Hilary Duff Strays Away From Her Good Girl Image

Lock up your kids! Hilary Duff’s upcoming role in War Inc., has parents and fans of the young actress pondering just what happened to the squeaky-clean star.

Here’s a clue: She grew up!

A scene from the film where Hil puts a live scorpion down her pants, is a part of the reason why parents are in a uproar over the issue. I don’t think it’s a big deal, but then again, I don’t have kids…none that I know of anyway.

Months ago, the 20-year-old star told OK!’s Red Carpet Confidential blogger Valerie Nome that she “wouldn’t disappoint her young fans by crossing over to the dark side. She even admitted turning down a role playing a pregnant girl with a drug problem because it was too edgy.”

Hil also said,

I just feel like there’s so much time for that. I think there are actresses who want to get so far away from what people thought they were like or that they can do. It’s just shocking to me because you’re still so young. When I’m 25 or 30, I want to have some place to go and something I’ve never done. Now I think I can start to challenge myself and do different things that aren’t for such a young audience, but I think it’s important not to completely abandon them.
