The Buffy the Vampire Slayer babe reportedly wants go in the buff before she hits 30 so fans can see her before gravity starts to hit.
The 28-year-old is trying to ditch her teen idol image and apparently thinks she'll score better roles if she bares all on-screen.
"I am approaching 30 and I need a change," UK website femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
"The sort of roles I would like are not being offered, so this ... might just shock people into choosing me."
Gellar is just the latest star to confess her naked ambition.
Hollywood it-girl Scarlett Johansson had to be forced to keep her underwear on while filming action thriller The Island.
While many starlets may baulk at having to strip down, The Island director Michael Bay was shocked when Scarlett confronted him on set and insisted on going naked for the film.
"She's standing there and she says, 'I'm not wearing this cheap ... bra. I'm going naked,"' Bay said.
"I said, 'It's PG-13, you have to wear the bra."'
Meanwhile, Gellar fans may have to wait a while for her daring debut.
She is set to star in Southland Tales, the follow-up release for Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, with rumours she will play a porn star.
She has also just signed on for the lead in Alice, a psychological thriller with a modern spin on the Lewis Carroll classic Alice in Wonderland - a role unlikely to require too many revealing moments.
