Do actors all need to agree to casually smoke for some roles?
(programming.dev)
At least in the United States, smoking is something fewer and fewer people take up these days. This obviously wasn't the case back in the 50's through the 80's, where cigarettes were commonly smoked out in public.
So whenever I see a period movie or show, filmed in the 2020's but taking place in the 60's, there's frequent scenes where characters are smoking cigarettes in a bar or stress-smoking to the filter after a stressful conversation. And I think to myself, "are these actors all smokers? In this day and age? Or is that an unlit prop ciggy with VFX smoke done in post?"
Are fake cigarettes common in film production now, or are these still typically the real deal?
As far as I know, it’s usually crushed vitamin B. Shouldn’t feel like much unless you do dozens of takes.
At least that’s what they used in Mr. Robot.
Wasn’t Jonah hill hospitalized from snorting so much vitamin B in wolf of wallstreet?
Tbf, that was wolf of wall street, it's basically a three hour long line of cocaine.
Yeah I read that too.
