13 Literally Toxic Movie Sets That Poisoned More People Than Kim Jong-Un

The more we know about the entertainment industry, the less glitzy and glamor-y it seems. Countless behind-the-scenes documentaries have spilled the beans on actor/director infighting, less-than-ideal working environments, and even downright toxic, poisonous conditions on set. It turns out that movie sets, with their elaborate designs and intricate structures, are not exempt from safety risks (and filmmakers are not exempt from negligence.) 

Incredibly toxic, even carcinogenic materials have been dumped on actors over the years, and you might think these tragic tales are all from Old Hollywood, but some completely shameful shit has gone down in pretty recent memory. Anything for the shot, eh? These treacherous filmmakers did anything to make their vision come to life, and anyone who thinks that comes before human life is a completely superficial megalomaniac. In the grand scheme of things, you point a camera at people playing make believe. Get over yourself. That’s the message we’d like to convey to whomever attributed to these 13 toxic movie sets that poisoned more people than Kim Jong-Un.
