10 Movie Moments More Terrifying When You Know The Truth

10. John David Washington Actually Had A Big Fear Of Heights Before That Jumping Scene - Tenet

Christopher Nolan isn't one to lean on the tool of CGI wherever possible. He's fond of quite the opposite, as it goes. And The Dark Knight trilogy helmer was at it once again when bringing his most recent epic of Tenet to the big-screen... unfortunately for his leading man.

That's because John David Washington isn't the biggest fan of heights. And this was something the star of the 2020 monster had to come to terms with on the day that involved him filming a sequence involving his Protagonist jumping off a balcony in Mumbai.

Now it's not as though Washington is the first to face this pretty common fear head on. However, most folks aren't forced to come to terms with this often crippling fear with an entire film crew staring at them and a camera rolling.

Luckily, Washington was eventually able to execute the no-doubt petrifying jump and actually enjoyed shooting the sequence after finding some courage. But not before admitting to initially "not being great for that particular moment" and not taking Nolan's notes like he usually would in the lead-up.

Hilariously, the director had no knowledge of the fact his leading actor was legitimately terrified whilst shooting the jump, telling his co-star at a press conference, "I didn’t know. I just thought you weren’t taking the note."
