Russian model, Irina Shayk, who is also the girlfriend of football superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, makes her sexy film debut in "Hercules," baring a whole lot of skin.

Irina considered her nude appearance in the film "artistic." She plays the role of Hercules' wife, Mergara.

Air Herald noted in a report that the daring exposure in the movie doesn't seem to bother Irina, who has also appeared in raunchy photo shoots for the lingerie brand, Victoria's secret.

"I'm a woman who is very confident with the body, with my body. I feel like you can be naked on a different level. To be half-naked for a Greek mythology movie, it's a piece of art. You know, there's nothing vulgar in there," Irina said.

She also told Air Herald that she didn't have to do any special diet like what his leading man, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, did to be fit for the "Hercules" role.

"No diet for me. I love to eat so just balancing between eating and working out. I had a little chocolate. I was pretty bad with food on set. It doesn't matter if you're small, big or fit, if you go in front of the camera and deliver and say, 'Oh my God, I look amazing,' and just be sure about yourself, everything will be perfect," she said.

Irina attended the movie premiere in Hollywood without Cristiano by her side, wrote ENSTARS, but she "wowed" the crowd with her scarlet Alaia dress while posing with her co-star, Dwayne.

Though Ronaldo was not present during the premiere night, Irina is always thinking about her boyfriend, ENSTARS added.

She told The Sun that Ronaldo shows a different side when he is around family and friends.

"People who love him, know a different side of him. He's generous, he's funny. He's just perfect, that's why I am with him," Irina said.

When it comes to her career, Irina, according to ENSTARS, is open to more possibilities -- acting projects, TV stints and the like.

Asked about her future plan, Irina said: "It's like a lottery. Modeling opens so many doors - television hosting, acting, designing - so you can never plan."
