London, Sep 21 - Hollywood actress Charlize Theron went to great lengths to ensure that the paparazzi didn't crash in while she was filming for her nude scenes in upcoming movie 'The Burning Plain'.

The Oscar winner disrobes for her role in the upcoming drama and is seen smoking a cigarette through an open window in full view of passers-by. But movie bosses were worried photographers would catch the star naked once they discovered the location of the shoot so they changed the time of filming to make sure Theron's scenes were kept secret, reports ibdb.com.

'We had to shoot the scene at 6 a.m. before any of the photographers were up. It was done in such secrecy that it wasn't even in the script. Only three people, including myself, knew it was going to happen,' said Guillermo Arriaga, director of the film.
