• Views on Being Naked

  Fisher revealed in early January 2009, that she would rather be naked in a film than at home. The star stated, "In your house you don't have a team of people lighting you perfectly. They can light your cellulite so you see it or don't see it; it's the most amazing thing. They can put makeup on your legs, you try on hundreds of outfits until you find the one that looks the most perfect on you. It really has nothing to do with whether you're in shape or not. They can do pretty amazing things with any body type."

  Fischer had this to say about wearing skimpy lingerie for her film role in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, "The producers made me get my lady business waxed so that it didn't come out in my costume. So they sent me to a waxing place and the woman's got hot wax and she's ripping off everything. Just at that moment when I had my leg up in the air and she was applying the wax she said 'my husband and I love you and your show.' It really was the wrong moment to bring that up because I felt so vulnerable."FOX News: 'The Office' Star Jenna Fischer Tells the Naked Truth (January 2, 20090
