Susan Sarandon encouraged her daughter to play a stripper.

The Oscar-winning actress told 24-year-old Eva Amurri to take on the role in US TV show ‘Californication’ – which involves her baring her body – as she had the figure to do it.

 

Eva said: “I wasnt sure but mom reassured me and told me to do it while I was young.”

 

However, Eva admits her brothers – Jack, 20, and 17-year-old Miles – werent so impressed.

 

She said: "Hopefully, one day my brothers will forgive me."

 

Susan recently defended her daughters appearance in the show and insisted she enjoyed every moment of Evas performance as David Duchovnys character Hank Moodys lover.

 

The 63-year-old actress said: "I've seen bits and pieces of some of the nudity and she looks beautiful - if you have it, why not?"

 

"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."
