Ricci breasts fondled by chimp

Christina Ricci has revealed that a monkey attached itself to her left breast while filming her new movie Speed Racer.

The actress, who has a fear of monkeys, was groped by a chimpanzee called Chim Chim on the first day of shooting.

She is quoted as saying: "I'm afraid of monkeys, but I had decided not to be afraid of Chim Chim because no one else is. I thought, 'Everyone else thinks he's awesome so just be cool.'

"It's the first day of shooting and I have this kitchen scene where I'm sitting down and Chim Chim is sitting right next to me.

"Of course, it freaks out during the take and grabs my left breast and will not let go, and he's so strong.

"Finally they got him off me but my fear is completely validated and I did not go near him for the rest of the shoot.

"Monkeys are crazy and you never know what they'll grab onto - I don't like unpredictable animals."
