It has emerged that actress Liv Tyler will strip for a steamy love scene in her upcoming movie The Ledge for the first time in 15 years.

It is the first nude scene since the 1996's Stealing Beauty for the 33-year-old actress, reports the Fox News.

'I was like, 'No way, sorry,' she had said after reading the Stealing Beauty script calling for her to appear au natural.

'Of course the thought of showing your body parts is a terrifying thought I find it terrifying. Let alone the whole world. And I fought it until the very end,' she said.

However, this time Tyler eventually lost her argument and lost her top in Bernardo Bertolucci's coming of age film.

The film will be open in limited release on July 8.
