Yet, despite the fact she is vehemently anti-pornography, Anderson has spoken out about how she found empowerment through as a Playboy centrefold – and her appreciation for the artistic beauty of nude pictures.

She explained to Dazed Digital: “I was trying to take the power back from my life and things which had happened to me in my past. I felt really out of control and felt, not like a victim, but that I wasn’t in charge.

“When I started posing for Playboy and doing things in LA, I realised I was living my own life.

“It was really empowering for me to be that girl. I was always so painfully shy, and when I could break through that, it was just like, freedom. Then you couldn’t stop me from walking down the street naked!”
