Once a stripper, Chris Pratt now keeps his body to himself ever since he found religion. Not only he has sworn on not doing nude scenes, but he would also refrain from any kind of sex scene.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, Jessica Alba justified her refrainment from nudity, “I don’t want my grandparents to see my boobs. That’s it, it would be weird at Christmas. And, I mean, really, if you look at the movies I have done, getting naked would never ‘elevate’ the picture”.
