Up-and-coming star Jessica Chastain appeared on Conan last night to promote her new movies The Help ( for which Jessica brags she supersized her sweater meat with a soy diet) and The Debt (where she gets nipply as a sexy secret agent).While on the couch, the redhead hottie shared a story about a special person in her life who always encourages her to be sexy. Her boyfriend? Nope. Her sister? Guess again. It's her grandma!

Turns out Nana Chastain doesn't stay home and knit- she's a motorcycle-riding, chain-smoking firebrand who thinks her granddaughter ought to play up her sexuality on screen:

Conan: Does [your grandma] want you to cover yourself up?

Jessica: No, no she wants the opposite! My grandma- she wants me to show, like, skin skin skin skin...She's always been like, "you need to be more sexual, Jessica."

You know, obeying your elders is a virtue...

So far Jessica Chastain has only followed her grandmama's skinstructions once, playing a stripper in Jolene (2008):
