London, Dec 11: American actress Marisa Tomei goes topless in what has been said to be her most sizzling movie scenes to date.

Tomei, 44, who plays a stripper in the Oscar-touted new movie `The Wrestler', and has proved that she still has the looks and body for the part even at her age.

The `My Cousin Vinny' star, sporting two nipple rings, can be seen gyrating through a strip show, and she revealed that she spent hours watching rocker Bret Michaels' raunchy reality show and pole dancing with a pal to get the role right.

"I had a friend who is a yoga teacher and she does a lot of pole dancing so I asked her to teach me. I went to a lot of clubs and watched to see the different styles of dancing," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"I would practice in a dance room with a bar and a mirror, like a ballet studio. I watched Rock of Love, that reality show with Bret Michaels, where he''s trying to get a wife and they''re all strippers. That was my closest association to the actual world of it," she said. (ANI)
