Antonio Banderas is wary of stripping on screen

Spanish film actor Antonio Banderas has revealed that he is wary of stripping on screen and no longer wants to flaunt his body as he gets older.

Banderas, 48, who had to disrobe for a passionate scene with Australian actress Radha Mitchell in upcoming crime drama The Code, now feels uncomfortable getting naked in front of the cameras.

"It's always uneasy when you get into bed with a woman on screen," Contactmusic quoted Banderas as telling The New York Post. "It's difficult because you have 50 people around and there are some people who are sensitive to that."

Banderas, whose full name is Jose Antonio Dominguez Banderas, became an international star with his role as El Mariachi in the film Desperado in 1995. Never known for his shyness, he performed some pretty graphic sex scenes with Angelina Jolie in the 2001 film Original Sin.

"Radha was... she is a lady, so I tried to be as respectful as possible. At the same time, I'm nearly 50 years old, and even I start getting more wary of those scenes...

"Everything changes as you get older — your mind, your body, the way you view the world," Banderas said.
