19. Mila Kunis In Friends With Benefits
When Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis were cast together in Friends With Benefits, both were rising stars that were at the peak of their popularity. Kunis had been previously known for her role on That 70’s Show, and hadn’t yet shed the young teenage persona she created on screen. Timberlake had already gained a huge female following as the heartthrob breakout from NSync, but he was still earning his stripes as a film star. So, when the two were paired up in a romantic comedy, the biggest anticipation revolved around the sex scene. The steamy sex scene was definitely shocking in itself, since it was the biggest catalyst in shedding away the little girl image of America’s sweetheart, Jackie Burkhart. Yet the most shocking moments came after reports that Kunis actually fell asleep during some of the love scenes with Timberlake. Kunis addressed this rumor by saying, “Apparently, I closed my eyes for a solid 20 minutes. Nice little power nap. Next thing I know, I wake up at ‘CUT,’ and the scene is over.”
18. Dakota Johnson In 50 Shades Of Grey
As the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, Dakota Johnson started her life as one of the privileged few in Hollywood. Just as her mother stepped out on stage as Miss Golden Globe 1975, Johnson was presented on stage in 2006. This annual title has become similar to a debutante coming out for the first time, with the world holding them in a particular esteem. As the granddaughter of Tippi Hedren and daughter to Melanie Griffith, Dakota Johnson already seemed like American film royalty before she was even seen on screen. When Hollywood was in search of the actress to play Anastasia Steele in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey, there was a bit of controversy over Dakota Johnson in the role. Reports came out that Griffith was against her daughter playing in this highly sexual role, and there was even a heated exchange on the red carpet between mother and daughter about her refusal to watch the film. Yet no one could blame a mother for not wanting to watch their daughter being chained, whipped, and degraded onscreen – it was shocking enough for viewers who weren’t related to her.
