LATEST: Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt's hordes of female admirers are expected to rush for advance tickets to see his upcoming epic TROY - because he's fully nude in the movie's opening scene.

America's STAR magazine quotes a female source who saw an advance screening of the period piece in Los Angeles on 28 April (04) say the beginning of the film is a "jaw dropper".

Pitt, 40, is reportedly seen stark naked on a bed with two totally nude women by his side. The heart-throb is on his stomach with his buttocks fully exposed. The camera then follows him as he stands up.

The source says, "If the shot had been cropped even a fraction of an inch lower, we would have had full frontal Brad Pitt nudity.

"The movie seems like it was about how many gorgeous shots of a nude or at least partially nude Brad Pitt they would get on screen. I lost track of how many times I saw his butt."
