Anna Faris plays a Playboy bunny in the upcoming film The House Bunny and posed (clothed) for the September cover of Playboy magazine but she says she wasn't always so eager to show off her physique.
In high school, "I felt unattractive, short and self-conscious about my body, and I would purposely emphasize that by doing odd things," Faris, 31, tells Playboy. "I wore glasses, braces, odd hairdos and dumpy clothes. I was clumsy and awkward. When I was a freshman I wore a Christmas tree skirt as a cape. I couldn't get any dates until senior year."
That's not really a problem anymore for Faris, who was divorced from her husband, Ben Indra, in February. Neither are raunchy comedy roles which even her parents are used to now.
"When I went with my parents and brother to see Scary Movie at a Seattle strip mall the opening weekend, I was like, 'Mom, theres going to be a couple of points when Im going to need you to go to the bathroom or get me popcorn. Just obey me,'" she says. "Now Ive totally broken them in."
