‘The friends’
The cast of “Friends” has changed a lot 28 years after the show premiered, which was full of jokes between the cast members.
One of them is that Matt LeBlanc (who played Joey) dislocated his shoulder during the filming of the episode “The One Where No One’s Ready”.
The injury was serious and the actor had to wear an immobilizer, but because it was so obvious, the writers had to incorporate his accident into the plot of the show.
Because of this, the character is seen with an injured shoulder in later chapters, such as in ‘The One With The Jam’.
‘Bad Girls’
If you’ve ever wondered why the director of ‘Mean Girls’ had an injured hand, the answer is stranger than you might expect, because in real life the actor who played him, Tim Meadows, was injured.
She broke her wrist before the film started shooting, so she thought she would be out of ‘Mean Girls’ (you can watch this film on ViX+, ViX’s premium streaming service).
However, he continued to be part of the project. Not only that, but Tina Fey, the film’s writer, incorporated his injury into the plot of the story (the director is reported to have carpal tunnel syndrome).
‘The office’
But not only the accidents of celebrities had to be integrated into the plot of films and series, but also their pregnancies.
Such was the case of Jenna Fischer in “The Office” (a series that is full of lessons and memes about everyday life), because after it became known that she is expecting a child, the writers decided to add this moment of her private life. in the program.
That’s how Pam and Jim’s second pregnancy was explained in the show’s eighth season, remember?
“The Vampire Diaries”
Another actress who was pregnant in real life and not acting was Candice King in ‘The Vampire Diaries’.
At the time, the decision to incorporate this event into the series came as a surprise to fans, since as a vampire pregnancy was difficult to explain.
However, the show’s writers managed to see her with her baby bump in the series.
Fuller House
The Netflix sitcom has not been spared real-life accidents among its actors while recording its episodes. Jodie Sweetin broke her leg trying to retrieve a toy that had fallen on her six-year-old daughter.
Since her injury was very visible, they decided to add it to the plot of the show, which could be seen in the episode ‘Break A Leg’.
‘The friends’
Matt LeBlanc’s accident wasn’t the only “Friends” accident that was woven into the program’s plot. The same thing happened with the pregnancy of actress Lisa Kudrow.
After it became known that she was pregnant, the show’s writers decided to make her character, Phoebe, pregnant as well.
