00:00Acting is a profession that requires a lot of versatility and willingness to test boundaries.
00:05In the act of immersion, sometimes the script calls for things that the actor himself would
00:09never even consider, yet they have to play it naturally.
00:12And sometimes that results in a complete nightmare for everyone involved.
00:16Here are some movie scenes that actors regret doing.
00:20A Titanic drawing
00:22Maybe the most memorable scene in Titanic is the one where Kate Winslet's Rose character
00:27asks Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack to,
00:30"...draw me like one of your French girls."
00:32It's a passionate moment showing her character overcoming the disapproval of her fiancé
00:36and mother to claim her own agency and embrace the man she's fallen in love with.
00:41"...as a paying customer, I expect to get what I want."
00:46But now, obsessive fans try to get Winslet to sign pictures of herself naked, and she'd
00:51love for that to stop.
00:53She told Yahoo!
00:54News,
00:55"...I don't sign that picture.
00:56It feels very uncomfortable.
00:58Why would you do that?"
01:00Why indeed?
01:02Give that man a shirt
01:04Taylor Lautner played the werewolf character Jacob in the Twilight series, and his transformations
01:08usually left him shirtless, if not completely naked.
01:12Fans loved it, but Lautner worries now that his pecs might overshadow his acting.
01:16He told Ace Showbiz,
01:18"...if I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess
01:22that's not very realistic.
01:24I certainly won't be asking to do it, though."
01:27A change of heart
01:29In the 2013 action comedy Kick-Ass 2, Jim Carrey plays a superhero called Colonel Stars
01:35and Stripes who's gruesomely murdered by supervillains.
01:38A few months after the film was released, Carrey publicly condemned the level of violence
01:42in the film after experiencing a change of heart in the aftermath of the tragic Sandy
01:47Hook massacre, which happened shortly after he'd wrapped up filming his scenes.
01:51"...I did Kick-Ass 2 a month before Sandy Hook, and now in all good conscience I cannot
01:56support that level of violence.
01:58I am not ashamed of it, but recent events have caused a change in my heart."
02:03While that's a respectable stand to take, the bosses at Universal Pictures probably
02:07wished Carrey had figured that out before taking the role.
02:11Icky, drunk sex
02:13Passengers is a science fiction adventure starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt.
02:18Despite the star power of its cast, it didn't do very well at the box office, partly due
02:22to backlash against a crucial plot point that involves a startling disregard for the consent
02:27and personal autonomy of one of the characters.
02:30Which wasn't helped by Jennifer Lawrence admitting that she spent the sex scenes too drunk to
02:34remember doing them.
02:36She told CNN she had jitters about the shoot because it was going to be her first time
02:40filming a sex scene and also felt guilty about doing so with Pratt, who's married.
02:44Quote,
02:45"'I got really drunk, but that led to more anxiety because I was like, what have I done?
02:49I don't know.
02:50And it was gonna be my first time kissing a married man, and the guilt is the worst
02:54feeling in your stomach.'"
02:55End quote.
02:57That leg cross
02:58In Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone plays writer-slash-murderer Catherine Trammell, who uses her wits and
03:04sex appeal to easily manipulate the men around her.
03:07Especially in the iconic scene where, by simply uncrossing her legs and, ahem, flashing the
03:13cash during a police interrogation, she completely reverses the balance of power.
03:18"'It's nice.'"
03:29Which is sort of ironic, because according to Stone, the scene itself turns out to be
03:32born of manipulation and a violation of consent.
03:36Stone claims she was asked by director Paul Verhoeven to remove her underwear because
03:40the flashes of white were messing up the shot.
03:42She was assured there would be no nudity visible on camera and didn't discover she
03:46had been tricked until she saw the finished film, in a room full of other people.
03:50She responded by slapping Verhoeven, who has publicly denied Stone's claims, saying,
03:55"'It's a lie.'"
03:56There's a wall there
03:58In The Phantom Menace, Terrence Stamp plays Chancellor Malorum, who's ushered out in favor
04:02of the secret Sith Lord Palpatine thanks to a vote of no confidence from Queen Amidala,
04:07played by Natalie Portman.
04:09It's about as exciting to watch as an actual Senate hearing, but it's important to the
04:12overall plot, or what passes for one.
04:15Stamp signed on to the movie for the sole purpose of getting to act with Natalie Portman.
04:19However, when he actually arrived on set, Portman was nowhere in sight, and Stamp was
04:23directed to aim his dialogue towards a piece of paper on the wall instead.
04:27He told IndieWire,
04:28"'It was just pretty boring.'"
04:30Which, not coincidentally, also sums up the entire movie.
