Amanda Beard Nude Playboy Photo 14

She recently talked with Sports Illustrated writer Richard Deitsch about her decision.

Amanda Beard Nude Playboy Cover Photo SI: Do you consider yourself sexy?

Beard: No, not at all.

SI: How is that possible?

Beard: You should see me when I wake up for morning workouts. I don’t feel sexy at all.

SI: Are you happy with the photos?

Beard: I love the photographs. I’m really excited for everyone to see them.

SI: How many pages do you appear in?

Beard: The pictorial is eight pages and there are eight nude photos.

SI: Is there a swimming theme?

Beard: There are a lot of themes, but there’s a definitely water involved.

SI: Is being naked easy for you?

Beard: I think I’m a lot more comfortable being naked because my work attire is little swimming suits. You get used to not being covered very much. I’m more comfortable with a lot of skin showing than most people.

SI: How have people reacted to your decision to pose?

Beard: So far I feel like it’s been a lot more positive than negative, and I’m excited about that. People are always surprised when I tell them that I get a lot of nice compliments from women. They approach me all the time and say that they look up to me and that it’s really great to have an athletic, healthy body for people to look at.

SI: Have you ever autographed a naked picture of yourself?

Beard: (Laughs). I was thinking about that other day. Do I open the magazine? Do I sign the outside? How is that going to work? I have no idea what it is going to be like but I always sign on my stomach. That’s my area to sign.

SI: Why the stomach?

Beard: There’s a lot of space between the top and bottom.

Fascinating.

Lots more pics available in the magazine and elsewhere around the Web but they’re NSFW and would likely get us in trouble with our advertisers. I’m sure you can find them if you try hard enough!
