Helena Bonham Carter decided to overcome her fear of fish by stripping naked and posing with a tuna for a charitable cause to raise awareness on unsustainable fishing practices.
[fwdevp preset_id=”8″ video_path=”qZUNAh-hRAM”]Her pal Greta Scacchi persuaded her to take part in the project in support of the Blue Marine Foundation.
The charity is campaigning for marine reserves to protect endangered species around the world.
Helena Bonham Carter, who split from long-term partner Tim Burton last year, added that the photoshoot was extra challenging for her as she’s actually afraid of fish.
She said: “I am a big supporter of protecting the marine environment.
“I’m actually very phobic about fish so when Greta asked me to be photographed naked with a 27kg tuna I was more worried about touching it than getting my kit off.”
However, the mother-of-two said that by the end of the experience, she had grown to like the bigeye tuna.
She added: “I conquered my fears and by the end of the morning we’d truly bonded.
“He will be my Valentine.”
