I guess acne isn’t one of the first things you think of that could go wrong on a film set, but apparently that’s one of the challenges the makers of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire are facing.
A bunch of the young cast got a massive breakout of pimples during shooting of the film. According to the good folks over at Monsters and Critics, things got so bad they:
…had to bring in an expert to airbrush the images and hide the blemishes as the finishing touches were put to the film, due out in November, the report said.
“We have had to employ a special effects man to go through every frame clearing up their complexions,” one insider told the newspaper. “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe, now 15, 17-year-old Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger reportedly were among the worst affected.
As stupid as this sounds, the first time I see this movie now I’ll just be totally distracted because I’ll always be looking for the digital work on their faces to see if I can catch a glimpse of the magical zits. Oh well… at least I actually HAVE a reason to watch it now.
