10 Times Actors Broke Character In Movies

Though This Is the End seems like a pretty fast-and-loose movie where characters are concerned, especially with the majority of the cast playing mildly exaggerated versions of themselves, James Franco does nevertheless betray himself during one brief scene.

Almost halfway through the movie, Franco records a relatively somber video confessional where he complains about Danny McBride showing up at his house uninvited, just before McBride himself appears in the background and starts chatting to him.

McBride eventually walks off, and if you look and listen closely, you can hear Franco start convulsing with laughter instead of playing the scene straight as intended.

At this moment the video camera suddenly glitches, before Franco says "F**k that dude." 

The glitch was likely a sneaky way to cut between two takes in an attempt to conceal Franco breaking character. It more-or-less works, but you can definitely spot Franco's slip-up if you're paying attention.
