Washington, November 18 : Actress Rosario Dawson, who used to be a regular at nude beaches from an early age, has her mom to thank for making her love her body.

The singer, who is perhaps best known for her roles in films such as ‘the Sin City’ and ‘He Got Game’, was encouraged to drop her clothes at beaches – since her mum hated to see tan lines on her little girl.

"My mom took us to a nude beach all the time when I was young,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Playboy magazine.

“She''''d say, ''''I hate tan lines,'''' and off our bathing suits would go.

“I mean, why should there be any shame or weirdness about something so beautiful and natural?" she added. (ANI)
