Helena Christensen covers the Janury 2010 issue of UK Elle magazine. Posing nude with her arms covering her breasts, the Danish model said: “I have no problems with showing my body. I’m Danish. Everyone’s naked on the beaches. We don’t really give a s***.” Proving she has no problem with nudity, the 40-year-old mother-of-one recently also took part in a topless photoshoot alongside Eva Herzigova and Claudia Schiffer.

More on nudity: “I just wanted the nudity to be in that normal, subtle way because my grandmother is still alive and I want to keep her for another 15 years – I don’t want her to get a shock. I love breasts. I love the female shape.
It’s crazy – you can have movie posters with men with machine guns but, oh, God forbid you show the nipples! That never ceases to amaze me. It’s flabbergasting. I can understand if you have your legs spread and you’re pushing yourself into the camera – that’s sexually erotic. But the sensual contours in the male or female shape? Come on, guys, relax.”
