Robin Wright, 51, says she's totally game to pose topless, wear leather underwear: Watch!

At age 51, Robin Wright has never felt better.

The House of Cards actress appeared on Wednesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres show to exalt the virtues of getting older and a surprising little detail related to her upcoming action-adventure film, Wonder Woman.

"You look fantastic," the talk show host said, complimenting the actress on her latest photo spread for The Edit magazine, where she posed topless. "You're 51, right?"

"Seventy is the new 50," Robin said graciously. "Should we just promote that?"

Ellen continued by giving Robin kudos for getting into "great shape" to play an Amazonian warrior in Wonder Woman.

"We all did, all us 150 Amazons," said Robin of her castmates. In the film, she plays the general of the Amazonian army, and the aunt of Diana, princess of the Amazons a.k.a. Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot).

"I train her to become the fiercest warrior of all time."

Robin shared she had to learn martial arts and intensely choreographed fight sequences. And no, she didn't leave the film set unscathed.

"Did you get hurt?" asked Ellen.

"Oh yeah," said Robin emphatically. "I don't think I'll ever walk properly again … but you're an action figure, so come on."

"You are an action figure," said Ellen, pulling out Robin's Wonder Woman figurine.

"It's leather, everything is leather," Robin said of the toy's ensemble. "We all have leather underwear…"

Caught off guard, Ellen asked the giggling actress, "Let's back up...leather underwear?"



It's not a farfetched question, given the hard work she put in to wear her leather-clad costume in the actual movie. In her interview with The Edit, she shared the details of her total body transformation.

"We would do horse riding for an hour, then drive from the stable to the studio and do weight training for an hour -- heavy weights and short reps to build size quickly," she said. "We were trying to do 2-3,000 calories a day: raw oats in smoothies with avocado, whole milk and weight-gain powder, three times a day.”
