Damson Idris says he had a “say it, don’t spray it” moment on the set of his new film, F1.
In an interview Wednesday on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Idris — who plays a rookie Formula One driver named Joshua Pearce — recalled an embarrassing moment while shooting opposite his F1 costar Brad Pitt, who plays Pearce’s mentor, Sonny Hayes.
“He is such a giving actor. We once did a scene where I had to scream in his face, and it was like the biggest scene for me. I was so nervous. And in between a take I spat in Brad Pitt’s face,” Idris admitted. “It was an accident! It was a rageful scene!”
The actor said that Pitt flinched a bit in surprise, but then just kept going with the scene. “In my head, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I spat in Brad Pitt’s face! I’m gonna lose my job now,'” he joked. “I watched the spit the whole take, it was just there dribbling down [his face].”
