Now, most of us love a drink -- I know I do, that’s for sure.
However, those of us with enough brains know not to do it during work hours.
However, there are some folks out there that just don’t know when to stop.
So today on Top 10 Beyond The Screen, we’re going to be counting down our list of the
Top 10 Actors Who Actually Got Drunk On Set.
Before I begin, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be responding
to some of your comments.
Lets jump in.
10 Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis - Black Swan
This Darren Aronofsky drama, thriller about a struggling dancer contains an infamous sex
scene between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, a scene not many would forget easily.
Now, it was famously reported that the pair shared a bottle of tequila prior to shooting
their sex scene, with the Hollywood Reporter stating, “It got everyone relaxed”, until
of course Portman’s character Nina realizes she can’t follow through it.
Now, Kunis has repeatedly denied this claim, but that hasn’t stopped folks from talking
-- what do you guys think?
9 Daniel Radcliffe - Harry Potter Say it ain’t so, Harry Potter was drunk?
Well, apparently, yes.
However, this number differs from the rest of our list, as Daniel Radcliffe has previously
admitted that he had quite the severe drinking problem while shooting the final few Harry
Potter movies.
Now, Radcliffe has stated that he would never drink before filming, but instead would show
up to set still intoxicated from the previous night.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Radcliffe stated, I quote, “I can point to many scenes
where I’m just gone.
Dead behind the eyes.
I have a very addictive personality.
It was a problem.”
Radcliffe also stated that his addiction lasted for about two years, with the actor partying
fairly hard.
Shocker.
8 Jennifer Lawrence - Passengers This is our first Jennifer Lawrence appearance,
but definitely not our last on this list.
2016’s Passengers movie flopped, and it flopped hard.
So, it’s no surprise if you missed this sci-fi film starring J.Law and Chris Pratt,
who also shared a steamy sex scene up in space.
Now, there wasn’t much nudity but Lawrence was reportedly very nervous, especially since
Pratt was married.
The actress told The Hollywood Reporter that she got drunk before filming the sex scene,
but apparently it only made things worse, I quote, “I got really, reall drunk.
But then that led to more anxiety when I got home because I was like, What have I done?
I don’t know” -- Poor J. Law, you should never have done this movie in the first place.
7 Carrie Fisher - The Empire Strikes Back Carrie Fisher was a Hollywood icon, and has
left a huge hole in the industry since her passing.
The actress of course garnered fame when she starred alongside Harrison Ford in Star Wars,
however, did you know that when filming The Empire Strikes Back, the actress was a little
worse for wear.
In one particular scene, the moment where Han and Leia meet Lando in Cloud City, Fisher
told Daily Beast, her and Ford had partied with the Rolling Stones the night before,
I quote, “We never went to sleep, so we weren’t hungover -- we were still drunk
when we arrived in Cloud City the next day.”
Amazing.
6 Brad Pitt and Edward Norton - Fight Club Now, we’re unsure of how they got so drunk,
but we can assume it was some kind of drinking game -- let's just blame Meatloaf.
One night, however, while off camera, Ed Norton and Brad Pitt got drunk, and director David
Fincher did not want to miss the opportunity to snap some great footage for the film.
Fincher had the two actors film the drunken golf scene, and did you know, what they were
actually whacking at was an off camera catering truck.
5 Jennifer Lawrence Again - Catching Fire Katniss isn’t all about shooting folks with
arrows, and deciding which guys she likes today.
Nope, sometimes she likes to get f**ked up, and that’s exactly what happened on the
set of Catching Fire.
In a google hangout fan q and a she told viewers that the cast got drunk together while filming,
even telling David Letterman, she would get drunk on Pina Coladas in between takes -- impressive,
but where’s your professionalism Everdeen?
You got a dystopian city to take down!
4 Shia LaBeouf - Lawless Now, this will not come as a surprise to most
of you as Shia LaBeouf is notorious for being a method actor, and incredibly difficult to
work with.
Taking into account the premise of the film, where Shia plays a bootlegger during prohibition,
and exclusively makes moonshine -- it’s no surprise that to get into character who
would swig a bit before filming.
The actor stated, I quote, “I did it for the movie.
I didn’t drink offset for no reason.
I did it because, when I showed up on set the next day, my f**king eyes look like this
and my face...had that drunk bloat that I needed, that I couldn’t have if that wasn’t
going on.”
Good to know -- if you’re searching for a fresh bloat, drink some moonshine and you’re
good to go.
3 Anna Kendrick - Drinking Buddies Once again, this is a number that comes as
no surprise since the entire film was made in a brewery and follows the friendship of
two brewery employees -- played by Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson.
Now, according to Wilde, the best part of the shoot was when fellow costar, Anna Kendrick,
accidentally got hammered on set.
I quote, “She sat down to do the first scene and took a huge gulp of beer, not realizing
it was real, and was like, instantly hammered.
She was like, What’s happening?, and we were like, Oh, we forgot to tell you -- the
beer’s all real and everyone’s drunk.
It’s 10am, welcome to Drinking Buddies.”
-- Now, that’s a movie I want to be apart of.
Sign me up.
2 Margot Robbie - The Wolf of Wall Street Now, this one again comes as no surprise,
but I didn’t expect it to come from Margot Robbie, I was expecting Jonah Hill, even Leon,
but not Margot.
The Wolf of Wall Street was of course a pretty scandalous film, filled to the brim with sex,
drugs, alcohol, and more drugs.
Now, in Margot Robbie’s first risque scene on screen she was required to stand fully
naked in front of the camera.
The actress told The New York Times that a crew member offered her some tequila, I quote,
“I did three shots of tequila and then took my clothes off and did the scene.
It really helped stop my hands shaking, and gave me a little boost of confidence.”
-- Whatever it takes, right?
1 Fred Astaire - Holiday Inn Now, this classic film deserves our number
one spot solely because of what Fred Astaire went through in order to get the perfect take.
In this delightful 1942 musical comedy, Astaire was required to do a drunken dance scene at
the end of the film -- and of course, he wanted to drink before doing it so as to rid himself
of his angelic coordination.
So, what did he do?
Drink bourbon.
According to his daughter Ava, Fred did two shots of bourbon before the first take, and
one with each take that followed.
The shot they used in the film was the seventh take, meaning that he took eight shots of
bourbon during the course of the scene.
Christ.
How was he even standing?
Well, I guess he wasn’t -- if you’ve seen the film you’ll know what I mean.
Well, there we have it!
Do you guys agree with our list?
Were there any drunk actors we missed?
Probably not, but comment down below regardless.
Before I go though, I just want to respond to a few comments from one of our last videos,
Top 10 Bloopers That Ended Up In The Movie.
Matthew Boyajian said “Lucy, Queen of Horror, please do Top 10 Dark Ma Theories.”
-- I loved Ma, and would be very into this!
I’ll see what I can do.
Faze Yung said “Yes, Lucy is back” -- Ummm, I didn’t go anywhere, I’m just in every
third video...But, thanks for the warm welcome.
Liam Evans said “Sexy belly” -- …..
