After a decade spent making movies with titles like Anal Cuties, Penis Pixies and Prom Night Virgins, porn star James Deen was faced with the most difficult role of his career – acting opposite Lindsay Lohan in Paul Schrader’s The Canyons.

According to Deen, Lohan’s behaviour was classic Hollywood – she didn’t show up to rehearsals, she screamed at him on set and always wanted her own way. She even demanded that Deen, 5’7” in his socks, stand on apple boxes so she could wear high heels without towering over him.

Needless to say, her antics wouldn’t have been tolerated elsewhere. In fact, she was fired from The Canyons multiple times, but always came back. She was the biggest ‘name’ attached to the movie, and her fame (or infamy) allowed the picture to be released theatrically.
