I grew up with lots of topless sunbathing and stuff. I don't want to just stand around naked if I don't need to, but I've also never been afraid of it. As an actress, taking your clothes off is completely your own choice it should be up to you it shouldn't be up to anybody else. I've never been afraid of a nude scene if it's something that I think is important in a film.

You've done nude scenes in several of your movies, including Horns. I love the idea of playing women I think I'm going to learn from. I'd love to sit and have a conversation with them, however bizarre or magical or otherworldly or lost or whatever it is they are. I've only ever played characters I would love to meet in my real life. I think it's so important when you're playing a character that you can't judge the person you're playing at all. You don't seem to have many inhibitions about what parts you're willing to play. And the same with Horns - playing an American a memory, all of these things that I just find so interesting and such a challenge - I like the idea of that a lot. I grew up in the southwest of England, so like with Killer Joe, getting to play a girl who lives in the deep South in a trailer park is something completely new to me that I have to wrap my head around. I definitely like the idea of a challenge. It's like a physical reaction - I just want to play this person and I will try my hardest to fight to play this part. It's very much kind of an initial reaction, I guess. How do you choose all of these unique, intense roles? You're only 25, but you've already played a stripper, a prostitute, and now a girl who's dead for the entire movie. Juno recently chatted with about why she's not afraid of nude scenes, what she's doing for Halloween, and what it really feels like to have a bunch of snakes crawling all over you. So a murdered girlfriend who in one scene has to lie in a pile of live snakes? No problem.

If that sounds totally insane to you, know that 25-year-old Juno has already played a lesbian werewolf ( Jack & Diane), a stripper/prostitute ( Afternoon Delight), and a young girl used as the "retainer fee" for a hit man ( Killer Joe). Her murderer? Not clear, but possibly her boyfriend Ig (Daniel Radcliffe), who starts growing literal horns after the entire town decides he's guilty. In the new movie Horns (out Friday), Juno Temple plays a character named Merrin who appears only in flashbacks, because she gets murdered before the events of the film even start.
