10 More Movie Storylines Actors REFUSED To Do

9. The Gimp Scene Was Too Much for Emma Watson - This Is the End

This Is the End, which was co-directed and co-written by Seth Rogen, centres around a bunch of celebs partying the night away before being suddenly interrupted by the apocalypse. (Hate when that happens.) 

With demons around every corner and the Earth itself splitting open, it isn't long before people begin to snap. Pissed off he didn't get into Heaven, Danny McBride turns to cannibalism and makes Channing Tatum his sex slave.

Although Emma Watson appears throughout, she refused to take part in the scene with McBride and Tatum, even though she initially agreed to it. Watson allegedly walked off after Tatum improvised a breakdance in front of her while wearing a gimp suit and a thong. 

Rogen tweeted that he took no issue with Watson's decision whatsoever since it wasn't what the Harry Potter star signed up for. Rogen mentioned in a GQ interview that "The narrative that she was in some way uncool or unprofessional is complete bulls*&t". 

Emma Watson wasn't a bad sport about the experience, since she returned to set the very next day and helped promote the film.
