Brittany Snow says her nude scenes in 'X' were an 'exercise' about 'feeling confident' in her own body

• Brittany Snow told Insider filming her nude scenes in the horror film "X" was all about confidence.

• "It was an exercise in me feeling confident about my body," the "Pitch Perfect" actress said.

• Snow plays a porn star in 1970s Texas whose visit to a rural farmhouse goes terribly wrong.

Brittany Snow plays an outgoing Texas porn star in the new horror movie "X," but the actress told Insider that filming her nude scenes for the flick was an "exercise" in confidence.

"It's a sex-forward movie, and obviously there's nudity in it," Snow said in a recent interview. "Within that, you have nerves about how vulnerable the position is."

The "Pitch Perfect" star praised director Ti West, as well as the on-set intimacy coordinator, for making the actors feel "very, very comfortable" during their nude scenes. There are several depictions of sex in the film, which follows a group of porn stars in 1970s Texas who travel to a rural farmhouse to make an adult movie, with disastrous results.

"I think there was a lot of confidence in terms of our characters, and a part of the nudity came from that confidence that our characters exuded," Snow explained. "It almost felt necessary, because not only were we filming a porn, but our characters would've been so comfortable with that."

Snow told Insider that filming the movie's sex scenes "was an exercise in me feeling confident about my body."

"I was pretty proud of myself because you spend a lot of time in your twenties just hating yourself," the actress said. "And then at a certain point you get this and you're like, 'Screw it, let's do it.'"

"X" stars Snow, Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, and Kid Cudi, and is currently playing in theaters. You can watch the trailer below.
