10 Movies That Gave Actors The Idea To Do Something REALLY STUPID

While promoting Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, star Dylan O'Brien revealed something he probably shouldn't have - especially as it apparently turned out to be a lie.

Some of the film's scenes were shot at a Native American burial ground in Albuquerque, New Mexico which hadn't been used in a movie before, with the cast and crew being firmly instructed not to disturb the ground or remove anything from the site.

However, during an interview with Live! With Kelly and Michael, O'Brien admitted that "everyone just takes stuff, you know, obviously," before mentioning that five cast members fell ill within a week of leaving the site, and joking that it might've been the result of a curse.

This caused members of the local Pueblo community to petition for O'Brien and others to return the lifted artifacts and apologise for their remarks, before studio Fox investigated the matter and "found no evidence that any artifacts were removed from the location."

Fox's implication is obviously that O'Brien effectively lied about nabbing artifacts, which is stupid, or the alternative is that he was indeed telling the truth, yet Fox failed to find any evidence of him pilfering from the shooting site, because why would they?

Either way, it made O'Brien look silly and disrespectful, and when the actor was seriously injured the next year while shooting the third Maze Runner film - causing production to shut down for an entire year - some less-tactful observers remarked that it could've been a result of O'Brien being cursed.
