Will Smith's Fart Forces Three-Hour Evacuation

Barry Sonnenfeld, director of the 1997 blockbuster 'Men in Black', revealed on the podcast 'Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa' that the set had to be evacuated for three hours due to Will Smith's flatulence. The incident occurred while filming a scene where Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were hermetically sealed in a pod to simulate a high-speed car chase. Sonnenfeld humorously recounted Smith's apology after the mishap, noting that 'some people are just farters'. Despite the embarrassing moment, he described Smith as a 'lovely guy'. The original film grossed $584 million and significantly contributed to Smith's rise as a global superstar. Sonnenfeld directed two sequels, but neither matched the original's box office success.
