Jessica Chastain admitted that she threw up in her mouth before she kissed a costar on stage.
The actor was performing in a recent Broadway adaptation of "A Doll's House" when it happened.
Chastain told the "SmartLess" podcast: "It was a nightmare and I couldn't explain."
Academy Award-winning actor Jessica Chastain confessed that she once threw up in her mouth and swallowed the vomit before kissing a costar during an onstage performance.
The 46-year-old actor is best known for her roles in "Zero Dark Thirty," "Interstellar," and "Molly's Game." In 2022, Chastain won the Oscar for best actress for her portrayal of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in "The Eyes of Tammy Faye."
As well as movies, Chastain recently starred in a Broadway revival of "A Doll's House," which Vogue described as a "starkly minimal" take on the 1879 play, while noting that Chastain gave an "epic performance" as struggling housewife Nora Helmer.
Unfortunately, marital woes weren't the only thing Chastain grappled with on stage, describing how she vomited in her mouth right before a kissing scene.
"I can say it now, 'cause we're closed. This is really gross, what I'm gonna tell you guys. I threw up," she said on an upcoming episode of the "SmartLess" podcast (via Entertainment Weekly). "I threw up and I swallowed it. And no one knew."
Chastain said she wasn't sure if nerves were to blame for her upset stomach, but, "I was kinda, like, sobbing and I leaned over and it happened."
Unfortunately, because she was on stage, the actor couldn't warn her costar about what had happened before their kiss.
"I had to kiss someone! Yes! It was a nightmare and I couldn't explain," Chastain said, adding that it was "definitely a closed-mouth kiss."
Chastain went on to say that she came clean about what happened to the rest of the cast after the performance had finished.
"The second we had the curtain call and the curtain came down, I said, 'You guys, I'm so sorry, I vomited,'" she said.
