Ben Affleck offers us an insight into one of his most successful films. Armageddon.
He Ordinance The star, 53, in a recent interview shared that while filming the film he was seriously ill and suffering from food poisoning.
It was the same day he had to shoot one of the film’s most emotional scenes in which Harry S. Stamper (Bruce Willis) swapped places with Affleck’s AJ Frost on the asteroid.
“When we filmed that scene, I got food poisoning. At the time I wasn’t an experienced enough actor to know that you can just pick up the phone and say, ‘I’m too sick to work today.’ I’m like, ‘I’d better come in.’ So I went and literally (it’s the only time it’s ever happened to me in my life) I threw up between takes,” he recalled.
“They had a garbage can and I was [vomiting between takes]. And it probably made the scene better,” he laughs.
The actor recalled that the film had an impact on him and his career and gave him the opportunity to work closely with so many talented actors.
“I actually saw Steve Buschemi last night at the premiere of The Rip, and we were reminiscing about that movie and thinking about how it was the strangest, most wonderful, strangest, most otherworldly movie experience that any of us had ever experienced with anything like it,” he shared.
