Gerard Butler has revealed his horror, on-set scare whereas filming his newest film.
The Scottish actor, 53, described how he by chance rubbed acid on his face and felt like he was “burning alive” throughout capturing for the upcoming motion flick, Plane.
Butler defined on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers that within the scene by which he burned himself, he was pretending to be assessing what was fallacious with an aeroplane in order that it may take off once more, Fox News studies.
“It’s something in the wheel, so it’s a brake,” he mentioned. “Now, I’m sticking my hand between these two wheels, kind of pretending that I know what I’m doing in there, you know?”
Butler mentioned that each time he introduced his arms out from between the wheels, they had been lined in blood and inexperienced fluid: “And I don’t know what this green fluid is.”
They had been capturing in Puerto Rico, the actor mentioned, explaining that he was sweating from the warmth and the adrenaline of capturing the scene.
“With Covid, you realise how this thing [virus] spreads,” he mentioned.
“I must have been … I’m rubbing my face. Suddenly, it’s in my throat, it’s in my mouth, it’s up my nose, it’s in my eyes, it’s burning my face, and I mean burning. And it turns out this is essentially phosphoric acid,” Butler mentioned to gasps from the viewers.
The airline pilots who had been consulting on the set had been screaming “No!” and there was confusion over how one can deal with the burns, he informed Meyers.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends instantly flushing the realm with water.
“So, I’m just like burning alive. It was intense, and it actually burned for hours, but it was great for the scene,” Butler laughed.
Meyers joked that understanding what he does about Covid protocols on units, “There were probably 10 people there making sure nobody gave each other Covid and not one person keeping you from putting acid on your face.”
Plane hits cinemas in Australia on January 26.
