Eating Meat for the Movie
In the new movie Death of a Unicorn, there are some funny and strange food scenes. One big scene shows a man named Odell Leopold, played by Richard E. Grant, eating something called ‘unicorn meat.’
But in real life, he did not eat a real unicorn. The movie team used steak instead. Richard E. Grant said in an interview that he had to eat a lot of steak for the scene.
The movie Death of a Unicorn will come out in theaters in the U.S. on March 28, 2025.
Jenna Ortega said, “Richard ate 17 steaks. We kept laughing and calling it ‘meat slops.’ I will never forget it.”
Yes, Paul Rudd was very surprised by how serious Richard E. Grant was about the ‘unicorn meat’ scene. In an interview, Rudd said they filmed the scene many times, so Grant had to eat a lot of steak—almost 20 steaks!
Rudd also said that Grant kept eating even when the camera was not on him. He really wanted to make the scene look real. This story shows how actors work very hard for their roles, even when it means eating a lot of food. It also makes the behind-the-scenes of Death of a Unicorn funny because the movie is magical, but Grant was just eating real steak!
85 Blackberries: A Funny Problem
Téa Leoni had a different problem. She had to eat 85 blackberries in one scene.
She joked, “People think eating meat is hard, but I had to eat all those blackberries. I had stomach problems for days!”
Will Poulter laughed and said, “Between Richard and Téa, we followed the Atkins diet!”
Pistachio Trick Shots
At first, they played a small game. But later, it became a big competition. Paul Rudd and Richard E. Grant played this game too. They tried to throw pistachios into a basket. The goal was simple—put the pistachios in the basket. But soon, they all wanted to win.
It is funny to see how they went from acting in a movie to playing this easy game. This shows that actors have free time on set. They find fun things to do. This game also helped them relax and become good friends.
That is a fun story about the pistachio game! It shows how a simple game can turn into a big competition.
Paul Rudd said the game had high stakes. If someone missed, the count reset. This made the game more intense, and people blamed each other for mistakes. It must have been a serious but funny moment off-camera.
Rudd also mentioned Will, who was very good at the game. This made others want to win even more.
Richard E. Grant took the game very seriously, just like he did when eating all that steak. He seems to put full effort into everything he does, even a small game.
This story gives a fun look at how the actors spent their free time. It also makes people more excited for Death of a Unicorn, knowing the cast had fun together.
