Is Mad Men actress "PeeIng Pants" funny?
Well, no, AMC's hit drama about advertising agency executives in the 1960s wasn't a comedy. But Alison Brie — who played Trudy Campbell in the 2007-2015 show — once peed on the set and accidentally wet her belt.
Brie recently admitted on Justin Lang's podcast: "In Mad Men, there was a pee incident." She explains: "We were wearing tunics... It was basically like cycling shorts, worn all the way to our ribs, and well in keeping with the fashion trends of the period. ”
Mad Men is known for its period-inspired scenes and costumes, and everything is as accurate as possible. But women in the '60s still urinated in the toilet, right? Yes, for convenience, to go through a small hole in the crotch of the belt, those clothes are difficult to take off completely, understand?
Unfortunately, Brie accidentally plugged that hole with modern lingerie. "I didn't know that in the first season of Mad Men, you really couldn't wear lingerie in it because they were already underwear," she said, recalling one day when she was on set, which caused a lot of trouble. "I rushed into the bathroom... I tried to pull the hole open, but I didn't pull my panties aside, so I was urinating and didn't hear it touching the clothes, and then I just felt the warmth. ”
"Mad Men was my first real job, so I never wanted to be a problematic person," Brie said. So she said she "just laid a bunch of toilet paper on top" and went on shooting. "They're waiting for me... I didn't want to lose my job," she recalled.
Don't worry, everything will be fine: before costume designer Catherine Jane Bryant asked Brie what was wrong, Brie filmed it several times, and she admitted it. Apparently, this had happened before, and Bryant soon offered Brie a new belt. And she said, "She's so nice."
Of course, Alison Brie went on to become the heroine of Mad Men, Community, and later GLOW. This shows that if you are willing to wet your pants for art, good things may also come to you!
