A former White House usher has revealed of the time when he walked in on naked President Ronald Reagan.

Usher Skip Allen recalled the day when he went to deliver a top-secret document, designated "for the President's eyes only," to Reagan, the ABC reported.

Allen said that when he knocked on the door and Reagan said "Come in," adding "and there he was getting out of the shower. And he was just having a sheet of water on."

Later that night, Allen had another encounter where Reagan was showing too much skin. Allen went up to Reagan's bedroom to deliver something to the president and after Nancy told Allen to come on in, Reagan emerged from his dressing room in his underwear.

He added that the first lady told Reagan he could have at least put on a robe, to which Reagan looked at her and said, "oh, it's alright, he's already seen me naked once today, we're old friends.
