Actress Mckenna Grace rejects Hollywood nudity, 'hypersexual' roles
Rising Hollywood star Mckenna Grace has drawn a firm line against participating in on-screen nudity, and separately revealed that her dream is to one day play a Disney princess.
Speaking with Cosmopolitan, Grace explained that she respects actors who appear in explicit scenes but said those roles do not align with her personal career goals.
"At this point, I definitely dont do nudity or very hypersexual things," Grace said when asked whether there were any roles she would turn down.
"I respect anybody who can, but its terrifying to me. I dont know if thatll ever change," she added.

The 20-year-old actress, who is set to appear in the upcoming "Hunger Games" prequel "Sunrise on the Reaping," began acting as a child. Her credits include the "Ghostbusters" films, "Scream 7" and Hulu's "The Handmaids Tale," for which she earned an Emmy nomination.
Grace said she does not intend to limit herself to wholesome roles. However, she hopes to pursue opportunities that align with her personal boundaries and long-term ambitions.
"Its not like I only do wholesome things — my character literally gets gutted by Ghostface in Scream but my dream is to try and be a Disney princess someday," Grace added.
On Tuesday, Grace clarified on Instagram that "The two quotes being used right now in these titles are unrelated," referring to her comments about wanting to play a Disney princess role.
"Im not uncomfortable doing nude scenes/hypersexual roles simply because I want to be a Disney princess, its just because of my own personal comfortability I have with that sort of thing right now at this point in my life!" Grace added.

Grace is not alone in setting boundaries around intimate scenes in Hollywood. Entertainment critic Christian Toto suggested that Graces earlier appearances on family-friendly shows may have influenced her decision.
"Mckenna got her showbiz start on family-friendly shows like Crash & Bernstein. Perhaps some of those lessons have stuck," Toto, host of "The Hollywood in Toto Podcast," told .
"Or, she's seen former child stars go the hyper-sexual route and wants no part of it. Either way, her instincts here are solid, and she may just carve a healthy lane for her Hollywood career moving forward," he added.
Actress Amy Adams previously recalled turning down a sexually explicit comedy sketch after portraying Giselle in Disneys 2007 film "Enchanted."

"I was so keenly aware of all the young girls that were watching Enchanted," Adams said. "And I didnt want to be the princess singing
