Aubrey Plaza & Robert DeNiro, Dirty Grandpa

Plaza was so nervous to film steamy scenes with DeNiro, a significantly 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," said Plaza, "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.'"
