Lara: It was a bunch of hidden camera stuff and I had to fight the crowd. They were like, Lady who?įilmmaker: What was different about your work on Bad Grandpa? I did a Lady Gaga video before anyone knew who she was. I’ve known Joel since doing music videos. I go to the first AD, Joel Osborne’s, Super Bowl party every year. Lara: I did Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa in 2012/13, and I’ve been friends with them ever since. Then, in the Icarus scene, I’m right behind Johnny Knoxville as he’s walking up.įilmmaker: Was this your first project with the Jackass crew? Lara: The mime one, right before Jeff Tremaine gets hit with the TASER. įilmmaker: What scenes did you make on camera? Even one of the producers said they had to cut me out a few times.
They know what’s going to happen, they know the consequences but they want to get that shot-so they hold me back, and they had to do that quite a few times, I’ll tell you that. They look at the ramifications before they do them. Almost every stunt has been drawn out and looked at. They know what the outcome is going to be. On this one, you have to give it a few seconds. I’ve done a lot of shows where people do big stunts, get hurt and you run right in and help them out. įilmmaker: I was going to ask-since the cameramen are the first ones on the scene, I imagine that’s difficult, rewiring as a first responder.
Then Jeff wants me to hold back until they get their shots. We joke about it, but I get very anxious when guys get hurt. They said I have the softest hands in Hollywood. Lara: When Danger Ehren took a pogo stick to the groin, I had to go in there and grab his balls to check it out. When I went to see it on Thursday in a regular theater everybody seemed to like it too.įilmmaker: What are you seeing while watching the film that audiences aren’t aware of? We all knew it was going to be balls, dicks and semen. He prepared intensely, but found the Jackass family to be resilient as ever.Įloy Lara: Paramount didn’t want to have a big premiere, so we had a little one. Faced with potential injuries day to day, Lara had his work cut out for him. But the aging stuntmen could at least rest assured that set medic Eloy Lara was there for them in case worse turned to worst.
