There are different kinds of movie fans – those who appreciate the art behind filmmaking, those obsessed with movies and every tiny factoid, and the causal fellows who are just trying to kill some time and hopefully get entertained. Regardless of how wonderful a movie is, what you see on the big screen is not always better than what was left behind the scenes.

The movie world is undeniably interesting yet curious. A few incredible awkward things have transpired behind the scenes of well-recognized movies, ranging from catching nasty infections, forgetting to wear robotic makeup to heading out for lunch. More so, it appears our cherished actors and actresses, including crew, have garnered quite a lot of shocking facts and ill-starred stories over the year and still manage to see fun with it.

Pretty Woman

Richard Gere (Edward), taking a shot of the necklace case down on Julia Roberts (Vivian) fingers, was makeshift by Gere, and amazingly, Robert’s laughter was equally natural. The producer loved it and decided to leave the scene in the movie.

The Imitation Game

Benedict Cumberbatch, popularly known as Dr. Strange, admitted he couldn’t stop tearing up and had a breakdown in one of the film’s final scenes. ‘Being an actor or a human being that had grown amazingly fond of the character and pondering what he had suffered and how that had impacted him.’ Cumberbatch had said.

During a break in filming, Arnold Schwarzenegger went into a restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. He realized too late that he was still in his Terminator makeover – the burned flesh, exposed jawbone, and missing eyeball.

Man Of Steel

Henry Cavil declined the intake of steroids to muscle up. He also rejected any digital touch-up and enhancement of his body. He revealed it would be dishonest of him to use tricks in playing Superman. He chose to push his body to the limit and develop his physique into fitting the worthy character.

The crew flown up saw him countlessly from the helicopters.

The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

Hence her screams and reaction were genuine. Her reaction, which entailed a blindfold into the snowy world of Narnia, was also entirely hers.

Dallas Buyers Club

The movie’s budget was too low that the makeup was hinged for just 0. The characters were able to work with that, and interestingly the film Makeup and hairstyling crew won the Oscar.
The Theory Of Everything
