“From Innocence to Edginess: Discover the Surprising Debuts of Hollywood Icons in Their First R-Rated Roles!”
Emily Blunt My Summer of Love (2004)
Emily Blunt also started her movie career with an R-rated film. In 2004, she starred in My Summer of Love, a film about two girls falling in love over the course of one summer. Blunt was just 20 years old when filming started. The film wasn’t very widely seen, but people who did see the movie appreciated Emily’s honest performance.
Blunt would later go on to act in other movies, both R-rated and PG. Recently, she starred opposite her husband, John Krasinski, in The Quiet Place.
Kevin Bacon Animal House (1978)
Kevin Bacon didn’t even give PG movies a chance before he starred in his first R-rated movie, which was also his first ever movie.
In 1978, the year it came out, Animal House, starring the late great John Belushi, was considered one of the greatest comedies ever made. I’m not sure it’s politically correct enough to ever be made today, even for a raunchy comedy, but at the time, people absolutely loved it.
Daniel Day-Lewis My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)
Name the greatest actor of all time. Go ahead, I dare you. If you didn’t say Daniel Day-Lewis, you probably didn’t see this photo of Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel Day-Lewis is a lot of things, but overrated is not one of them. This man is very appropriately rated.
Daniel Day-Lewis started his acting career with PG films like Gandhi and The Bounty. His first R-Rated movie was also his first independent film. My Beautiful Laundrette became a cult classic.
