Christina Ricci talks about some of the less glamorous moments of her long Hollywood career.
Ricci, 43, opened up about his time as a child star and how things have changed for young actors now during an appearance on “The View” on Wednesday.
Co-host Sara Haines asked the ‘Yellowjackets’ star, “How different do you think it is, for this cast, these younger versions, compared to when you were in this phase? “
“It’s really great. Us older women talk about it all the time. It’s amazing that they don’t necessarily have to go through the things that we had to go through. They’re able to say, ‘ I don’t want to do this sex scene,” “I’m not going to be naked,” Ricci said.
She continued, “They can set themselves limits that we were never allowed to do. Someone threatened to sue me once because I didn’t want to do that sex scene a certain way. It’s really changed and it’s great to see.
Ricci previously mentioned the lawsuit last June in an Actors on Actors chat with Sydney Sweeney for Variety.
“I remember once in a movie saying I wasn’t comfortable with something and they threatened to sue me if I didn’t. That would never happen now,” Ricci said. in conversation.
Sweeney, 25, replied, “What? Oh my god, I’m so sorry.
“It was good. I didn’t do it anyway. And they didn’t sue me,” Ricci explained.
Ricci made her film debut when she was just nine years old and first made a name for herself playing the role of Wednesday Addams in “The Addams Family.” She continued to act in projects as a young actress such as “Casper”, “Now and Then” and “Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain”.
Currently, Ricci plays the older version of Misty, one of the plane crash survivors in “Yellowjackets,” while Sammi Hanratty plays the character’s teenage role.
Season 2 of “Yellowjackets” premieres March 24 on Showtime.
