Actress Kate Hudson says she prefers being naked as she grew up in a family which was comfortable with being nude.

The 36-year-old, whose book “Pretty Happy” is about ways to love yourself, inherited her body confidence from her mother Goldie Hawn because the Oscar-winning star always wore "tiny numbers" around their home, reports eonline.com.

“My family's always been a comfortably naked family,” Hudson told Conan O'Brien on his talk show.

"I'd much prefer being naked than clothed, I just find clothes restricting. When I get home I just want to be naked. When you're a dancer, you're very comfortable with your body...and my mom was a dancer," she said.

Further sharing secrets about her mother, Hudson said: "Mom would come flying down the stairs. We'd have all of our friends there and she'd be in like little tiny numbers. I'd be like cover yourself but as you get older you're like let's just take it all off.

“I'm gonna actually just take a good look at what's in front of me in the mirror and get comfortable with it because it's mine and accept it, that's the family that I come from."
