|
She's one of Hollywood's leading sex symbols thanks to her screen siren role in the likes of Austin Powers, Boogie Nights and The Hangover.
But Heather Graham has revealed while it took her 'a long time' to feel good about sex, it has now finally become a part of who she is.
Opening up in an interview with the November/December issue of Women's Health magazine, she explained: 'It’s an aspect of my personality. Sex is a part of who I am and it took me a long time to feel good about it.

'I wasn’t sure if it was good or bad to be a person who really enjoys sex.'
In spite of her views surrounding sex, the 43-year-old actress slammed Hollywood as a 'sexist' industry, and claimed that women don't have the freedom to express themselves sexually in the US.
She added: 'The industry is totally sexist. It’s run by men mostly. Look at the movies that are coming out. How many are about women? If you look at who the leads are, they’re probably 75 per cent men.

'A woman being able to express her sexuality is the ultimate form of freedom. In American culture, I feel like women don’t have the safety to express themselves sexually.
'There’s a lot of movies about men’s fantasies, but what about women? What would the world be like if women asked for everything they wanted?'
In an accompanying shoot for the magazine, Heather flashed her seemingly endless legs and envy-inducing washboard abs in a skimpy crop top and drawstring hot pants, before switching into a daring cut-out detail gown with a soaring thigh-high split.

But in spite of her incredible looks, the Hangover starlet insisted she is just 'a big nerd' deep down.
She joked: 'I always wanted to be the pretty girl, but I thought I wasn’t. When I started acting and getting pretty girl roles, I felt like I was just pretending, and nobody saw I was just this big nerd.'
Heather also opened up on motherhood and finding the elusive 'Mr Right', admitting she's not a person who is desperate to have a child.
She added: 'I’m not the kind of person who needs to be a mother no matter what. Life brings you people.
'Maybe I’ll nurture someone who’s not my child, like a friend, or an actor I’m working with who needs some love.
'He’d be fun, kind and interesting. So you can have intimacy through being open with each other.'
