Marisa Tomei to plays stripper in The Wrestler

London (ANI): 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.
