8 Actors Who Were Confused While Filming Movie Scenes
5. John Malkovich's Crazy Accent Confused Matt Damon (Rounders)
John Malkovich has a reputation for being a bit of an unpredictable (in a good way) performer to work with, and his collaboration with Matt Damon in 1998's Rounders is certainly proof of that.
Damon - an up-and-comer at the time - was incredibly excited that Malkovich had agreed to do the movie, and was looking forward to his arrival on set. But when the two actors finally got to work together, Damon was left feeling quite surprised and confused with a specific, rather weird choice that Malkovich made.
During a chat with BBC Radio One, Damon said that - during their very first take - Malkovich put on a crazy, high-pitched accent for no apparent reason. Across the table, Damon was left befuddled, staring at Malkovich, wondering what the hell was going on. But his co-star continued, and even received a round of applause from the surrounding crew for his performance.
Amusingly, Malkovich then leaned in close and whispered "I'm a terrible actor", which we can only assume left Damon even more confused than he already was.
