Susan Sarandon has defended her daughter – Eva Amurri – for baring her body for her stripper role in Californication.

The Oscar-winning actress’ 24-year-old daughter Eva Amurri plays a student by day and stripper by night in the show, which stars David Duchovny.

Susan told The New York Daily News: “I’ve already seen little bits and pieces of some of the nudity and she looks beautiful – if you have it, why not?”

She added: “She plays a woman who, as far as I can tell, is really in charge of her life and is not a victim. So it sounded to me like it would be a blast.

“I think if she were playing something that was going to be really hard for her psychologically or damaging, I’d be more concerned, but she had a really good time with the sex thing.”
