Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey on performing in demanding stunt gear
Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey share their intense stunt experience on set
Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey opened up about the most challenging stunt performance for Jurassic World Rebirth.
Their characters, Zara Bennett and Dr. Henry Loomis, have to rope down a cliff to get to a pterosaur's nest for the scene. The harness made for that stunt turned out to be quite an uncomfortable one.
"We wore harnesses under our actual harness," Johansson, explained to People Magazine. "You have a movie harness that looks like a harness, then you have an actual harness that's hooked up to a line, because you're not actually abseiling, you're on a stunt rig."
Bailey joked, "You're like a baby in a papoose."
"I was happy to say goodbye to the harness," Johansson said, as the Bridgerton star agreed, "Yeah. Chafe with a capital C!"
They further went on to talk about their stunt experience on sets which were majorly located in Malta and Thailand. The Black Widow star called the experience "insane" yet a rewarding one.
"We all laughed a lot, and we were thrown into such extraordinary circumstances physically," she recalled.
Revealing how it was on the set, she added, "Half our set would wash away, and then 10 minutes later it would grow too large, and there's no continuity to anything because the sun was moving in. It was just insane."
Johansson continued, "When we first got to Thailand, we had to do a camera test of the full costume and all that stuff, and just putting all the pieces of the costume together and then standing in a mosquito-infested bush, I was like, 'This is really happening.'"
