Kim Basinger feels "vulnerable" because her daughter's teenage friends have seen her naked.

The 55-year-old star is mortified some of 13-year-old Ireland's male classmates have seen her raunchy films, and refuses to get out of the car when she drops her daughter at school.

She said: "At my daughter's school these boys are now 13 or 14 years old and they know more about my business than they should.

"Now when I drop her off at school I'm not allowed to get out of the car. But it's funny because these boys will recognise me and wave.

Once I make these movies, I've lived so deep with the character that it would be too shallow to watch it. I know it's a weird thing.

"Sometimes, Ireland will come home and tell me stories I just don't want to hear. Sometimes you do feel vulnerable, especially when you have a movie coming out."

Unlike Ireland's pals, Kim has never watched one of her films, and can't even remember the names of some of the characters she has played.

She said: "Once I make these movies, I've lived so deep with the character that it would be too shallow to watch it. I know it's a weird thing.

"But once I've travelled in those waters and gone to the depths that you need to go to, I don't know that I would get any benefit from watching the film.

"I don't have a good relationship with myself on the screen."
