Rachel Weisz has denied using a body double for her nude scenes in new flick Agora.

The 38-year-old is starring in the new film as Greek philosopher and astronomer Hypatia. In two scenes the Constant Gardener star appears naked after emerging from a bath.

Rachel denied using a body double, she said: “Absolutely not. It was all me, never even thought of using a double. Although I was thinking about baby fat – but I think most of it had gone by the time I went before the cameras.”

Rachel and film-maker hubby Darren Aronofsky have a two-year-old son Henry Chance and she admitted she did work out in preparation for the role.

She said: “I did some yoga, that helped, and just avoided junk food.”

Women of the world, rejoice! Actors Robert Pattinson and Hugh Jackman are teaming up for a hunk-tastic new film.

In a dream match-up, the 23-year-old teen-favourite star of Twilight and the 39-year-old “sexiest man alive” have signed up for Unbound Captives.

The period film, also starring Rachel Weisz, revolves around a woman whose husband is killed and her two children kidnapped by a Native-American tribe.

Pattinson will play her son, while Jackman will play a frontiersman who tries to save the day.

The film was written by actress Madeleine Stowe, who is set to direct it, in what will be her debut behind the camera.

“Robert said yes last autumn, before everything broke with Twilight. Hugh said yes a couple of weeks ago,” she told Variety.com.

The production is set to begin by the end of the year.
