Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto requested a body double for one steamy scene in new movie epic Immortals because she refused to bare her backside.
 
The Slumdog Millionaire star plays a priestess who romances Henry Cavill's character Theseus, the king of Athens, in the film.
 
The two stars' characters enjoy a tryst in the movie - but Pinto reveals it isn't her backside cinemagoers will see in their love scene.
 
She tells Eonline.com, "It wasn't really my butt. It was a butt double. I'm relieved I don't have to deal with that issue."

The movie is directed by Tarsem Singh and is produced by the people that brought us the visually stunning 300.

And Pinto will be back on the big screen in the new year with movie Black Gold, which also stars Mark Strong.

Immortals is released 11th November.
