she had done it before the breast reduction.

No on nakedness in TOOS - just some teasing. I just hope the attention from BSM brings her more good parts to play. I've loved her acting since The Addam's Family. And while it's been nice that she became, seemingly, an indy actress, I've always thought she deserved a bit more praise for her work. She's been consistently good for quite a long while now.
