AceShowbiz - Camila Mendes feels comfortable baring her breasts in photoshoots.
The American actress shot to fame after landing the role of Veronica Lodge on teen drama "Riverdale", in which she stars alongside Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse. As a result of her growing popularity, numerous magazines have approached the star and she has already appeared on the covers on Cosmopolitan, Seventeen and Marie Claire. And though the photoshoots often require her to wear revealing outfits, Camila is happy to comply.
"I probably would show my t*ts to anybody," the 24-year-old stated in a recent cover interview with Nylon magazine. "I actually would probably do that. I really don't care. It's just this genuine, 'Yeah, these are my boobs. Is there a problem?' I don't understand what the problem is."
Camila, who poses braless wearing a sheer multicoloured striped top in one of the photos, explained that she is reluctant to accept the societal pressure revolving the female anatomy, and becomes frustrated when a debate ensues over her body.

"When I've been in photoshoots, and there's a little bit of my nipple showing, there's always a whole conversation about it. Like with Nylon, everyone was just like, 'Is this okay? Are we going to do this?'" she recalled. "And I was like, 'Everyone stop talking about it. Let's just go shoot it. This isn't a conversation.' I completely shut it down and said that this was something that we were not going to sit there and debate, because I know how I feel about it, and I'm totally fine to take a photo with my t*ts showing."
Though Camila now evokes a refreshing newfound confidence, she also addressed her past struggles with eating disorders - and admitted she is "still dealing" with her illness and "might always still struggle."
