New Delhi, June 4 : Call it perfection at its best - in order to ensure that Kate Winslet's body was consistent with the era projected in the film `The Reader', the actress wore a pubic wig.

The Oscar-winning actress, who had to bare all for the Holocaust movie, told Allure magazine: "I had to grow the hair down there. But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn''t come back quite the way it used to, reports The China Daily.

"They even made me a merkin - a wig - because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough."

Kate previously confessed that she had no problem filming sex scenes with co-star David Kross, who is 18 years old.

The 33-year-old actress explained: "It was the same as shooting any other scene of that nature. A scene with that level of intimacy involving nudity, you know, it''s always nerve-wracking, and you really have to rehearse those scenes so that everybody knows exactly what''s going on. He didn''t need that much looking after." (ANI)
