Recently we asked the BuzzFeed Community what behind-the-scenes fact always makes them laugh. Here are some of the best responses (along with a few of my own)!
1.While filming a swinging stunt for Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland farted on Zendaya.
2.Speaking of farts (sorry) — in Dune, Josh Brolin also used to fart a lot while shooting inside the ornithopter.
3.On Friends, writers came up with the Emily/Rachel wedding name mix-up because David Schwimmer actually mixed up their names in rehearsal for a different episode.
NBC
4.Oh, and that whole storyline on Riverdale where it seemed like Jughead was dead? That only happened 'cause Cole Sprouse was too cold to film a scene.
5.In The Sound of Music, they had to film just silhouettes during "Something Good" because Julie Andrews kept giggling — the lights above them kept making strange noises during the scene.
6.In Supernatural, the holy water was actually a mixture of lube and water, according to actor Alaina Huffman.
The CW
7.The scene in Spider-Man when Peter catches the food on MJ's tray was not done with CGI — Tobey Maguire actually had to catch it (though his hand was glued to the tray), and it took 156 takes.
8.In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, there was one scene in which Harrison Ford and Sean Connery went pants-less because it was so hot.
9.In The Wolf of Wall Street, Matthew McConaughey kept beating his chest and humming before takes of the restaurant scene as a relaxation exercise. Leonardo DiCaprio suggested he bring it into the scene, and it made it into the final cut.
Paramount Pictures
10.During Anya's heartbreaking monologue about death in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body," Emma Caulfield said, the only thing she was thinking about was how much she had to go to the bathroom.
11.In Candyman, Tony Todd agreed to use real bees in the scene where they fly out of his character's mouth, under the condition that he'd get $1,000 each time he was stung. He ended up getting stung 23 times.
TriStar Pictures
12.The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban scene where Hermione punches Draco was originally supposed to be a slap — Tom Felton asked Emma Watson to try slapping him for practice. However, she slapped him super hard, and Tom said he walked away with his "tail between his legs." It was later changed to a punch.
Warner Bros. Pictures
13.In The Last Jedi, Laura Dern kept saying "pew" whenever she fired her blaster.
Lucasfilm
14.And in The Phantom Menace, Hayden Christensen would make a light-saber noise whenever he fought with one.

16.After the baby who was supposed to play Toby in Labyrinth kept crying at the puppets, he was replaced with the infant son of the conceptual and costume designer for the film, who was used to being around puppets. The baby, Toby Froud, later ended up being a puppeteer and fabricator of goblins who worked on Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
17.In Gilmore Girls, Alexis Bledel never actually drank coffee (she doesn't like the taste) — her coffee cups were filled with Coke instead.
