15 famous actors and very awkward situations on the set (16 photos)

It's nice to know that even the "rich and famous" can sometimes seriously screw up at work. After all, they are people just like everyone else.





1. Alison Brie wet herself on the set of Mad Men and had to film the scene soaking wet.



To be fair, the actress got to the toilet on time. But she was ruined by the many layers of 1960s clothing that were difficult to remove. She admitted that she managed to lift her skirts and move her belt to the side, but her underwear remained on her. And then she tried to dry her wet clothes with toilet paper, because they were already shouting at her that it was time to return to the set! She returned there without changing her clothes and filmed the scene. It was wet and uncomfortable, but there was nowhere to go...

2. Hugh Jackman also wet himself - but on a theater stage. He played Gaston in Beauty and the Beast





Since the awkward moment happened on stage and not on set, that makes it even more awkward, right? It happened in the 90s, Jackman played Gaston in the Australian production of Beauty and the Beast. The actor himself spoke about this episode in an interview with Vogue magazine: “I wet myself on stage. This is an idiotic story. The doctor told me that I was dehydrated, and following his instructions, I drank so much water that at one point I was faced with the choice of getting my red tights wet or stopping singing. I couldn’t afford to interrupt the performance and leave the stage.”

3. Anne Hathaway got naked on the set of Love and Other Drugs before being told, "Hey Anne, you don't have to take your clothes off right now... we're just rehearsing a scene."



Hathaway can be forgiven for her awkward mistake because the film starring Jake Gyllenhaal was very emotional. However, unexpected nudity at work is a facepalm-worthy moment. It was the scene where Hathaway takes off her cloak and is naked underneath. “I thought we were filming. But it turned out that we were just rehearsing, and I wasted my clothes in front of a lot of people. But listen, I just did my job,” the actress later recalled.

4. Kristen Schaal farted on her Last Man on Earth co-star Will Forte while filming a shared sex scene.



“I was so nervous because I had never done a sex scene before... The problem was that we shot the scenes out of order, and when you watch the episode, after they have sex, my character Carol wants to eat and satiates her hunger beans,” said the actress. - We did several takes and I ate these beans for real, without cheating! And so I ate my fill of beans, and then we filmed a sex scene where you need to lie on your stomach... In general, at some point I already understood that the beans were doing their job and what it would lead to. And she told Will that I was going to fart on him, and I did it. But in general, I want to call the union and say: “You can’t stuff a woman with beans, put her on her stomach and make her scream!”

5. 9-year-old Josh Hutcherson also couldn't help but fart in Tom Hanks' face while filming a scene in The Polar Express.



The Hunger Games star spoke in an interview with TV host James Corden about the most awkward moment in his acting life. He was 9 years old at the time and filming The Polar Express: “I was filming this scene with Tom Hanks, who is like the father of America, and I was like sitting under him... and I farted. And he suddenly jumped up and started shouting: “What is this? My God, this child, what the hell!”... My first big film. Tom Hanks. And I just farted in his face!”

Luckily, it didn't ruin Josh's acting career and he can now look back on it as just a funny moment from the past. In the end, he learned his lesson and did not allow himself such awkwardness with Jennifer Lawrence.

6. Christopher Mintz-Plasse had to film an intimate scene in Superbad with his mother present.



Superbad was Christopher Mintz-Plasse's (who played McLovin) first film, so there were likely a lot of tense moments on set. But one of them is undoubtedlybut what stands out is that he had to film a sex scene in front of his mother.

Mintz-Plasse later recalled it this way: “I was very young and thought it was cool to do a sex scene. After all, at that time I had never even kissed a girl. But my excitement quickly faded when I was told that I was underage and my mother would be present to film the scene. I felt very embarrassed." Of course!

7. Sadie Sink also had her first kiss in her life on the set of Stranger Things... with her mom watching



Having your first kiss on set with your mom present isn't a good thing, but the Stranger Things crew also kept the kiss between Sink and her co-star Caleb McLaughlin a secret until the day of filming. McLaughlin later said that the other kids on set teased him, like, “Oooh! You're going to kiss her!" However, a little teasing was nothing compared to Sink's situation since her mom was on set watching the whole thing.

8. Henry Cavill got an "unacceptable" erection on the set of The Tudors during a sex scene



“It was very awkward,” the actor said. “The girl was supposed to be on top of me, she had amazing breasts, and I didn’t move my... things into a harmless position.” She was literally rubbing herself against me and, hmm, it got a little hard. After that I had to apologize. It's not great when you're working in a professional acting environment and someone gets hard on you, is it? No, not acceptable."

