Game of Thrones star Lena Headey's 'Walk of Shame' nude body double has been revealed as actress Rebecca Van Cleave.
Headey opted out of going naked for the harrowing six-minute sequence "for several reasons", one of which was so she could fully focus on the emotions in her performance.
The actress also wasn't involved in the casting process for her double, adding: "I was like, 'Listen guys, she happens to have a beautiful body, but I don't do casting'. If somebody is brave enough to do this, I applaud it."
We've found 11 other actors and actresses who've spoken candidly about choosing a body double instead of baring their naked bits on the big screen.
And you may find some film scenes quite surprising (it wasn't really Kevin Costner frolicking naked in a waterfall!).

If you’ve been anxiously waiting since 2007’s Grindhouse to hand over some of your hard-earned pesos and witness the further exploits of ex-Federale agent Machete (Danny Trejo), then it hardly matters how any critic feels about the product.
In case you are still reading, fans of the character will be relieved to find exactly what they were hoping for, in some cases quite literally (with almost every shot from the fake Grindhouse trailer recreated). Machete is a B-movie thrill, deliriously gory and ridiculously over-the-top with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
“Machete doesn’t text” our über-grizzled title character states early on. What the hulking, old-school action hero does emphatically do is brutally execute just about every two-faced crook he comes in contact with. Of course, Machete is forced into his campaign of vengeance after being set up by the sneering, gravel-voiced businessman Booth (Jeff Fahey). Other bad guys in the mix include racist,...

For actress-turned-inmate Lindsay Lohan, her role in Machete may be her shot at a comeback. It's her first appearance on the big screen since her time behind bars, and Lohan, 24, is baring it all for the over-the-top, action-packed thriller, which hits theaters Friday. In the film, Lohan tramps it up for her role as April, a wannabe model with a drug addiction. And when she's not dressed as a nun - who shoots people -, critics say the starlet strips down for the camera. "[Lohan is] frequently naked as the randy daughter of a political figure," a New York Post critic writes.

From its mass murderous macabre opening, to its bloody, sex laced and blatantly explosive ending, Machete delivers one potent, thought provoking, and tantalizingly delicious adrenaline ride.
Thought provoking? We’ll get to that in a minute. The film follows Machete Cortez, an on the edge cop – hell bent on bringing down Torrez, a notorious drug dealer and crime lord. Double-crossed by his fellow men in uniform and forced to watch the execution of his wife and unborn child – you start to understand his motivation for revenge. After being left for dead and somehow surfacing year’s later, he gets embroiled in a plot designed to bolster a local bigoted politician while simultaneously leading a revolution to fight the illegal and immoral ways the United States borders are policed and controlled. All of this while maneuvering through a bevy of women who all want him, despite his looks, which border on ‘rugged’ to be kind.

Are Lindsay Lohan's DUI-related legal tussles and profane manicures affecting what's left of her once (long, long ago) promising film career?
Is that why she's not in the new teaser trailer for Robert Rodriguez's "Machete," even though she was in an earlier version? Or is the reason for the slice because she reportedly only has a brief (topless) cameo in the movie?
She is, however, on what wants to be a controversial poster for the film, which also stars Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal and Don Johnson.
In a tedious LiLo pose we've (yawn) grown used to, she is seen licking a very large gun, wearing a nun's habit, with blood splattered over the image. It reads: "Lindsay Lohan as The Sister."
Huffington Post reports that in the film, Lindsay (who is not dead) goes topless -- swimming in a waterfall -- with Alicia Rachel Marek,...

While no one seems to know exactly what Lindsay Lohan's role in Robert Rodriguez's Machete will entail, Hollywood Life is reporting that the actress will appear topless while swimming in a waterfall with Alicia Rachel Marek (Grindhouse), who plays her mother.
Oh, yes, and Lohan will be featured for about ten minutes of screen time, if anyone actually cares about that.
The 22-year-old actress' scene sounds vaguely reminiscent of the Machete trailer featured in Grindhouse, where two actresses make-out with Danny Trejo.
The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert De Niro) a corrupt Senator.
Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger,...

Words on the street are Lindsay Lohan is going to bare her curve in next movie. Hollywood Life claimed they have obtained the original "Machete" script which mentions that the actress has a scene in which she is going to get wet and topless while skinny-dipping with her on-screen mom in a waterfall.
In this upcoming Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis-directed flick, Lohan has about 10 minutes of screen time as gun-toting socialite April Benz, Hollywood Life further reported. Meanwhile, playing her mother June is 34-year-old Alicia Rachel Marek.
Based on the fake trailer in Rodriguez's "Grindhouse", "Machete" has star-studded cast ensemble.
Danny Trejo plays the title character with Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal and many others on supporting roles.
The film will tell the story of a Mexican ex-Federal agent named Machete with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day...

As much as Lindsay Lohan appaers to be drunk or high, or whatever it is that she's doing stumbling around on the front pages of every tabloid on a weekly basis, it.s kind of amazing that she isn.t naked twenty-four hours a day. Though she.s done a couple of magazine shoots, it seems Lindsay has saved her cinematic nipples for Robert Rodriguez because according to Hollywood Life she.ll be topless in Machete. But wait, there's more! The movie will also feature a scene in which her character, April Benz, goes skinny dipping with her Mom (being played by Alicia Rachel Marek). That same scene actually happens in the Machete Grindhouse trailer, though of course with a different red-headed actress playing Lohan's character. Play the trailer below and you'll see it at around the 1:40 mark. Warning: Definitely Not Safe For Work. <!-- ...

That.s actually not the weirdest thing about this story. For some reason, the movie will also feature a scene in which her character, April Benz, goes skinny dipping with her Mom (being played by Alicia Rachel Marek). A waterfall is involved and though it.s not mentioned in the story, I presume they.ll also be carrying some sort of large snake while Enigma plays in the background. Or maybe not.
