10 Actors Who Thought They Were Absolutely Sh*t At Acting

10. Christina Ricci Is Embarrassed By Her Performance In Casper

Acting from a young age can be a rather complicated thing to live with as an actor matures and grows within the industry.

On one hand, getting to ply your trade from a young age alongside some of the strongest and most seasoned talent the business has to offer isn't the worst way to cut your teeth as a performer. But on the other, said learning of the ropes often goes down in front of a camera, meaning there's no escaping those earlier, sometimes embarrassing moments of trying to get to grips with the craft.

Look no further than Christina Ricci's assessment of her early work in 1995's Casper, with the star eventually noting on WTF with Marc Maron that she thought her 13 year-old self was "terrible" in the childhood treasure of a flick. Going further, when discussing the time she sat down with her own son to watch the child-friendly flick, Ricci couldn't help but analyse her work on a film she confessed to not trying as hard as she should have on:

"I remember just thinking like, 'Wow, that was not a good, no, not a believable line reading at all.' No commitment. Not a lot of commitment."

That being said, Ricci's apparent lack of effort in the project still couldn't stop Casper from pulling in nearly $300 million at the box office, so it wasn't all bad, eh?
