Julia Roberts decided to stay offset, some might say wisely, during Tom Hanks' nude scene in Charlie Wilson's War.

The Pretty Woman star says she would've been far too embarrassed to stand around watching the naked 51-year-old fellow Oscar winner in the scene during which he emerges from a Jacuzzi with his rear end fully exposed.

"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 said.

No doubt there wouldn't have been a similar memo required for the cast when Julia Roberts bikini shot was filmed.
