My Arse Is On Fire!

You just know you're having a good time on a movie set when you inadvertently set your bum on fire. Hardly a common occurrence but concrete evidence of hearty laughs nonetheless. Drew Barrymore was the recipient of such a flaming derriere during filming of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle when a rogue ember found its way into the star's underpants. "My butt caught on fire," she told The Sun. "An ember jumped on me when I was filming." Trying to stay professional amid the discomfort of burning cheeks is a challenge to test even the most seasoned actress, a fact Barrymore is painfully aware of. "It is so difficult to keep a straight face when your butt is burning," she said. Continuing her trend of hind-quarter injuries, Barrymore also managed to crack her tailbone while performing her characters' acrobatic fighting feats. "I thought I was invincible and refused to wear padding because I was so pumped up with adrenaline. I learned a valuable and painful lesson that day. I had to sit on a blow-up doughnut for three weeks. It was so humiliating." Those interested in seeing Drew's burning buttock trick first-hand can catch it during the outtakes that play over the film's end credits.
