10 Recent Movie Scenes Actors Hated Performing

10. Francis McDormand Experienced "A Not-Very-Pleasant Thing" - Nomadland

Chloé Zhao’s tale of a nomad who begins a new life on the road in the wake of her husband's death quickly became the talk of the town heading into the most recent Oscar season.

With the director showcasing real-life nomads throughout the Best Picture winning Nomadland, the film simply exuded authenticity from start to finish.

And said legitimacy was also felt in Frances McDormand's Best Actress-winning work too, specifically during a moment she described as feeling like she'd "literally experienced the worst, not maybe the worst thing, but a not-very-pleasant thing that could happen.”

With McDormand and Zhao testing out the van that would become almost a character in its own right throughout the flick - the actor had wanted to sleep in it for character research - the former soon regretted indulging in some spicy wings for dinner. Before she knew it, McDormand was taking "a dump in the 5-gallon bucket." But as she'd blissfully acknowledge, "it also was really great because we filmed some stuff.”

Though it's not clear whether any of said very real bowl movements made it into the flick itself, the harsh realities of nomad life evidently hit McDormand very early in the shoot.
