(CNN) Don’t approach Bella Thorne with a racy picture of her as a teenager.
The 25-year-old actress told about an interaction she had with an autograph seeker at the Sundance Film Festival, who Thorne said was trying to get her to sign provocative photos of her.
“I don’t usually scold them, but they insulted me. It was this guy and he was pushing photos in front of me and I looked away for a second and I looked back and there was a photo of me from my GQ Magazine cover,” Dorn explained. “It’s super sexy and my butt is out and I’m in lingerie and I’m topless. I said I wouldn’t sign that and he took it away and then put it back in front of me. I said, ‘No, I’m not signing that.'”
Thorne said the man then gave her another sexy picture to sign.
“I didn’t like it. It was inappropriate,” she said. “There was some stuff from a candy campaign that I did when I was 16 and it was clear he wanted me to sign things that were considered sexy and even underage and I was like, ‘Give me something else.’”
She said the autograph seeker asked her, “Aren’t they all sexy?”
“No, enough is enough. But I understand they have to make money and everyone has a job, so I get that,” Thorne said. “It was just that I was under 18 and that’s inappropriate.”
Thorne, who received Pornhub’s 2019 Vision Award for directing her adult film Her & Him, is a former Disney child star who now says she would reconsider taking sexy photos as a teenager.
“You also can’t spend your time taking back those moments or moments where you were too sexy or thinking that being a woman is just this or that,” she told THR.
