Some scenes in films simply require extraordinary solutions. Even the most daring actors, it happens, are afraid to perform certain actions on the set without taking it on the chest. In cinema, there are even cases when the directors themselves force the actors to drink before filming in order to relax and better enter the role. We have compiled a photo list of actors who were actually drunk in the movie on set. The talent of these Hollywood stars lies in the fact that none of the viewers even noticed it.
Robert Shaw got drunk while filming "Jaws"
- "A man for all time", "Scam", "From Russia with love", "Black Sunday"
The late actor Robert Shaw once said: "Imagine yourself as a star and try to embrace your fame without alcohol." The show loved to drink and often touched it, but one day it went into the director's hands. During the filming of Jaws, Steven Spielberg made Robert drunk to the point of unconsciousness before he had to read a huge monologue. As a result, Shaw's speech from Jaws became a classic of world cinema. The actor himself, having sober up, called Spielberg and terribly apologized for his behavior. According to Stephen, he was embarrassed and sweet, and the next morning he played another great scene.
Billy Bob Thornton never came out of a binge on Bad Santa
- Simple Plan, Sharpened Blade, Goliath, Judge
“Bad Santa” is one of the most beloved New Year's films among several generations of viewers. Billy Bob Thornton, perhaps, also recalls the times of filming with trepidation. The fact is that during the filming process, not only his character drank - the actor himself did not get out of the binge. Essentially, Thornton received money for his drinking, but no one would have played the drunken Santa better than he did. Billy Bob was very insistent on the continuation of the picture, and this is not surprising.
Olivia Wilde and Anna Kendrick were constantly drunk on Drinking Companions
- "The Case of Richard Jewell", "Life Itself", "Vinyl" / "Up in the Sky", "A Simple Request", "Payback"
Of course, it would be possible to replace all the alcohol on the set of "Drinkers" with water or tea, but then the picture would have to be called "Teetotalers". The actors started drinking alcohol around ten in the morning, and by the end of the working day they were already pretty drunk. Olivia Wilde claims that all this was done solely for the sake of art, and it was also foolish not to take advantage of the fact that the shooting took place on the territory of a real brewery. But they forgot to warn Anna Kendrick that everything would be fair. As a result, the actress had to come to terms with what was happening and, being a teetotaler, was gradually drawn into the process.
Jennifer Lawrence once got drunk while filming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
- Joy, My Boyfriend Is Crazy, Winter Bone, American Scam
Jennifer Lawrence once admitted to reporters that the most memorable working day during the filming of The Hunger Games was the day when the cast got drunk. They fooled around and laughed a lot on the job. The actress noted that it was the first time she drank alcohol on the set, and her colleague Josh Hutcherson retorted that she would definitely not be the last. And, I must say, he was right - soon the shooting in "Passengers" forced Lawrence to drink for courage.
Jennifer Lawrence in "The Passengers" saw for courage
Our photo-list of actors who were actually drunk in the film on set continues with another film with Jennifer Lawrence. During the filming of Passengers, the actress had to take part in a sex scene with Chris Pratt. It would seem that the usual working moment was overshadowed by one nuance - partner Lawrence was married. She couldn't bring herself to touch the married man until she sipped a glass or two. The actress admits that she is still periodically tormented by a sense of guilt towards Pratt's wife.
Margot Robbie drank tequila to film one of the scenes in "The Wolf of Wall Street"
- "Scandal", "Tonya Against Everyone", "Doll", "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"
The young and brave Margot Robbie is also on the list of actors and actresses who really starred drunk. Now the actress is known in Hollywood and beyond, but when the shooting of "The Wolf of Wall Street" took place, she could not dream of such popularity. In one of the scenes, Margot needed to be completely naked in front of the cameras. As an exception, the director allowed Robbie a drink in order to calm down and relax.
John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins drank regularly at Super Mario Bros.
- When They See Us, The Waco Tragedy, Pedigree / Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Will, A Christmas Carol
The picture "Superbros Mario" is clearly not included in the list of masterpieces of cinema. Everyone understands this: starting with the audience, ending with the director and the cast.

As a result, almost all the time, the actors playing the main roles drank so as not to slide into depression completely.

" He went down in Hollywood history not only as a first-class entertainer, but also as a big drinker.

The fact is that the actors often drank between takes and had fun as best they could. The famous shots of the characters throwing golf balls at houses were filmed spontaneously when tipsy Pitt and Norton were just fooling around. The director liked the moment so much that he decided to include it in the film.

Richard Burton was constantly drunk in Under the Milky Tree
- Equus, Anna's Thousand Days, Where Eagles Nest, The Taming of the Shrew

While filming Under the Milk Tree, Richard, by his own admission, drank a bottle of vodka a day to keep himself in good shape. The norm for an actor at that time was 2-3 bottles of strong alcohol per day, which means that, in principle, he was "sober as glass" by his own standards.
Martin Sheen relieves stress with alcohol while filming "Apocalypse Now"
- West Wing, Bobby, The Departed, Catch Me If You Can

Daniel Radcliffe starred drunk in Harry Potter
- "Miracle Workers", "Kill Your Loved Ones", "Notes of a Young Doctor", "Woman in Black"
