LONDON, May 27 (UPI) -- Rebel Wilson has revealed that she refuses to appear naked on-screen, even adding nude stipulations to her film contracts.

"[Filming The Brothers Grimsby] They wanted full-frontal nudity," the actress explained about her most recent comedy alongside Sacha Baron Cohen in the latest issue of Marie Claire UK, in which she also appears on the cover.

"We write in the contract, specifically, 'No nudity,'" she continued.

In order to feature her character in the nude, the comedian explained that another actress was brought in. "They got in another girl -- this larger burlesque dancer from South Africa -- to be a nude double. And they got her to do all this stuff," Wilson said. "Sacha would go,'See, she looks good.' I'm like, 'I'm not doing it. I don't care what you say.'"

Despite her reservations, Wilson did admit that perhaps she could be persuaded to strip-down for a more serious role, however, she noted, "You want to know that the people [behind the camera] have a certain sensibility and decency. And a lot of times in comedy, they're not those people."

On Thursday, Wilson made a surprise appearance on The Late Late Show interrupting host James Corden and Friends star David Schwimmer's epic Drop the Mic rap battle.

"Don't battle me because you know it's not worth it, everybody knows my rhymes are Pitch Perfect," she rapped before being declared the winner.
