To land the role in the upcoming “Black Snake Moan,” actress Christina Ricci sent naughty photos of herself to the director.

To show director Craig Brewer that she could play the role of a promiscuous sexual abuse victim, she sent explicit photos of herself.

After her audition, the director was uncertain if she could “tap into the character’s carnal desires,” but I bet those photos did the trick.

“My agent started inundating Craig Brewer with photo shoots I had done that are pure sex shots!” she said, reports Hollywood.com.

Throughout the movie, which also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Justin Timberlake, Ricci, 26, is half naked while chained to a radiator. She even spent her breaks half naked in order to stay in character.

Ricci looked for inspiration from none other than the pop queens, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson.

“She has Britney Spears’ hair and Jessica Simpson’s inappropriate wardrobe. This is just a microcosmic example of the over-sexualization of young girls and children. Even though she’s not really a child, she looks like one,” said Ricci.
