20 Cringeworthy Roles Played By Movie Stars Before They Were Famous
They Wish We'd Just Forget About These
When you're an up-and-coming actor, you don't get to be too choosy with your roles. And while some roles may fit the star well, others leave the audience cringing. All of these Hollywood movie stars had to learn this lesson the hard way.
Michelle Pfeiffer, for example, burst onto the scene in 1983's Scarface, and it's a good thing too, because just the year before, she thought she'd had her "big break"—but it turned out to be a total disaster.
How many of these movies have you seen?
Actress: Nicole Kidman

Role: Judy in BMX Bandits

Actor: Jason Statham
Jason Statham might be the toughest action star working today. But you'd never guess it based on his first on-screen appearance.

Role: Oiled Background Dancer
Before he was an actor, Jason Statham was a model, and that work eventually found him painted silver wearing a speedo in the background of the music video for "Comin' On" by the Shamen.
