Glenn Close is “deeply offended and insulted” about the unauthorized use of her image in a series of raunchy videos shot by a senior US Naval officer on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

The Damages star and five-time Oscar nominee is seen in a string of films made by Captain Owen Honors of the USS Enterprise, one of America’s premier aircraft carriers. The video, which Honors claims he made to boost Navy officers’ morale, shows young women showering, overweight men in bikinis, and jokes about proctology exams, while Close is seen in a montage at the end of the clip wearing a Navy hat. Close, 63, appeared in a video clip after a “seemingly innocent request” made during a visit to the USS Enterprise nearly five years ago.
