Child Actors Who Played Very Adult Roles As Kids

Dakota Fanning

Denzel Washington’s character sacrificed his own life to save the innocent and adorable Pita Ramos, played by Dakota Fanning, in 2004’s Man on Fire. Although she’s played serious roles in her previous movies, none of them caused the outrage surrounding 2007’s Hounddog. When word of Fanning’s rape scene leaked out ahead of the independent movie, many people were up in arms. Further shedding the stigma of being a child actress, Fanning lets it all hang out in this year’s Very Good Girls.
