Time, as the say, is money.
And don’t get me started on the time Mr. Belvedere sat on his balls:
RIP, Gilbert.
The world truly misses his grandiloquence.
His kind passes this way but once.
There are locks to prevent it from opening and falling, Sonnenfeld said.
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, Thats fine, Will.
No worries, Will.
Dont worry, Will.
Anyway, I dont know whats gone on, right?
So we race the ladder over.
Yeah, Tommy reaches his leg out as the ladder is coming over, races down the stairs.
And what happened was, Will Smith is a farter, the director continued.
Its just some people are.
And you really dont want to be inside a very small hermetically sealed space with a Will Smith fart.
You dont even want to be sitting next to him at the Disney ranch.
Sonnenfeld concluded, We evacuated the stage for about three hours.
No, hes, you know, a lovely guy.
Just, he farts.
Some do, some dont.
First off, I have newfound respect for Tommy Lee Jones.
I mean, clearly he’s a great actor.
I just always assumed he was a difficult, ego-maniacal prick to work with.
Which he then of course proceeded to do.
But anything negative we’ve heard about the man was wrong.
Jones is obviously the consummate acting professional.
Not only that, but to be so gracious to a guy making his feature film debut like that?
That is nothing short of heroic.
The culmination of all your dreams.
The majority were action films.
A high percentage were Sci-Fi.
And a fair number of those involved aliens.
Here, he was getting to star in his first movie and it involved all three.
And in that moment, he had to have thought he’d (another pun) blown it.
Dozens of union crew members sitting around on the clock, not doing any work.
He had to been thinking he and his noxious ass would never work in that town again.
But thanks to Barry Sonnenfeld and Tommy Lee Jones, he got a second chance.
In fact, it was like it never happened.
Because this was 27 years ago and we’re only just now hearing about it.
It’s amazing what having Jada Pinkett in your life can do to a man.
