Showbiz: A British actor, now 70 years old, has sued a leading American production company ‘Paramount’ for filming a nude scene in a movie as a child.
According to foreign media, actress Olivia Hussey and actor Leonard Whiting played the lead roles in the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, when the actress was 15 years old and the actor was 16 years old.
According to reports, the lawsuit claims that a bedroom scene in the film amounts to sexual exploitation and that the company also distributed indecent images of minors.
The lawsuit claims that the film’s director, Franco Zeffirelli, forced the actors to do the scene and told them that the film would fail if they didn’t.
According to reports, the suit states that the actors were initially told that there would be no immoral scenes in the film.
Meanwhile, the director of the film Franco Zeffirelli has died in 2019, while both the actors in the film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance.
