It’s that time of year again where pretty much everyone is watching the Grinch in some fashion, with perhaps the Jim Carrey live action adaptation on the docket. Well, it turns out there was a moment when Carrey called cut after a stunt almost hurt his child co-star, Taylor Momsen.
According to Vulture (via Variety), Momsen explained that during the sled scene, it was real controlled sled that was moving from side to side “very aggressively” on a large spring. When she almost fell off of the sled, Carrey “freaked out” and called cut, checking on her. Funnily enough, she didn’t even register at the time that she was falling off, having too much fun.
“I remember when we were shooting the scene coming down the mountain on the sled. It was this real sled that was up on a giant spring that was being controlled and moving from side to side, very aggressively. Jim is leaning over and being extravagant Jim. There was a moment where I almost fell out of the sled, and he freaked out. He called cut and started checking in on me. I was having a great time. I was laughing; I wasn’t thinking about the fact that I just almost fell very high off the ground.”
