Andy Bellin, who has helmed the upcoming biopic 'Lovelace' based on famous porn star Linda Lovelace, has revealed that he was made fun of in school because of his mother's nude pictures.

During an interview in Chicago, the director spoke about a Richard Avedon exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, which featured nude images of his mom Christina Bellin, that opened while he was in grade school, the New York Post reported.

Andy said that his classmates would torment him with comments like, 'Hey, I just saw your mom naked'.

In hindsight, the teasing gave him perspective while creating the biopic, Andy added.
