The actress stars opposite George Clooney in the upcoming Alfonso Cuaron 3D movie, which tells the story of two astronauts who get stuck in space, and is tipped to hit screens this October.

Despite being a seasoned pro, Sandra revealed she still baulked at the idea of having to appear on the big screen – and in 3D – sans her full face.

‘God help us all when my face comes rushing at you with no makeup on,’ the joked during an interview with USA Today.

‘I'm going to apologise now, but Alfonso, in a brilliant move, said, '”No makeup”. Our vain little heads are going to be some massive 17-foot image.

‘You are going to see details because it's shot on this digital film that shows everything. It's so scary.’

Luckily, there’ll be no need for the starlet to strip down during filming.

‘There are scenes where you say, 'This is where you have to let go and let God [take over]',’ she laughed. ‘And, thank God, there are no nude scenes.’
