Reese Witherspoon has revealed she only chooses to make films that she thinks will set a good example for her children.

The Walk the Line Oscar winner star has two children - nine year old daughter Ava and five year old son Deacon - with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe and she explained recently that she steers clear of roles that would require her to strip, because of the message it sends out.

She told Fox News: “I had my first baby when I was 23, so for me, no [I won’t strip on film].

“I’ve always been choosing roles knowing that I have a daughter and I have a responsibility to her and to the world to be representing women of strength. These are the women I know in life.

“I think it’s a natural extension of parenthood for you to feel like you’re responsible for the worlds you create, whether they be silly or serious.

“I think you are responsible for the art you put in the world.”
