Simonetta Stefanelli played Michael's wife Apollonia in the Godfather. She was 16 at the time of filming and Al Pacino was 31. She had a topless sex scene with him.

HOW ARE ALL THESE ADULTS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS CHILD ABUSE SHIT?!!!!!! Is there on one watching over child actors in Hollywood even a little bit?! JFC

I think it depends on the parents and the kid's fame. Kristen Stewart said they were very strict when she filmed a kiss or something with Dakota Fanning because Dakota was around 16.

Literally what the actual fuck, that is disgusting!!!

[ohmylol]

" Keira Knightley was 18 when Love Actually was filmed and she had two much older men in love with her."

Andrew Lincoln was 30, Chiwetel Ejiofor 26 and Keira Knightley 18, yikes, also it should have been that Andrew's character was in love with Chiwetel's character, way less creepy.

How people defend that movie period despite how gross and problematic the entire thing is.

[mila_s_garden]

I'm sure people who defend the character wouldn't like it if a friend of theirs said to their partner that said friend would love them forever

It still blows my mind how young Sasha Pieterse was she was in PLT.

I always knew Keira's and Emmy's ages because they're only a couple years older than me so I was always weirded out by them being paired with grown men. And even before Pirates (when Keira was 17 iirc), when Bend It Like Beckham was out, I remember some online magazine caption (maybe on AOL lol) for a movie still of her in a sports bra saying something like "the sexiest tomboy stringbean ever" like you just know it was an adult who wrote that and it's fucking gross.

Ugh.

There were comments like that about Blake Lively after the first Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie too.

I remember reading a review of Doctor Zhivago in I think either TV Guide or EW, and the writer mentioned seeing Keira Knightley naked as a highlight. She was 17 in that and I remember being so surprised that this was considered ok.

cameron and noel from shameless 👀

Yep. I like both actors but in what universe is casting 16 year old and a 26 year old as love interests ok? Not to mention the other grown ass men that were casts as love interests for Ian.
