Actress Angelina Jolie is playing the mother of Grendel the evil monster in a movie adaptation of the classic tale of Beowulf, and in one scene appears in nothing by golden paint. Jolie was bashful after seeing herself in a simulated nude scene in forthcoming animated movie Beowulf. The Tomb Raider star— who plays a temptress killer lizard, painted gold and fitted with a tail — admits the motion capture technology was so shockingly real, she phoned her partner Brad Pitt to warn him about the nudity in the family movie. She says, “I was really surprised that I felt that exposed. There are certain moments where I felt actually shy - and called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than we expected. I didn’t expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn’t expect it to feel as real, and so because of especially the type of character I play, it was kind of funny at first.”
