10 Actors Who Had No Idea What Was Coming Next

Will Smith is no stranger to giving himself up to the moment and following whatever impulses he has in the middle of a scene to produce a piece of unexpected acting magic. Yet, comically bouncing off another performer is one thing, hilariously reacting to a completely unexpected stench is something else entirely.

The story goes that the crew working on Independence Day hadn't informed Smith about the unfortunate downside of filming on the salt flats near Utah's Great Salt Lake. With the body of water housing a sizeable amount of brine shrimp, who have no choice but to sink to the bottom of the shallow lake and decompose upon biting the dust, a sudden change in the direction of the wind can send a rather pungent odour your way in a jiffy.

So, when that exact scenario played out in the middle of the scene involving Smith dragging an alien across the salt flats, the actor suddenly let out the unplanned line of “And what the hell is smell?” You can only imagine the look on his face when he finally got his answer post-alien boot to the body.
