Shailene Woodley Not Interested to Play Anastasia Steele of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’

Shailene Woodley said she didn't want to play Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey. The actress revealed that she didn't shy away from showing some skin in roles.

The 23-year-old star, who poses topless in the April issue of Glamour UK, says she "wasn't really interested" in playing the racy part.

The Fault in our Stars actress had already signed on for Divergent anyway. Also, when she read the book, she thought that if somebody really can pull this off and make a movie out of it, they will be the biggest genius.

While some young starlets may steer clear of nudity, Woodley says she is totally comfortable with it. In fact, she does sex scenes in movies without anything on.

According to TooFab, the actress said, "I'm not sure it empowers me as an actress or anything, but if I'm going to do a movie with sex scenes, then I'm going to be naked. Because I don't know about you, but I don't have sex with bras and panties on."

On that note, her sexuality is obviously something she's not afraid to talk about -- she once admitted to tanning her vagina -- preferring the European attitude toward sex much more than America's take on it.

Part of the reason why the actress loves Europe is that sexuality is no big deal there. She explained that when she goes to a topless beach, the dudes aren't checking out her tits, because they're just boobs.

"[In America], sex is something that's not talked about - yet it's in our faces more than anything else," she continues. "In school, rather than teach you about sex, they tell you about abstinence, which doesn't work."
