ROBERTS AVOIDED HANKS' 'BUTT SHOT'

Hollywood actress JULIA ROBERTS avoided the set of her new movie CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR so she didn't have to see co-star TOM HANKS get naked in front of the camera.

Hanks strips off for a scene in the film, but Roberts was too embarrassed to watch her fellow actor bare all so she made sure she stayed well away.

She says, "I wasn't around for Tom's butt shot. A memo was sent round saying, 'If you can't handle it, stay home.' So I didn't go in."

Roberts - who famously disrobed in 1990 film Pretty Woman - recently insisted she will never shed her clothes for a role again, claiming actors who agree to nude scenes are not staying true to their craft.
