British actor has never filmed a sex scene for a movie - because he is too embarrassed by his body to ever strip off on camera. The 59-year-old star has enjoyed a long and varied career, beginning in theater and going on to land high profile roles in movies including the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and 2003's Love Actually.

But Nighy admits he has always shied away from roles as the romantic lead - as he would never be brave enough to bare all for cinema audiences.

He says, "I'm too shy and I didn't want to take my top off, as I've got a difficult body. I didn't want to show anyone as I knew that when it got around to it, I was dead in the water, and if a future Mrs. Nighy was out there I would be single for the rest of my life."
