London, June 15 (IANS) Pop singer Shakira is not ready to pose naked for videos or photo shoots.

‘I don’t want to and I don’t have to. I couldn’t strip naked,’ contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

The 33-year-old reveals her reluctance to strip off is grounded in her because of her Catholic upbringing in Colombia.

‘I was brought up in a very Catholic environment. My father has Lebanese roots. I grew up on the North coast of Colombia where life is quite traditional. There are things I’m not courageous enough to do.’

But the singer, who appeared in a skin-tight body suit and danced in a cage in her video ‘She-Wolf’, says there are chances that she might change her mind after some time.

‘Maybe when I’m 40 I will change my mind (about stripping). Around 10 years ago I couldn’t imagine putting on a skin-tight body suit and high heels and dancing in a golden cage, hanging upside down from the bars. Today, I’m saying I’ll never show myself naked. Our opinions change all the time,’ she said.
