Ashley Benson spent much of the spring parading around Florida in a bikini with Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Rachel Korine on the set of Spring Breakers. This might sound like the best job in the world, but really, the Pretty Little Liars star said it was quite nerve-wracking!

She told JustJared about spending all that time so scantily clad: "Yeah, I was super nervous before I got the movie and I was worried about it. I talked to [director] Harmony about it and he was like, “There’s no need to stress out. You guys are college students in the film and nobody has the perfect body!” Harmony really wanted us to look like we drank all the time and we partied, cuz that’s what they did, and he didn’t want us to have perfect bodies."

It helped to have a great group of co-stars, however. Benson added: "When I got to set I was a
lot more comfortable. I mean any time you’re in a bathing suit you’re always self-conscious, because people comment and you know, but Harmony made us all feel really comfortable. What was also great was that me, Vanessa, Selena, and Rachel were all really comfortable with each other and nobody was commenting or trying to get super skinny. It was just a good group of girls to be around. We were all like, “We don’t care if we’re not perfect, and we’re not perfect. It was nice."

Benson, 22, said that camaraderie brought her and her co-stars closer together. "In the movie it seems like we’ve known each other for years and we all got a long so well and it was like the funniest thing I’ve ever filmed. I mean, how close we got, it was so cool," she said.

Spring Breakers is due out in the spring of 2013.
