Albert Brooks Thought He Killed a Guy on the Set of 'Drive' (VIDEO)
Acting is way tougher than we imagined. On 'The Tonight Show' (Weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC), Albert Brooks talked about an experience he had with a choking scene that makes us question the authenticity of every violent scene we see on the screen.Everyone from the director to the actor he was working with him was pushing him to choke the guy harder. "Choke me, man," the guy insisted. So Brooks did.
He did until the guy literally passed out, and according to Brooks, genuinely stopped breathing. Talk about authenticity in Hollywood!
Brooks' favorite bit, though, was the producer of the film coming over and asking how he was -- never mind the guy lying on the ground not breathing. Okay, the guy was breathing, but Brooks wasn't certain about that at the time.
