Salma Hayek's latest movie features the actress in a topless scene, reports say.

According to contactmusic.com, in director Robert Towne's movie 'Ask The Dust' Salma appears in a full-frontal nude scene.

The scene shows Salma on a beach with actor Collin Farrell.

In the film, a romantic drama, Salma plays a character that has a very bold and free-spirited personality.

Contactmusic.com quotes Salma as defending her sexy scene: "I don't want to do nudity just for the sake of doing nudity. But this is an iconic part of the story from the book. It's important because it represents my character Camilla's spirit, which is very free, and yet she lives in world where she is very repressed by the circumstances. So the nudity is almost symbolic for who she is."

'Ask The Dust' is an adaptation of the John Fantes depression novel.

The book tells the story of a woman who is bent on marrying a rich older white man. But instead she falls for a first generation Italian (played by Colin Farrell).
