Former "Downton Abbey" star Jessica Brown Findlay regrets flashing her breasts in her first big-screen appearance.
The 23-year-old actress, known for her role as Lady Sybil in the PBS drama, played a character who had an affair with an older man in her first flick, "Albatross," in 2011.
"To be honest, 'Albatross' was naivety and not knowing that I could say no," Findlay told the Radio Times on her nude scene.
"I had no idea what was going to happen and thought I was going to be shot from behind."

In the scene, the actress shows her chest to prove her age to buy cigarettes.
Despite the huge success of "Downton Abbey," the young starlet revealed why she chose to leave the popular show.
"Hollywood is not for me. I love acting, but I also love London," she said.
She said she feared falling into a comfort zone with the show and since her contract was ending, she decided it was time to go.

"I was unsure about signing away another year. Leaving terrified me, and that's what made me want to do it," she explained.
The actress is now ready for whatever the next steps are in her career.
“Being afraid and going into the unknown excites me," she said, "and what scared me more was to keep going and then one day discover it was all I could do and wish I had pushed myself more. I'd prefer to fail and fall flat on my face."
Findlay seems to be sure of one thing — future nude scenes, semi or otherwise, likely aren’t in her future .
“I think if you're going to do a nude scene, be honest and natural," she continued. "Otherwise I'd be starving myself for ever, which I just couldn't do!"
