15 Truly Disgusting Moments From Hollywood Movie Sets

Blue milk is something you’d never want to actually drink.

15 Truly Disgusting Moments From Hollywood Movie Sets

August 15, 2021

Being an actor can seem to be an easy existence. You show up, perform your lines in front of a camera, and chill out between your scenes. It can be a sweet life and a great way to making a living if you can continue to get work. Sure, maybe a costume is a pain in the butt, but otherwise it's a decent way to live. Then there are the days where you drink blue milk.

I don't know if you're unaware of this, but milk typically isn't blue. And it wasn't really “milk” but “milky.” I don't know about you and your job, but I would imagine that your boss doesn't make you drink mysterious milky blue drinks.

It could be worse though. Your boss could ask you to kiss your coworker who has been scarfing down pickles and tuna all afternoon.

Read on for more on these stories and other gross things actors had to do on the job:

Marina Sirtis spat out bits of chocolate into a bucket in The Next Generation. In The Game scene where she eats a chocolate sundae, she decided to spit into a bucket after each take so she doesn't gain lots of weight. CRACKED.COM — Source: 5 Hilariously Disgusting Moments From Your Favorite Shows

On True Blood, Anna paquin had to drink gross fake blood that tasted like latex. She chose the sugar-free version, which was also flavor-free, and only had the revolting taste of the latex tubes it was passing through. CRACKED.COM — Source: 5 Hilariously Disgusting Moments From Your Favorite Shows

David Boreanaz and Sarah Michelle Gellar made sex scenes annoying for each other. Right before filming a Buffy and Angel kissing scene, for example, they'd eat a ton of tuna fish and pickles just to gross each other out.

Anne Hathaway had to sing while surrounded by very quickly rotting seafood.

Props

The human guts in Night of the Living Dead were chocolate syrup, ham, and organs. Animal organs, that is. And those things might not sound so bad but actors had to gobble up all of that mixed together in one disgusting mes.

The android blood in Aliens was a bunch of rancid, super-gross milk and yogurt. It wasn't supposed to be spoiled, but they didn't keep it refrigerated, so Lance Henriksen had to drink milk and yogurt left under hot studio lights.

John Cena had to drink 31 empanadas in a row on the set of The Suicide Squad. I think 32 would have been the heave-ho, but I was able to just relax and unbutton, Cena said when he discussed shooting the scene. CRACKED.COM — Source: Comicbook.com

Game of Thrones

The inside of Oberyn Martell's prop head in Game of Thrones was really gross. They made little strips of silicone to look like brain matter, then drenched them with fake blood made of water, food coloring, syrup and sugar. CRACKED.COM — Source: Vanity Fair

The blue milk Mark Hamill had to drink for Star Wars was gag-inducing. He called it warm, oily, sickly-sweet milk dyed blue. (Presumably he was talking about A New Hope rather than The Last Jedi, but it wasn't clear). CRACKED.COM — Source: The Hollywood Reporter

6

The Lighthouse

Robert Pattinson licked up mud and made himself throw up for a movie. It was The Lighthouse, and that was part of his process for playing an insane character (and pissing his pants was another part of it). CRACKED.COM — Source: Esquire

5

J. LaRose had to walk around in a shirt drenched in syrup and saliva in Saw III. The fake blood they used was syrup-based, which made him salivate -- so, after hours of filming, blood and spit had run all over his shirt. CRACKED.COM — Source: Vulture

4

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek had to eat a fake heart made of blood, pasta, sugar, and more. It was for a scene in Tale of Tales, and it was exactly as disgusting as it sounds-- The amount of sugar would make my teeth hurt, she said. CRACKED.COM — Source: The Hollywood Reporter

3

Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany had a disgusting, snotty kiss on WandaVision. They call it Snotgate, and it involved one of them (they can't agree who) having their nose suddenly start running during a passionate kiss. CRACKED.COM — Source: Entertainment Weekly

The Wizard of Oz

In The Wizard of oz, they banned the main actors from eating in the cafeteria. The actors who played the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion apparently looked so gross eating in makeup, they couldn't have lunch in the cafeteria. CRACKED.COM — Source: Vanity Fair

Lea Michele started puking when she sang Let It GO in Glee's final season. While singing, she looked up, and a lot of fake snow started falling into her mouth ... so she ended up choking on it and throwing up. CRACKED.COM — Source: 5 Hilariously Disgusting Moments From Your Favorite Shows
