Jessica Alba shocked fans last week when a nude scene from her latest film Machete leaked in the press. But what looked like a naked shot of the star has been found to be fake and new photographs show Alba was actually wearing underwear, which was later digitally removed, reports The Daily Mail, London.
The Latino star told Scarlet magazine in February that she would never bare all for the cameras, saying: ‘No, I'll never do a nude scene. I can act sexy and wear sexy clothes but I can't go naked.'
The naked truth: Jessica Alba was actually wearing white underwear in the 'naked' scene, which was later removed through digital technology
So it's no surprise that the 29-year-old enlisted some help from digital experts to remove the white underwear that she's shown wearing in the original shower scene.
The Sin City star continued: 'I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed, and I remember my grandmother would freak out and throw a towel over me if she saw me wearing just a bra and panties.
'I come from a very Catholic family so it wasn't seen as a good thing to flaunt yourself like that. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off.'
And the actress stuck to her word while filming Robert Rodriguez's arthouse action film, which is based on Mexican B-movies.

The movie also stars Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Rodriguez, Don Johnson and ex-con Danny Trejo in the lead role as Machete.
An arthouse 'Mexploitation' action movie, it tells the story of an ex-Federale, or above the law cop, who launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss when he betrays him.

It opens in the UK on 26 November.
Fantastic Four favourite Jessica meanwhile next appears in movie An Invisible Sign - presumably with her clothes back on.
