The two leads from the 1968 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet are suing Paramount for child abuse over a nude scene in the film.

According to Variety, Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting, who were teenagers when making the Oscar-winning film, filed a lawsuit on 30 December accusing the studio of sexual exploitation.

Romeo and Juliet was a box office hit at the time and received four Oscar nominations, winning two for best cinematography and best costume design.

Paramount has yet to respond to the claim.
