In Mission: Impossible Fallout (2018), Tom Cruise stars opposite Rebecca Ferguson, who plays British secret agent Ilsa Faust.
Rebecca Ferguson was six months pregnant during filming, and she was prone to nausea. But she vomited every day in secret, for fear that she would be judged unsuitable and replaced by another actress.
During the filming of a fight scene with the film’s big bad, played by Shawn Harris, her pregnancy, however, had an unexpected and relatively embarrassing consequence…
The scene in question takes place at the end of the film. Rebecca tries to strangle Shawn Harris by pinning him between her legs.
She sits on him and has to grab her own leg and give a sharp blow, pretending to crush her opponent’s throat. The position was not comfortable and the actress had to be helped by the team to get into position.
However, at the moment when the director said action and Rebecca gave a sharp blow to her calf, the actress involuntarily let out a gigantic “vaginal fart” (a “fanny fart” in the original version) in her partner’s face.
“Poor Shawn was literally stuck between my thighs, my big breasts and my stomach,” she says. He couldn’t move. I then heard him moan: “Get me out of here!”
I said, “Sorry, man, I can’t move. You will have to take it upon yourself…”
