"We all focus on our bodies in our late teens and our early 20s, in a way that is just not cool or healthy," she said.

"In your 30s, you become aware of staying fit.

"Now I view my physical self as an instrument that I have to keep going because I'm a mother, and I have to be as healthy as I can for those three people who need me — more than I need for myself to be in a f*cking nude scene."

The mother-of-three also spoke out about her past marriages, saying: " F**ck me, it hasn't been easy."



The actress divorced Jim Threapleton in 2001 after three years of marriage and Sam Mendes in 2010 after seven years and she said she's glad she kept the details surrounding both splits private.

"No one really knows what has happened in my life. No one really knows why my first marriage didn't last; no one knows why my second didn't. I'm proud of those silences," she said.
