As much as we like to imagine that movies are “real” for the 2 hours we get to enjoy them, sometimes we forget that these films are merely a “job” for the crew involved in them. It’s hard to believe our favorite characters are real people with real emotions and senses of humor. That’s why when you get behind the scenes shots juxtaposed with actual film footage on set, it can be pretty entertaining. The pictures below will remind you of this phenomenon.
