Actress Charlize Theron made comments about her love of being naked and the remarks, which were misconstrued, have gone viral.

In a joint interview with her "Prometheus" co-star Michael Fassbender for W Magazine, Theron was asked if it's harder to film a death scene or a sex scene: "It depends on who you're doing the sex scene with," she replied. "I don't have issues being naked (pauses) . . . That sounds very slutty."

"Kind of," Fassbender replied. "I didn't want to say anything, but yes."

Charlize Theron shares the cover of the magazine's August issue with Fassbender for a sexy fashion spread that features the minimally dressed actors fondling each other and photographed mocking sex poses in a warehouse.

"What I mean is, I'm not hung up on my body," Theron clarifies. "I've been lucky to work with people I've been really comfortable with. I've had maybe two occasions where [I wasn't]."

Theron then joked, "And Michael's one of the two who did not make me feel very comfortable!"

When Michael was asked what was easier to film death scenes or sex scenes he replied: "I don't know. Sex scenes sound like more fun than they are. Death scenes are easier, really. Maybe because I've died so many times. I've had a lot of practice. In my movies, I'm often naked or dying."

Fassbender shot to fame when he appeared nude in 2011's "Shame." He also gained notoriety for his role in "Hunger," where he played the IRA activist Bobby Sands who fasted in protest of the conflict in Ireland and later starved to death. He has also appeared in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" (2009), and in the superhero film "X-Men: First Class." 

Theron won the Academy Award for Best Actress and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Drama for her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in "Monster" (2003). This year she also starred in "Snow White & the Huntsman."
