Catherine Zeta-Jones poses for first nude at 40

The once-voluptuous actress who has faced criticism for her rapidly shrinking frame proved that she still has a figure to die for in the racy photoshoot, reported Daily Mail online.

In the pictures Zeta Jones poses naked on a rumpled bed smouldering into the camera and the 'Mask of the Zorro' actress says that she did not think twice about undressing.

In fact, she reveals, nudity is just not an issue for her. When it was time for the nude portion of the shoot, the mother of two promptly dropped her robe for Allure magazine.
"That's when your dancing days and being in theatre pay off. When you're doing a quick change, you don't give a damn who sees you," said the actress who has two children with husband, Michael Douglas, 65.

However, while Zeta-Jones may be no shrinking violet, she revealed in an interview earlier this year how she is having to cover up more since moving to New York.

She told TV host David Letterman how she used to frolic nude at the sprawling Bermuda mansion where she lived with her family, but she now stays covered up after moving to the Big Apple last year.
