Iranian actress banned from returning home after posing nude

An actress who has starred with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe has been banished from her home country of Iran - because she posed nude in a French news magazine.

Golshifteh Farahani says she has been contacted by the Iranian government, telling her that she is no longer welcome in the country and advising her not to return home.

The offending photo - a black-and-white 'art shot' featuring the 28-year-old Farahani posing against a black backdrop with her hands strategically placed over her breasts - was first published in Madame Le Figaro.

The image was then posted on her Facebook page, drawing visitors from around the world - including Iran and the Middle East.

While many criticised her 'incedency', others praised her for 'the courage to remove a taboo among the women in Muslim countries'.

Iran's anger at the image is not just because of Farahani's nudity - she has also made it known that her decision to pose is in protest against restrictive Islamic codes.