9. Gucci Mane fell asleep while filming his big sex scene in Spring Breakers.



According to Maine's autobiography, the rapper acted out a scene where his character had sex with one woman while another sucked on his toes... and he fell asleep! Imagine being one of the actors performing a sex scene with him... talk about humility!

“I couldn’t keep my eyes open,” Maine wrote in his autobiography. “I was passed out, snoring... Harmony (Korine, director) had to wake me up every now and then for takes.”

As it turns out, Maine had an excuse. He had just performed a concert before an all-night shoot that lasted until the early hours of the morning.

10. Michael Sheen vomited after seeing Lizzy Caplan naked for the first time on the set of Masters of Sex.



Kaplan was nervous about filming the scene as it was the first time she had to strip in front of her co-star. Kaplan was supposed to remove her bra, take Sheen's hand and place it on her breast. This part of the shoot, as nerve-wracking as it was, went well. And then the real awkwardness happens: Shin immediately runs to the trash can and vomits. It later turned out that the actor had food poisoning. But at that moment it looked like he was throwing up because of Lizzie. “I thought it was direct cause and effect. All my self-confidence disappeared, I realized that I was a monster, and anyone who touched me would immediately start vomiting,” admits the actress.

11. Robert Pattinson couldn't stop sweating on Julianne Moore while filming a sex scene



Robert Pattinson had a particularly awkward situation with Julianne Moore while filming 2014's Maps to the Stars. Pattinson and Moore saw each other for the first time, they had just been introduced - and then they had to film a sex scene. Upon realizing this, Pattinson began to sweat profusely: “I was sweating like crazy, I was literally trying to catch the beads of sweat so they wouldn’t hit her on the back. After that she asked: “Are you having a panic attack?” It was so awkward."

12. Martin Short was getting waxed in the dressing room and the whole time his penis was visible from under his boxer shorts



The plot of the 1994 comedy Clifford sounds pretty corny - a 10-year-old boy goes to stay with his uncle while his parents are on vacation - until you find out that the boy was played (no CGI or anything) by the time he was already 44 years old, comedian Martin Short!

To make Short look more like a child, make-up artists waxed his legs. He was once wearing boxer shorts during the procedure and didn't realize his penis was sticking out. Later he realized his mistake andI asked a woman who was doing hair removal whether his penis was really dangling at the level of her face, to which she replied: “I’ll tell you this. If I knew you then as I know you now, I would just take that thing and shove it back.”

13. Matthew McConaughey didn't read the script for Scorpio Spring (1995) in advance. It was only on the set that he learned that he was expected to immediately perform a four-page monologue... in Spanish



Why didn't he read the script? The actor explained it as follows: “I had an idea that I needed to do an improvisation, that it would be such a feature, and I said that I would not read the script. He asked me to simply describe the character, the situation, and I would appear, react and do everything as it should. And so I come to the set, we’re about to shoot a scene, and something pulled me to ask for the text... I take it and see a four-page monologue... in Spanish!

The actor asked to be given 12 minutes before filming to prepare. “For some reason I decided that this was enough time to learn four pages of dialogue in Spanish without pissing off the crew. Spoiler: there wasn't enough time. Fortunately, this misstep turned out to be a learning experience for me. Since then I haven't relaxed. It’s better to study everything thoroughly in advance, even if it won’t be particularly useful to you later.”

14. As a young actor, Ben Stiller shouted “Cut!” after screwing up on the set of Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun



There's probably no bigger faux pas you can make on set than yelling "Cut!" when you're not the director. But mess up and then shout “Cut!” on the set of perhaps the greatest director in the history of cinema? Well, that's a whole other level of shame.

Stiller's humiliating moment came while filming an elaborate six-minute Steadicam sequence following the lead character (Christian Bale). Stiller only had one line in the middle of the shot (“Hey kid, want a Hershey bar?”), but he messed it up by cursing and yelling, “Cut!”

After this there was deathly silence, and then Steven Spielberg popularly explained to Stiller who had the right to stop filming. “I literally turned white and cowered because my hero and idol Steven Spielberg was screaming at me,” Ben Stiller recalls. And he says that he lived with this shame for many years. They even laughed about this moment much later with Spielberg (who, of course, did not forget it).

15. Finally, director Chris Columbus reprimanded young Emma Watson in front of everyone on the set of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for dubbing her co-stars' lines.



When 9-year-old Emma Watson was cast as Hermione, she was so committed to doing her job well that she delivered not only her own lines, but also those of her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.

She later recalled in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel: “It actually hurt me a lot because I was causing real problems. I ruined takes, constantly. Chris had to constantly reprimand me for repeating other people's lines. I really enjoyed these books and really wanted to do a good job. And I kind of overdid it.”
