00:00Glamorous lifestyle, posh cars, and all those Dolce Vita attributes are tightly associated

00:05with Hollywood, but no matter how luxurious this star lifestyle may sound, there's always

00:10the flip side of the coin.

00:12The secrets the movie industry hides can sometimes be blood-curdling, but I can expose the darkest

00:17sides of showbiz for you.

00:19The picture's up!

00:21Tom Cruise has an ace up his, erm, not exactly sleeve, that helps him nail those jaw-dropping

00:26stunts without needing a stunt double.

00:29Turns out, it's all thanks to his trusty G-string thong!

00:34Tom Cruise rocks a saucy thong to stay flexible and unrestricted as he takes on baddies, leaps

00:38out of planes, and does all those crazy action sequences.

00:41Hey, if it works for him, more power to him!

00:46At the end of his career, Marlon Brando definitely took a laid-back approach to memorizing his

00:51lines.

00:52He was known to sneak a peek at cue cards hidden around the set, like when he had his

00:55lines scribbled on the back of baby Superman's diaper.

00:59And in The Godfather, he taped his lines to other actors' chests, and maybe even used

01:04a sneaky cat to hide a cue card during a memorable scene.

01:08Urgent bathroom breaks can seriously mess up anyone's plans.

01:12They can be especially uncomfortable if you're an actor that has to perform stunts.

01:16Ask Harrison Ford about it.

01:18He had a health condition while filming Raiders of the Lost Ark.

01:22Because of constant powder room trips, he couldn't shoot a big sword fight scene.

01:26It would take way too much time without breaks.

01:28Instead, we got that awesome moment where Indy just shoots the swordsman.

01:32The cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz was wearing an actual lion pelt.

01:37That costume was no joke.

01:38It was so heavy and uncomfortable.

01:40Poor guy.

01:42The Wicked Witch of the West wasn't just wearing any old makeup.

01:45She was slathering on some green, copper-based makeup that was seriously toxic.

01:51Once her makeup was applied, Margaret Hamilton couldn't even eat.

01:55All she could do was drink something using a straw.

01:59The director of The Exorcist, William Friedkin, was all about getting real reactions from

02:03his cast.

02:04He'd pull out a shotgun and fire off blanks out of nowhere, scaring the pants off his

02:09actors.

02:10He just wanted to see genuine fear.

02:12That's a dedication to making a creepy film, right?

02:17Those bees in Candyman were the real deal.

02:20Poor Tony Todd had to deal with them buzzing around during scenes where they came pouring

02:25out of his mouth.

02:26To film this creepy scene, they used 500 bees to fill his mouth.

02:31Those were 12-day-old bees, so their stingers weren't as powerful.

02:35Plus, Tony was covered in special pheromones, so the bees thought he was their queen bee.

02:40Even with all that protection, he got stung 23 times.

02:44But he received an extra grand for each sting.

02:49In the movie Casablanca, they used forced perspective for the iconic airport scene.

02:54But it wasn't filmed outside, as it may seem.

02:56There was no way they could fit in a real plane indoors.

03:00So they created a small plywood plane model and hired little people as extras to make

03:05it look full-sized.

03:07With the help of fog and soft focus, the illusion was complete.

03:12Humphrey Bogart rocked some serious lifts in his shoes to stand taller than Ingrid Bergman

03:16in Casablanca.

03:18He was a bit insecure about his height, because Bergman was an inch taller than him.

03:23You may think it's not a big deal, but Bergman would wear heels in the movie, and she was

03:27towering over him in some scenes.

03:30So Bogart had to wear these massive platform shoes just to compete.

03:34Isla Fisher had a close call while shooting a stunt for Now You See Me.

03:39She was stuck in a water tank while chained up and almost drowned.

03:43There was supposed to be an emergency switch to drain the tank, but she couldn't reach

03:47it because she got tangled in the chains.

03:50And to top it off, nobody realized she was in actual danger because they thought she

03:54was just acting.

