Jayma Mays was tempted to wear the prosthetic pregnant belly she dons in new movie The Smurfs during a night out - because she loved the special treatment she received from members of the public during filming.
The Glee star plays the pregnant wife of Neil Patrick Harris' character in the live action family comedy and she was pleasantly surprised every time she stepped out on the streets of New York to shoot the film.
I've had to wear a belly once before for a job and you look in the mirror and it's weird and think, 'one day,'
She tells us, "I was pregnant (in the role). I was wearing the (prosthetic) belly which was great by the way. People are so nice to you when you wear a belly, like (they) open doors for you or ask you if you're hungry or need water. I did want to go to a bar with the belly on and just drink some shots!"
But May admits walking around with the bulging belly felt a little strange, because it gave her a glimpse into her own future.
She adds, "I've had to wear a belly once before for a job and you look in the mirror and it's weird and think, 'one day,' because I might have kids one day and this is what it's gonna look like. I think it probably freaked my husband out more than it freaked me out."
Meanwhile actor Hank Azaria was forced to re-shoot scene after scene of his new movie The Smurfs because the fake teeth he had to wear kept flying out of his mouth.
The Godzilla star spent the first two hours of his day in the make-up chair while shooting the family comedy to transform himself into the evil character Gargamel.
But he reveals his toothy grin caused a series of delays during production because the fake dentures wouldn't stay put.
He tells us, "They gave me a set of teeth right in the special effects shop. Those teeth would fly out of my mouth a lot every time I yelled or any vibration would make them dislodge. Many a take was ruined because the teeth would come flying out, which was not a great moment."
However, there was one part of his character's behaviour that Azaria had fun with: playing around with his feline co-stars - although he assures animal lovers the pets were well looked after on set.
He says, "I find them amusing and I enjoyed throwing cats in the movie. No cats were harmed I must say but I did get to toss the cat quite a lot. The good thing is cats don't care because they just land on their feet and move on as if they meant it to happen."
