When it comes to one of her early roles, Jessica Brown Findlay feels like a bit of a boob.

During an interview with Radio Times, the former Downton Abbey star expressed her regret over flashing her breasts in the 2011 film Albatross.

"To be honest, Albatross was naivety and not knowing that I could say no," the 23-year-old actress told the magazine.

Findlay was referring to a scene in which she lifts up her shirt to prove she is old enough to buy cigarettes.

"I had no idea what was going to happen and thought I was going to be shot from behind," the young starlet added.

Not surprising, Findlay isn't looking for a repeat performance.

"It's not something I would do again," she said.

Meanwhile, Findlay just filmed the movie Winter's Tale opposite Russell Crowe and Will Smith. Fully clothed, we assume.
