And now I want a body double and they won\u2019t give it to me! So they\u2019re equally ridiculous. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a hundred people standing around you. I think I\u2019m probably more self-conscious now than I was when I was younger because things need to be lifted so I\u2019ve got to have a pulley system to lift &#8216;the girls\u2019 up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn You\u2019re Killing Me, Brooke&#8217;s on-screen character &#8211; a best-selling crime novelist called Allison Chandler &#8211; has an attraction to Tom Cavanagh, a police detective.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd Brooke has teased how their dynamic might evolve during their time on the show.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;They butt heads and that makes their attraction even stronger.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We don\u2019t know yet whether there will be a full-on coupling of the two of us &#8230; but this game where we spar intellectually and catch each other on things is just charming. He&#8217;s got a twinkle that he knows very well how to access.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Brooke previously admitted that she felt uncomfortable discussing her body as a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress was asked about her &#8220;measurements&#8221; by TV host Barbara Walters when she was just 15, and Brooke recalled feeling deeply uncomfortable at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\nBrooke &#8211; who has been married to film director Chris Henchy since 2001 &#8211; told the Dinner&#8217;s On Me podcast: &#8220;It&#8217;s also insane that Barbara Walters asked me my measurements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBrooke went along with the question in the moment but she now wishes she had handled it differently.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe model &#8211; who was married to sports star Andre Agassi between 1997 and 1999 &#8211; said: &#8220;I did it. Like, I didn&#8217;t brush it off or anything. If someone asked me that now, I&#8217;d come back with some kind of a quip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/brooke-shields-feels-self-conscious-1444741.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 May 2026 Brooke Shields is &#8220;probably more self-conscious&#8221; than she used to be while shooting sex scenes.
