She is one of Hollywood's most esteemed French actresses.

And Marion Cotillard not only illustrated her incredible acting skills but also her incredible physique as she took the lead role in French movie Les Fantômes d'Ismael, which translates to Ismael's Ghosts.

The 41-year-old looked incredible as she stripped off for co-star Mathieu Amalric, who famously starred in 2008's Quantum Of Solace, in the sizzling scene which follows a filmmaker whose life is overturned by the reemergence of an ex.

Oh my! Marion Cotillard not only illustrated her incredible acting skills but also her incredible physique as she took the lead role in French movie Les Fantômes d'Ismael, which translates to Ismael's Ghosts

Marion no doubt sent shockwaves in the movie as she left nothing to the imagination by boldly stripping down and leaving the entirety of her frame on show.

The movie premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May before the theatre release in Russia last month, in which it was met with mixed reviews.

Marion plays Carlotta Bloom, the ex-wife of Mathieu's character Ismaël Vuillard, who vanished mysteriously 20 years previously - leading to a decade of searching for her before he was forced to declare his beloved wife dead.

Upon the movie's release at Cannes, The Guardian awarded the film just two stars in its review - while claiming 'even Marion can't save this silly, self-indulgent ragbag'.

Aside from her nudity in Ismael's Ghosts, Marion also bravely starred in a naked scene in 2016's Allied, where she starred opposite Brad Pitt.

Speaking about the scene, she said: 'Let’s imagine you’re with your wife, in bed or anywhere, like here and then all those people are watching . . . cameras, like 50 people are watching. Do you still find it sexy? But it's a beautiful love scene'.

During filming, the esteemed acting duo were hit with rumours that they were conducting an extra-marital affair yet she dismissed the claims.

She said: 'I never take anything personally when it doesn't concern me. So, I didn't take it personally because I had nothing to do with those rumours or situation.'

Once again touching on their Allied nude scenes, she said: 'We rehearse and had a very determined choreography, and then it allows you freedom.

'When you know exactly what your body will do, then you can act and you can be free to give the emotions and give the feelings because you won’t think, ‘What am I going to do next? Am I going to go on top of him?’ It’s an awkward situation...

'We laughed because you need to get it out because this is so weird. And so you get this time of looking at each other and saying: "OK, this is so weird." And then we go into this and then I’m going on top of you and then we are going to kiss.'
