Lindsay Lohan The troubled actress is often in and out of courtrooms, so it is probably no surprise that she has been involved in more than one bar-room brawl.

Mark Wahlberg Boogie Nights , a film about life in the porn industry in the 1970s and early 1980s, would require some full frontal male nudity, one would expect. However, although Mark, who plays the well-endowed Dirk Diggler, does drop his pants, it isn’t until the end of the film. He also wore a prosthetic penis. Tom Hardy The actor prides himself on his authenticity, so Tom hasn’t shied away from appearing nude when a role demands it. His part in the film Bronson was that of a disturbed prisoner who develops an alter ego and spends decades in solitary confinement. The character is prone to tearing off his clothes when attacking inmates and guards, and Tom does not disappoint. Daniel Radcliffe After years of playing Harry…

I don’t care what Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) does on The Bold and the Beautiful. He is my favourite. He is strong, rich and sexy as hell and he can burn my building down any day.

Ridge is way worse than Bill, he always does something wrong and his time with Quinn is unforgivable.
