Watch: 6 Times Actors Were Actually Drunk On Screen
The media likes to build up actors into these untouchable icons, only to gleefully tear them down when they show the first sign of humanity. It's happened since the early days of Hollywood, when guys like Eddie Mannix controlled the images of his studio's stars (see: Hail, Caesar!), and you only have to glance at the magazine rack as you check out at the grocery store to see it's still happening today. Sometimes actors drink, and sometimes they do it while they're working — whether to further dive into their characters, or because the movie they're in is so bad, they'd rather do anything but continue.
Dorkly has put together a list of times that actors were actually drunk on screen, though there are a couple of these that are vague or questionable. Either way, it's interesting to hear the behind-the-scenes stories about some of these if you haven't heard them already.
