Nicole Kidman is happy to appear naked on screen if the role demands it.

The Australian is quoted in The Sun as saying: "Honestly, is nudity onscreen that big a deal? I think you say you're going to do something for a film because you believe in it artistically and you don't censor yourself emotionally."

Kidman, who stripped off in movies such as Dead Calm and Eyes Wide Shut, will reportedly bare her flesh again in new film Fur: An Imaginary Portrait Of Diane Arbus.

Further explaining her stance on screen nudity, Kidman added: "If the love scenes and the nudity is a necessity for the piece and it's not exploitative then it doesn't weigh that heavily on me."
