If you shoot a film with Seann William Scott, expect to get hit - hard - by on-set pranks.
Especially if your nickname happens to be “McLovin.”
Scott tells WWTW he put a dead fish in the car of his “Role Models” co-star Paul Rudd during the shoot, and the actor finally found out a whole week and a half later.
(Scott says Rudd got his revenge later by unleashing some foul-smelling material - dirty diapers - in Scott’s film trailer.)
But that was nothing compared to how Scott tormented McLovin — his “Role Models” co-star Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
“McLovin got his pretty bad,” Scott says with a smirk.
The wardrobe staffers sewed Mintz-Plasse’s pants tighter and tighter during the shoot to make him think he was gaining weight and sewed change in his pockets as well. And someone put dog excrement in his shoes one day.
Then Scott took over.
“I left him really mean messages saying that I was gonna hurt him,” he recalls, Stifler’s maniacal smile beaming out. “I said, ’playing practical jokes is one thing, but you’ve gone too far.”
Actors and crew members played along, asking Mintz-Plasse what he did to piss Scott off.
“Nothing! Nothing!” the teen cried, according to Scott.
”It was almost too much … you forget he‘s 18,” Scott says.
Scott expects some, but likely not all, of the fun and games could make it to a “Role Models” DVD release some day.
