Will Ferrell’s blooper outtake from “Eastbound & Down” is up there with hardest acting challenges ever.
Danny McBride and Craig Robinson use every bit of willpower to not laugh as Ferrell tries to break them.
Robinson told Vulture about the experience:
➡️ “I remember standing there, trying to keep it together. I’m busting a brain vessel trying to stare in the face and eyes of Danny McBride, while Will Ferrell is deliberately trying to murder us, trying to ruin the take.
You know, talking about [doing Ferrell’s voice], ‘My plums have a bluish hue. Sun dancing off them just right. And my son Gabriel!’…
You got to understand this was all new, fresh stuff — like, what the frick?! And he’s laughing and checking in on us. Oh man, it was a beautiful day of laughter.
But I felt horrible. I was trying, man. I was trying so hard. Tears came down my eyes.” ⬅️

@darthlux It seems you just got lucky haha. Ive read different levels of stress during the growing process can affect the Scoville level because it’s a sort of defense mechanism. It’s a crap shoot. I grow lots of different types of peppers and I have variations of heat in all of them.
@darthlux I grow my own peppers and make my own hot sauce. From my experience every pepper is unique lol, because that helps a lot. Some have high levels of heat in the flesh and some more in the seeds.
