The most disgusting and unpleasant moments of filming, according to the actors (14 photos)
The film set is an unpredictable business. Today you are in a beautiful suit and with impeccable makeup, and tomorrow you have to do something that really makes you sick, but it is necessary according to the script. In general, no one is immune from any unpleasant moments on set.
1. Kristen Schaal farted on her Last Man on Earth co-star Will Forte while filming a shared sex scene.
Eating beans while filming is never a good idea, as actress Kristen Schaal can attest to. According to the script, her heroine, after a love scene, eats beans from a can while lying in bed with the main character. Gas formation is difficult to control. After some internal struggle, Schaal simply warned her co-worker, “I'm going to fart on you,” and did so. This holy man even tried to shield her in front of the film crew, but she bravely admitted to what she had done. Well, it's an everyday matter.
2. Emilia Clarke ate about 30 fake hearts in Game of Thrones
Remember Daenerys eating the “heart of a stallion” in the first season of Game of Thrones? The fake heart was made from congealed jam that "tasted like bleach and raw pasta." Overall, it wasn't particularly tasty. The actress said that she had to eat about 30 of these “hearts” in order to film the scene correctly. “Luckily they gave me a special bucket because I could throw up at any moment,” she admitted.
3. Angela Kinsey couldn’t forget the taste of Rainn Wilson’s kiss (the sitcom “The Office”)
The Office actress Angela Kinsey admitted that she didn't really enjoy kissing her on-screen boyfriend Rainn Wilson. She said the actor would usually eat something disgusting right before filming such a scene, and his eating habits made kissing "difficult."
“Rainn, damn it. Do you have to eat a tuna sandwich right before we have to kiss? Well, as much as possible!” she cursed, but it was all useless.
4. The actors of the series “The Boys” had to film inside a huge animatronic whale
In the second season of the superhero series The Boys, the creators abandoned the famous green screen and decided that the actors would film inside a 15-meter animatronic whale. Unfortunately, it was very hot outside at that moment, and even hotter inside the whale. There was no air conditioning, and the actors had to somehow survive this hot and sweaty day on the set. “Fake blood, of course, attracted insects,” they say. “There were several takes where we tried to stand up, but our bodies were literally stuck to the whale because this red, sweet substance dried out during the scene.”
5. Millie Bobby Brown cried when she saw Vecna in Stranger Things
In the fourth season of the series, the psychic serial killer Vecna commits several brutal murders. In each of these murders, the victim was lifted into the air, all of his limbs were broken, and then his eyes were inserted inside his skull. These are difficult scenes, and the image of Vena himself - a massive, noseless monster with deformed claws and "antennae" - is also very unpleasant and can be scary to look at. Even Millie Bobby Brown couldn't stand the sight of him calmly. “I walked up to her (as Vecna) and she started crying,” Jamie Campbell said. “She didn’t want to look at me, it was clear that she was very disgusted.”
6. The moment that made Lauren Cohan's insides turn upside down while filming The Walking Dead
The actress, who plays Maggie Greene in the post-apocalyptic series The Walking Dead, almost quit filming after she vomited on set. She said that killing all those terrible zombies was not as sickening as filming the scene in which Maggie performs a Caesarean section on Laurie Grimes, delivering Judith into the world. “I remember throwing up after filming that scene, I was so uncomfortable.”
7. Matt LeBlanc accidentally ate food spat out by another actor on Friends.
While filming the Friends episode "The One Where Ross Got High", Matt LeBlanc accidentally ate some of David Schwimmer's regurgitated bananas and whipped cream. “He had too much on his plate. He started eating it all and laughing, and the filming stopped. He spits it all back onto his plate. At this moment I am sitting next to him and looking in the other direction. I didn't see him spit the food back onto his plate. Then I took his plate... and transferred some of the contents onto mine for further filming,” Matt later said. Not a single person warned poor Matt about what happened.
8. Hannibal's bloody dishes
If you've watched the TV series Hannibal, you know that Dr. Hannibal Lecter is not only a cannibal, but also a master of the culinary arts. Therefore, the creepy dishes shown in the series had to look perfect. Celebrity chef José Andrés and food stylist Janice Poon assisted in the process of recreating individual parts of the human body during the filming. "I would often get an email late at night from Bryan Fuller, the showrunner: 'We need a prescription for a leg. What can we do with this leg?' - Janice said. - It doesn't always have to be meat... Sometimes the eggplant can be similar to what you're looking for, like a wrist or something. Then you need to know the bone structure.” A food stylist knows he's done his job well when he's told, “Oh, that looks disgusting. You can also try?".
9. The Walking Dead Well Scene Made Iron Singleton Feel Nauseous
One zombie from The Walking Dead season two was so disgusting that it made Iron Singleton, aka T. Dog, gag on set.
The zombie fell into Hershel Greene's (Scott Wilson) well and was split in half when the group tried to pull it out, spilling its insides into drinking water for apocalypse survivors.
“That thing was so vile,” Singleton admitted during an interview. “I was gagging because we were on a dirty field and there was a lot of dust kicking up after every take, and then that mixed with the fact that this zombie was so disgusting.”
10. Pedro Pascal couldn't overcome his aversion to nutcrackers while filming The Last of Us.
The Last of Us is set in the aftermath of a worldwide fungal pandemic in which the parasitic Cordyceps virus infects much of the population and turns them into mutated monsters. As a result of the infection, people become disfigured, and the longer you are infected, the worse you look. This terrible transition is personified by the “clickers” - infected in the third stage, whose skull is split in the middle, and they become blind, strong and cruel. These creatures looked so disgusting that the leading actor Pedro Pascal could not overcome his disgust. “Even I was disgusted, although I usually like scary things,” he admitted. “But the nutcrackers were too much for me... They look like a monstrous floral nightmare.”
11. Alison Bry wet herself on the set of Mad Men
Alison Bry, who played Trudy on Mad Men, called the drama series her first real job. She had a lot of experience, but it wasn't always pleasant. During the first season, costume designers gave her underwear that looked like "biker shorts that came down to her ribs" with a "small hole" for her urination. She didn't know that she couldn't wear underwear under those shaper shorts, and she wet it in her haste. There was no time to change her underwear; she had to run straight back to the set and continue working.
12. Sydney Sweeney's realistic vomiting scene in Euphoria
Who can forget Cassie vomiting in the hot tub in the second season of the hit HBO series? To make the vomiting effect realistic, they had to do the following: “They had to get a pump, and they had a tube that they just taped up and hid on my body. Then they CGIed it onto my neck and then they put a horse bit in my mouth. So during this scene they filled my mouth with vomit. And then I opened my mouth and it just started pouring out of my mouth.” The actress described the not-so-subtle scene as the most disgusting thing she had ever experienced.
13. Ed Helms ate too much while filming a hot dog eating contest on The Office.
In the episode "Beach Games" of The Office, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) organized a series of absurd challenges and competitions to choose his successor as regional manager. One of them was a hot dog eating contest. Ed Helms, who played newspaper salesman Andy Bernard, found the act of repeatedly chewing and spitting out junk food unbearably disgusting. Angela Kinsey, who played the role of the strict and religious Angela Martin, said that these scenes constantly caused Helms to gag. The sight of a communal bucket with chewed pieces of hot dog only disgusted him even more. “It was a tough scene for everyone,” Kinsey says. “I was very lucky because I said, 'My character is a vegetarian. She won't eat them.' But poor Brian and Ed and Leslie. All these guys were shoving hot dogs in their faces.”
