The Unexpected Reality Behind Hollywood's Steamiest Scenes

Aubrey Plaza and Robert DeNiro, "Dirty Grandpa"

Aubrey Plaza revealed she was so nervous to film raunchy scenes with Robert DeNiro, a much older man, so she found a way to break the ice. "I took an incredibly slutty picture of myself in character, put it in a book about Zen Buddhism, and slipped it under his trailer door. I didn't hear anything about it for a week, so I was terrified that I was going to get fired. Then, he casually came over to me a week later and was like, 'I got your book...' — and I had put the photo on page 4, so then he said—'I only got to page 4, but it was VERY good.'"
