When Sharon Stone spoke about the famous scene from Basic Instinct, the actress admitted that it changed her life. During the filming of the movie, she did not know what the leg-crossing scene would look like until the very moment of filming. According to Stone, director Paul Verhoeven convinced her to take off her underwear to show her character’s dominance over the men, while ensuring that the audience would not be able to see anything inappropriate. After the premiere, the actress was shocked, and reportedly even slapped Verhoeven
Taylor Lautner – “The Twilight Saga”
Taylor had ample opportunity to show off his muscles in the film, transforming into a giant wolf. The actor was not happy with the situation, however, as he later emphasized in interviews, claiming that if it were up to him, he would never take his shirt off the set. Lautner wanted viewers to focus on his acting, not his physique.
Kate Winslet – Titanic
The memorable scene of Jack sketching a nude portrait of Rose proved difficult for Kate Winslet, as she was embarrassed by her body and posing in front of her friend, Leonardo DiCaprio. In later years, she avoided discussing the scene and refused to let fans sign photos of Rose nude
Jim Carrey – Kick-Ass 2
In 2013, Jim Carrey took on a rather unusual role for him – the superhero Colonel Stars and Stripes in the film Kick-Ass 2. The actor later admitted that he felt very uncomfortable playing brutal scenes involving his character. He stated that such a dose of violence is inappropriate, even in an action film.
Natalie Portman – Black Swan
Although Natalie won an Oscar for her leading role in Darren Aronofsky’s film, one scene in the film is an unpleasant memory for her. It’s a sex scene between her and Mila Kunis. It was incredibly awkward, as the actresses are close friends in real life. Portman initially wanted a stunt double to replace her, but she ended up doing it herself.
Kurt Russell – The Hateful Eight
There’s a scene in Quentin Tarantino’s film where Jennifer Jason Leigh’s character is playing an old ballad on a guitar, and a bounty hunter played by Kurt Russell rips the instrument out of her hands and smashes it to pieces. The actor had no idea that the guitar wasn’t a prop, but an authentic instrument – an antique worth $40,000, to be exact.
Ellen Page – Juno
It was this film that turned out to be Page’s ticket to fame. However, there is one scene that the actress is ashamed of to this day. During a conversation about a potential name for her child, we hear a homophobic joke from Page’s character. When her partner suggests the name “Madison,” she says it sounds “a little too gay.”
