50 Shades of Grey movie cast rumors continue to swirl, and Emma Watson is again hitting headlines. The British actress has denied that she has been approached to play Anastasia Steele in the highly anticipated film, however, she has said that she is ready and willing to do nude scenes if needed.

The news will be sure to get Emma Watson fans hot under the collar, and the high profile actress is certainly one of the main names being talked about to take on the part of Anastasia Steele.

It appears Watson is preparing her fans for the day that she accepts a more revealing part, so that it does not come across as a complete shock to those more used to her clean and innocent image playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series.

Watson recently spoke to Hello! magazine about taking her clothes off for a movie role. She said, "I've been saying since I was 16 that if it's the right role and important for character development and the story, then of course I'll do it."

Certainly getting nude will be an important part of Anastasia Steele’s character, and Emma Watson could well pull off the part well, as the character must develop from a pure, innocent virgin to a sex fiend over the course of the movie.

Watson has been pleased to have been linked to the 50 Shades of Grey movie cast. She has said, "It's very exciting that people are starting to see me in a different way. It means that they're allowing me the space to grow and develop and reincarnate myself."

If she does not get the part on 50 Shades of Grey it certainly seems that at some point Emma Watson will take a very intentional step in dropping her good girl image by taking on a more revealing role, as she continues to look to reinvent herself from nerdy student Hermione Granger.
