...a list of useless facts about movies. Now this could be fun, am I right?! let's jump right into it!

  1. Joaquin Phoenix lost 52 pounds to play Arthur fleck in joker. when filming was over, he quickly gained back 25 pounds. I wonder how many milkshakes🥤that took.
  2. Chris Farley was the original pick for the character Shrek. he recorded most of the lines 🎬 before he passed away. rip.
  3. tony todd filled his mouth with real live bees 🐝 in the filming of Candyman. 🍭 he was stung several times. well, that's a big surprise. 😳 
  4. Cleopatra was one of the most expensive movies ever made. it totaled $3️⃣7️⃣0️⃣ million in today's currency. 💵 they weren't even done filming but cut it off due to cost.
  5. in home alone, the picture of buzz's girlfriend 👯‍♀️ was actually a picture of the director's son wearing a wig. was he old enough to consent and did he realize how long that picture would live on?! 📸
  6. when filming the expendables 3, Jason Statham almost drowned at the bottom of the black sea. 🌊 
  7. the idea for hostel came to be after the writer-creator learned of a Thai website where people would pay to torture and kill other people. 🔪
  8. Bruce willis' character in die hard was offered to frank sinatra first. he was 73 years old. 👴
  9. Michelle pfeiffer had to be vacu-sealed into her Catwoman 🐱costume for Batman returns. 🦇imagine breathing in that.
  10. the character max in Hocus pocus 🧹was almost played by Leonardo dicaprio. this is one of my all time favorite movies. 🎦 
  11. Steve carrel's reaction to getting his chest waxed in the 40 year old virgin was legit. he was a waxing virgin and he didn't think it would hurt. 😂
  12. in the hateful eight, Kurt Russell accidentally smashed a 1️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ year old guitar instead of the movie prop. this is why communication matters, people.

Well, that's it! Do you feel smarter, now that you've read those? ☝️☝️☝️Of course you don't, they're useless! Kinda interesting though. 👍 Have you heard any random useless facts that were surprising to you? Share them in the comments--doesn't even have to be about movies! 🎥
