Brooke Shields has admitted she was "naïve" for thinking the Calvin Klein adverts she did when she was 15 weren't "sexual".
The actress and model, 57, shot to fame in the film Pretty Baby in which she played a child prostitute when she was 12-years-old.
In 1980 Brooke became the face of the esteemed brand Calvin Klein where she starred in several provocative adverts.
The ads featured close-up shots of her body as well as sexual innuendos, with her most notable line: “You know what gets between me and my Calvin’s? Nothing.”
At the time the ads faced heaps of backlash but Brooke defended the move.
Reflecting on the campaign now in her new Hulu documentary, she admits she was "naïve" for ignoring the sexual nature of the ads.
“I jumped at the chance because it was acting,” she says in the documentary titled Pretty Baby.
“It was just an exercise in memorization, in literary reference — I had to be smart to do it."
“There was nothing in me that ever had the idea it was sexual,” she admitted of the ads, before adding, “That’s slightly naïve.”
In a recent appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Brooke explained how she had no idea what the sexual Calvin Klein innuendos meant.
“I was deemed inappropriate, and [the Calvin ad] was just pornography and how can I talk about something coming between me and my Calvin’s? Like the phrase — that was a phrase I used all the time about my dog... My horse.
"I was like, nothing comes between me and my dog or me and my mommy,” she said.
Brooke has also broken down in tears when she recalled working on the film Pretty Baby where she had to seductively kiss her 27-year-old co-star Keith Carradine.
The actress now finds it difficult to think about the incident and said she wouldn't have allowed the same thing to happen to her daughters - Rowan, 19, and Grier, 16.
She revealed how her mother Teri Shields, offered no help to her and it was left to Keith to try and reassure her that it was "all make-believe".
