During her 20-year film career, actress Christina Ricci has had to steam up the set with some of Hollywood’s hottest stars: Johnny Depp, Justin Timberlake, and even Charlize Theron.  But she wasn’t expecting any hanky panky on the set of the family film “Speed Racer.”

On the very first day, Ricci’s animal co-star in the scene copped a major feel.  “The chimp jumped over and grabbed my left breast and hung off me,” Ricci said, slightly embarrassed.  “It happened in the middle of the first take on the first day of shooting — it was painful.”  But in an attempt to “not upset the chimp any further,” Ricci said she stood still and cried meekly, “help, help, ouch” until she got the attention of the crew, who were all facing the other way.  “They thought it was hilarious and constantly reminded me the whole time we filmed,” she added.
