Bertinelli, who's been open about her struggles with weight loss and body positivity, has only continued to flaunt her confidence in recent months.
Last month, the sitcom actress opened up about how she made the "terrifying" decision to pose nude for the cover of her most recent memoir, Getting Naked.
"Here's the deal. It's like when I was on the phone with my editor and I was saying, ‘I think because I'm calling it Getting Naked, I need to actually be naked on the cover. So I wanna try and explore that,'" she said during a live Q&A event on April 18, per a news outlet. "And she's like, ‘Great!' And then once it was out of my mouth, I kinda had to do it.”
Valerie Bertinelli explained it was her idea to pose nude for her book cover.
Though she admitted she came into the nude photo shoot with fear, the experience proved to be enlightening.
“I'm one of those people that if I'm really afraid of something, I'm like, ‘Why? What are you so afraid of? What is it gonna hurt you? Just do it. Who the f--- cares?'" she told the audience. “So I finally just did it. I did it, I'm not gonna do it again [laughs]. But it was interesting to walk through that fear and get to the other side of it."
Valerie Bertinelli felt more confident in her recent nude photoshoot than when wearing a bikini in 2009.
Bertinelli admitted she felt more self-assured during the recent photo shoot than in 2009, when she took bikini-clad snaps right after losing 40 pounds.
“I was a good 20 pounds thinner and my body was definitely tighter but I think it felt better doing this,” Bertinelli told a news outlet. "I'm never going to do it again, but it was fun to try it once. I've got this weird quirk that if I'm afraid of something I'm going to walk right through it. And I did."
