Catherine Zeta-Jones: nudity is just not an issue for me!

We have seen her few times flashed her flesh in the name of acting on a few occasions.

But now Catherine Zeta-Jones has taken a leap of faith, by posing naked for an American woman's magazine allure in her raciest photo shoot to date.

In the pictures the actress puts talk of her shrinking frame to bed as she confidently reveals a toned, but curvy, figure while lounging across the sheets and smoldering into the camera.

And the 40-year-old star, who is currently appearing in Broadway show A Little Night Music in New York, proves to the world she is proud of her body as she reaches middle age.

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.
