Spitting in the drink


There was no cut in the take after the boy spit into the old man's drink. Did they switch cups when he turned his back to the camera? Or did the man actually drink the kid's spit? Funny scene either way.

Similar scene in Gone Girl.

Exactly my thoughts. That was some brave acting! I wouldn't ever drink another male's spit even if paid millions. A woman can pretty much blow her nose in my mouth though, no problem.

I am guessing it was a Hollywood sleight-of-hand somehow.
