Michelle Pfeiffer The Hollywood Knights (1980)
Michelle Pfeiffer was just 21 years old when she appeared in the 1980 comedy The Hollywood Knights. 21 might seem pretty young to be featured in an R-rated movie, but Pfieffer actually played a high school student in the film.
The Hollywood Knight was Pfieffer’s first feature film and her character in the movie, Suzie Q, was Tony Danza’s character’s girlfriend. She would go on to star in bigger films such as Grease 2 and Batman Returns.
Ryan Gosling The Believer (2001)
Ryan Gosling has been in this industry for quite some time. If you search YouTube hard enough, you can find videos of a very young Ryan Gosling strutting his stuff onstage and appearing in The Mickey Mouse Club alongside a very young Justin Timberlake.
He starred in his first R-rated film in 2001. He played a morally conflicted Jewish Nazi in The Believer. The movie was extremely violent and Gosling’s character had to endure several beatings.
Jeff Goldblum Death Wish (1974)
Jeff Goldblum was made for R-rated movies. Yes, he can do more family-friendly films quite well, and he was iconic in Jurassic Park, but come on, The Fly is one of the best horror movies of all time.
