Al's "Fat" Face Exploding Footage

Post by The Sporkman »

So in the recent Entertainment Weekly article, Al said this about the "Fat" video:
But back then, they had to glue these latex bladders onto my cheeks with tubes running down my back and through my pant legs, and there were two special effects artists literally blowing through tubes by my feet to inflate my face. It worked and it was effective.

In fact, and this isn’t available anywhere as a deleted scene, but on the take that we used, I had them blow up my face until my face literally exploded. I don’t know if you’ve ever had your face explode, but it’s quite a feeling.
You wouldn't happen to have that footage, would you? And can we see it? :whoot:

I don't think I have it, but I've seen it... wasn't it in Behind The Music or Driven or the Biography special?
