Aaron Paul’s Embarrassing Dry Heaving Experience With Christian Bale


On Tuesday’s Conan, Aaron Paul promoted his show The Path and revealed that he has a hair-trigger gag reflex. He said a snake used on set let itself go on him, causing him to dry heave.

That got him into trouble with his co-star Christian Bale on the set of Exodus: Gods and Kings. The camels and horses were spooked during the scene in which Moses parts the Red Sea, so they did what many animals do when they’re frightened. Paul recounted, “We were shooting in this little cove for two solid days. It was a toilet bowl. It was disgusting. Anytime we would say ‘cut’ I’m walking back with the horses and dry heaving, and Christian’s laughing at me.”

Conan airs weeknights at 11 p.m. on TBS.
