Madeline Zima of The Hand That Rocks Got Naked

Some former child stars choose to announce their move to more adult fare in a shocking way. Drew Barrymore posed nude in Playboy. Fred Savage played a babbling junkie in The Rules of Attraction.And Madeline Zima of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and The Nanny — she got naked and punched David Duchovny in the face.

Last year the 22-year-old actress sure made a huge splash with that brutally hilarious scene in the premiere episode of the Showtime hit Californication, and now says she can understand why it might be a tad shocking for her long-time fans, who have seen her on TV and in films since the age of 8.“I have the naked scene, it’s like ‘Oh it’s the little girl from The Hand That Rocks the Cradle or The Nanny and she’s f**king and punching on that show.”

Oh my, the language!And as for what fans can expect when the raunchy show returns for a second season in September, Madeline says,“More of the same… Midway through, there’s some really funny stuff that happens, which is outrageous even for Californication.”While she won’t divulge details Madeline did reveal that one episode in particular had the cast really excited. I bet.
