As it appears, Angelina Jolie has always been super confident regarding nde scenes in movies. And while millions of her fans wouldn’t mind watching her in the barest form, her 2007 fantasy filmBeowulf, provided the very treat to her audience. With the help of three-dimensional animation, the movie came up with a complete nde structure of the actress.
However, not only audiences but even Angelina Jolie was caught off guard by her animated feature. Despite previously exposing her bare physique in front of the camera, for a few films, Jolie was completely baffled by the n*de animated version of herself. Shocked by how “real”the animation looked, Jolie even warned her then-partner Brad Pitt before he watched the scenes.

Angelina Jolie’s $196M PG-13-RatedBeowulf
Deploying 21st-century movie technology at its finest, directorRobert Zemeckisbrought the Old English epic hero Beowulf to life. Turning the heroic poem into a vibrant and thrilling piece of pop culture, Zemeckis handed the audience his 2007 fantasy filmBeowulf. Without taking the original essence away, the director narrated the poem with authenticity through his PG-13-rated movie.
Just like the poem, even the movie begins with the young warrior, Beowulf (Ray Winstone) who emerges to rescue old King Hrothgar (Anthony Hopkins) and his queen Wealthow’s (Robin Wright Penn) Danish kingdom from the monster Grendel (Crispin Glover). Soon an epic fight breaks out between Grendel the hideously deformed giant, and Beowulf where the hero rips off Grendel’s arm and leaves him to limp home to his mother’s (Angelina Jolie) lair to die.
Angered by the death of her son, Angelina Jolie takes revenge by attacking a hall full of people during a celebration at night. She then strings up the corpses of Beowulf’s men to instigate the hero in him and lure him to his death. And according to plan as Beowulf enters the mother’s lair in the eerie lake, Jolie sets out to seduce him, like she previously did to the old King Hrothgar.
Angelina Jolie’s n*de tempting strides were no doubt too much for the audience, and Zemeckis’ keen pop sensibility mixed with gruesome violence turned the film as bold as a PG-13 rating. Rolling out to give the audience the largest 3-D release,Beowulf(2007) earned $196M at the box office.

Angelina Jolie Was Stunned By Her Realistic Animation
While Robert Zemeckis’ 2007 fantasy epicBeowulfwas filled with massively gory violence and epic fight sequences, it also presented Angelina Jolie as a treat to the eyes. Presenting her as a CGI temptress in his live-action, Zemeckis brought out an extremely realistic version of the actress. So much so, that her bare animated feature caught her off guard.
AlthoughAngelina Joliephysically acted throughout the movie wearing wet suits that tracked her face and body movements, Jolie was stunned by how the whole thing was brought to life through CGI. “I thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be so weird, all of us actors with these dots on our faces, in these wetsuit-type costumes, with no props or sets” Jolie mentioned. She further added, “But what it really does is strip everything down to the essentials of performing.”
Following the end of her shoot, Jolie even planned for her children to watch her film. However, after seeing her bare animated physique, Jolie had to change her mind. Finding herself identical to her original copy, the actress confessed to underestimating the power of animation. “I got a little shy” the actress recalled. “There were certain moments where I actually called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than we expected.” the actress mentioned.
Despite previously doing n*de scenes in several movies, Angelina Jolie was shocked by her appearance inBeowulf. “I was really surprised that I felt that exposed.” the actress stated. She even mentioned how she had to prepare her then partner Brad Pitt, for what he was about to witness.
