Natalie Portman Nude? Afraid Not

Egotastic has reported the sad news that there will be no actual scenes of Natalie Portman nude in "Goya's Ghosts".

For those who haven't smashed their monitor yet in frustration, Natalie Portman's agent set the record straight on tonight's "Access Hollywood", confirming that the film's nude torture scene is performed by a nude body double, and not Natalie at all.

Set in late 18th century Spain, the film follows the trials of the friendship between Francisco Goya, Spain's most famous artist, and the priest Lorenzo who spearheads the revival of the dreaded Inquisition.

Portman plays Goya's beautiful model Ines who is unjustly imprisoned and tortured by the Inquisition before being raped by Lorenzo.
