10 Actors Who Really Did It In Movies
4. The Brown Bunny – Vincent Gallo & Chloe Sevigny
Compared to some of the films on this list, The Brown Bunny is relatively tame. In fact, there’s only once instance of unsimulated sex – a now infamous oral sex scene – and it’s towards the end of the movie. Perhaps what made it more shocking was that its stars, indie darlings Vincent Gallo and Chloe Sevigny, were quite big names when the film was released in 2003.
But what seemed to offend reviewers more than its blow job scene was that the film wasn’t actually all that good. A press screening at Cannes prompted walkouts (it’s unclear if they made it as far as the money shot before leaving) and critic Roger Ebert proclaimed it “the worst movie in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.”
This sparked a war of words between Gallo, who also directed The Brown Bunny, and Ebert with the former calling the film critic "a fat pig with the physique of a slave trader" and Ebert responding in kind by reminding Gallo that his film still sucked (pun intended?) regardless of his weight.
The Gallo-Ebert drama was probably more interesting than the infamous fellatio, truth be told.
