Because I was 17, for legal reasons my mother had to be on the set. It was real awkward but it worked out OK because when I watched the movie with her the sex scene wasn&#8217;t awkward because she&#8217;d been right there when it happened. Afterwards we didn&#8217;t talk about it; we still don&#8217;t speak about that moment. Now, I&#8217;m 19 so my mom doesn&#8217;t have to be in the room when I have sex, thank God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition, another major scene where underage actors were a concern was the flashback to when Jonah Hill&#8217;s character Seth was embarrassed by his classmates discovering that he constantly draws pictures of penises.<\/p>\n<p>First, we see Seth as a kid (played by Casey Margolis) drawing the pictures&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legendsrevealed.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/penis1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But when we see the actual pictures, we never actually see young Seth with the actual penis drawings, and that is because the hands drawing the pictures are actually those of a young (but over 18) woman&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legendsrevealed.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/penis2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Similarly, in a later scene when Seth is discovered, the character of young Becky (played by Laura Marano) is shown looking at the pictures&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legendsrevealed.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/penis4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>while an older actress actually holds the actual penis drawings (Marano&#8217;s paper is blank).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legendsrevealed.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/penis3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Heck, you can obviously tell they&#8217;re not even holding the pictures in the same fashion!<\/p>\n<p>Man, no wonder W.C.
