Being in The Matrix does wild things to your mind — just ask Jonathan Groff.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly alongside the rest of the cast, the actor — who plays Agent Smith in the movie — recalled filming an action scene and coming to the realization that he might've just, um, had an accident.

"When it was over, I was like, 'I think I wet my pants. I think I peed myself,'" he admitted.

"You know when you pee yourself you feel that, like, hot urine? ... But then, it didn't go away," he continued. "When you pee yourself, it's hot for a second and then it gets cold, and so [the sensation] sustained."

"Then I thought one of the shells from the gun had come down my shirt, which they warn you might happen. I was reaching down there looking for this shell but it wasn't down there."

Groff went on to say that co-star Carrie-Anne Moss had an interesting and very Matrix-y explanation for what took place: "You were saying sometimes your body doesn't know it's not real."

"When I shoot a gun, I can look really cool in a scene, but afterward it's like my body doesn't know it's not real, and it's really intense," Moss then explains. "Unless you're really experienced [and] you've gone beyond that point. My body has a physical reaction to it."

"But you didn't pee your pants, to be clear," she specified.
