New Delhi, March 14: Charlize Theron finds it easier to drop her clothes than portray ‘a raw emotion’ on screen.

“''The Burning Plain''” star insisted that conveying emotions during a scene could end up being more challenging than the mere act of peeling layers, reports China Daily.

She said: "Being naked is one of those things I think people think of in an isolated, compartmentalised way, but sometimes it''s harder to do a scene where you have to bear a raw emotion of pain or vulnerability.

"That kind of nakedness is sometimes much harder than taking your clothes off."

The Oscar-winning actress further added she would not mind putting on a director hat since she loved the totality of the filming experience.

She said: "If you'' asked me ten years ago if I would produce, I probably would have said, ''You''re crazy.'' But it''s become one of those things that the older I''ve gotten and the more I''ve done this, the more I realise I love film making.

"It''s not the idea of playing a role and showing up and just acting and doing my thing, it''s the collaborative aspect of it that I really love." (ANI)