03:56Thankfully, she was able to free herself and finally activate the switch in the nick of

04:00time.

04:02The Blair Witch Project marketing team went all out to trick people into thinking it was

04:06a real documentary.

04:08Found footage movies are fictional, but they pretend to be real documentaries shot by the

04:12characters.

04:14The Blair Witch Project was one of the first of its kind.

04:17It's about three students trying to make a documentary about a witch in Maryland.

04:22Things get crazy in the woods, and by the end of the movie, they vanish, leaving only

04:26their footage behind.

04:28The marketing campaign got so intense with fake reports and posters that some people

04:33actually thought the actors had disappeared for real.

04:37Filmmakers always have to get creative when showing vehicles and devices that don't actually

04:41exist.

04:42Take, for instance, all the funky props in Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker.

04:46I mean, some explosions in the movie looked just like those old-school echo mics we used

04:52to play with as kids.

04:54The prop specialists just used the upper part of the toy and spray-painted it to get a natural-looking

04:59result.

05:00Michael Keaton's Batman outfit in Batman Returns was rocking some seriously cool kicks.

05:06The boots were actually modified Nike Jordan 6s, painted black and decked out with shin

05:12armor.

05:13And get this, they kept the original sole with the Jumpman logo.

05:17Did you know that Janet Leigh, the actress who played Marion Crane in Psycho, was so

05:21spooked by her character's shower scene that she avoided showers at all costs?

05:26Yep, she only took baths after that.

05:29If she really had to shower, she had to make sure every possible exit was sealed and kept

05:33a close watch on the door the entire time.

05:36Can you blame her?

05:38That scene was intense.

05:40So get this, in Titanic, Jack totally goofed and told Rose to chill on the bed instead

05:46of the couch while he was sketching her.

05:48Turns out, Leonardo DiCaprio slipped up and just went with it.

05:52Director James Cameron thought it was hilarious and kept it in the final cut.

05:57Classic Leo.

05:58Henry Cavill's filming for Justice League and Mission Impossible 6 clashed, and Paramount

06:03straight-up banned him from shaving his epic mustache.

06:07Warner Bros. had to drop a cool $25 million to CGI that stash out of the movie.

06:14Can you imagine the special effects team freaking out over that?

06:17In the 2002 Spider-Man movie, it took a whopping 156 tries to nail a seemingly innocent scene.

06:25Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker comes to the rescue of Mary Jane after she takes a tumble

06:29in the school cafeteria.

06:31Her lunch goes flying, but Spider-Man swoops in, saves the day, and catches everything

06:36on her tray.

06:37And get this, no CGI was used at all.

06:41It was all Maguire making the magic happen.

06:44Kirsten Dunst confirmed that there were no tricks, just Maguire's impressive skills.

06:49And maybe a little help from a tray glued to his hand.

06:53When Alan Rickman took that epic fall from Nakatomi Plaza in Die Hard, he was totally

06:58duped by the stunt coordinator.

07:00Picture this, Hans is dropped from the tippy-top of Nakatomi, actually the Fox building in

07:06Century City, California.

07:08Rickman actually did the stunt himself.

07:10But here's where it gets juicy.

07:12He was basically pranked.

07:14The stunt coordinator held him with a rope and said he'd be released on three, but pulled

07:18a sneaky move and let him go on one instead.

07:22So that look of fear on Hans' face was totally legit.

07:26Rickman was shook, just like how Picerny wanted.

07:29Rickman even admitted that he didn't remember the countdown, but he had definitely felt

07:34the adrenaline rush from doing the stunt.

07:37Jim Carrey wasn't just acting as the Grinch.

07:40That guy was literally transformed into a walking, talking sourpuss with all that makeup

07:45and prosthetics.

07:46It was so intense on set that even the special effects makeup artist had to seek for specialized

07:51help after working with him.

07:53Now that's method acting!

07:55Roll credits!

07:56That's it for today!
