Austin Abrams had studio security called on him while filming Whalefall because he looked so unwell. The actor currently has two survival tales in theaters, and both ask a lot of his body. Whalefall, directed by Brian Duffield, arrived on October 16 and follows Jay Gardiner, a college student who ends up inside a sperm whale. Abrams, however, found the strangest moment of the whole process entirely outside the whale.

While audiences fear the whale inside the movie, Abrams managed to alarm the people paid to keep the studio safe.

Austin Abrams looked so rough as Jay Gardiner that security at Radford Studios in Studio City was called on him. The look fits the story, since Jay grows more distressed as his oxygen supply runs low.

“There’s a point where Jay gets visibly more distressed and blown-up looking,” Abrams told The Hollywood Reporter.

He then added, “I remember walking around the lot during that time and having security called on me.”

Preparation for Whalefall went well beyond the set, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Abrams earned scuba certifications and wore diving gear around his neighborhood to get used to the weight. He also visited a sperm whale sanctuary on a Caribbean island, where the animals appeared for him after skipping the previous nine days. Filming meant half a dozen crew members tossing him around inside a cramped practical whale stomach set.

Whalefall tested Abrams underwater, but Resident Evil had a surprise of its own, and it weighed 150 pounds and came full of b----.

Austin Abrams narrowly escaped being crushed by a 150-pound bag of b---- during the second act of Resident Evil. Director Zach Cregger told IGN the moment was never meant to be that close, though he admitted it still looks great. Abrams also told IGN that he barely registered what had happened at the time. He only learned how close he was to a fatal accident after the scene had wrapped.

That take made the final cut, so audiences see a moment of real danger on screen. The b---- bag was not the only hit Abrams absorbed, since he also split his head open during an elevator leap in the third act. The pain paid off at the box office, with the film grossing $324 million worldwide against a reported $75 million budget. Even so, the strangest reaction to Abrams came from studio security, who were called over his unwell look on the Whalefall.
