Will Smith
American movie director and filmmaker, Barry Sonnenfeld, has revealed that a film crew had to be evacuated for three hours due to flatulence caused by popular actor, Will Smith.
The Men In Black director who directed Will in 1997, claims the Oscar-winner once broke wind so severely, that an entire film set had to be evacuated for three hours.
According to the director, the incident took place when Smith and co-star Tommy Lee Jones were in a transforming car that required them to be ‘hermetically sealed’ in a pod.
He explained, ‘There are locks to prevent it from opening and falling. I say, “Roll camera,” and I hear Will Smith go, “Oh Jesus, so sorry. Tommy, so sorry. Baz, get the ladder.” And you hear Tommy saying, “That’s fine, Will. No worries, Will. Don’t worry, Will.” Anyway, I don’t know what’s gone on, right?’
Barry went on to say, ‘So we race the ladder over, Tommy reaches his leg out as the ladder is coming over, and races down the stairs. And what happened was, Will Smith is a farter.’
He continued: ‘It’s just some people are. And you really don’t want to be inside a very small hermetically sealed space with a Will Smith fart.’
‘You don’t even want to be sitting next to him at the Disney ranch,’ he emphasized.
He made the comments while appearing on the podcast Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa.
Men in Black went on to become the third-highest-grossing movie of 1997, raking in $584 million worldwide.
