Don't expect to see Rebel Wilson naked onscreen any time soon.

The Australian Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect star has never stripped down on-camera before and even had a no nudity clause put into her contract for her latest film, Sacha Baron Cohen's R-rated comedy The Brothers Grimsby, which was released in March.

"They wanted full-frontal nudity," Wilson told Marie Claire U.K. in an interview posted Thursday. "We write in the contract, specifically, 'No nudity.' They got in another girl—this larger burlesque dancer from South Africa—to be a nude double. And they got her to do all this stuff. Sacha would go, 'See, she looks good.' I'm like, 'I'm not doing it. I don't care what you say.'"

However, Marie Claire U.K. said Wilson revealed she could be persuaded to get naked for a more serious movie.

"You want to know that the people [behind the camera] have a certain sensibility and decency," she said. "And a lot of times in comedy they're not those people."

Wilson, who appears on the cover of Marie Claire U.K.'s July 2016 issue, also talked about her love life in the interview. She dated actor Mickey Gooch Jr. for several months last year.

"I'm very independent," Wilson told Marie Claire U.K. "To the point where I'm too independent. If you're a successful woman, you want to find the right person, but you don't necessarily need them. I don't know whether that sounds weird, but there's a whole crop of young women who are in that situation now. I don't want to settle for someone if they're not right but, because I get to do such awesome fun stuff all the time, I really want to share that with somebody. We'll see."

"I'm definitely on the lookout," she added. "I'm trying to put it out there, but I don't know whether the right person is in Hollywood—you only meet actors or musicians here."
