10 Billie Piper Performances You Have To See

9. The Calcium Kid

OK, so the film itself is pretty crap, but the fact it was one of Billie's first major cinematic roles is a good enough excuse to grin and bear it. And believe us, you'll be doing a lot of grinning. Unfortunately, it's for all the wrong reasons. This 2004 "mockumentary" tells the story of milkman turned boxer Jimmy Connelly, as played by Orlando Bloom, who finds himself being pitted against a world champion after a series of bizarre events. 'Bizarre' being the operative word, there. Thankfully, Billie is on hand to add a sense of future stardom to the occasion as she takes on the role of Jimmy's love interest, Angel. Their on screen chemistry just wasn't sizzling enough to ensure any success at the box office, however, as the film received unanimously negative reviews and currently holds a rare rating of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, it's all worth it just to hear Billie say, "Can I have my knockers back, please?". You certainly won't be sorry.
