The Wackness is a movie as odd as its title, a twisted coming-of-age tale about a teenage marijuana dealer (Josh Peck) trying to earn money for his college tuition. He's got issues, which are being treated by an eccentric psychiatrist (Sir Ben Kingsley) who happily accepts payment in weed. One scene in the 2008 film features the Oscar-winning Gandhi star enthusiastically making out with a young woman he meets randomly, played by Mary-Kate Olsen of Full House fame.
In an interview with People, Kingsley insisted that his co-star was "completely in charge" while shooting that scene. Olsen shared even more info with People, revealing that they shot the scene at "three o'clock in the morning and so everyone was a bit delirious anyhow." Her 42-years-older co-star, she gushed, "was so professional about it and made me feel so comfortable. He said, 'Anything you don't feel comfortable about, let me know. You lead me.'"
Speaking with Access, Kingsley was asked whether he thought that the sequence, in which a 63-year-old dude makes out with an Olsen twin, would generate controversy. "I'm sure it will," he admitted.
