Elephant diarrhoea, rattlesnakes, orgies, projectile vomiting, cocaine being snorted off someone’s naked body, and Brad Pitt falling off a balcony.
That’s just some of the decadent debauchery seen in Damien Chazelle’s (La La Land and Whiplash) Babylon, featuring Margot Robbie, Tobey Maguire, Brad Pitt, and Jean Smart, to name a few.
The film chronicles the unbridled degeneracy and depravity of early Hollywood as the industry transitions from silent movies to talkies and it is truly a wild ride with some of the most intense movie scenes ever.
Margot plays Nellie LaRoy, an aspiring actress, while her fellow co-star, newcomer Diego Calva plays Manny Torres, a film assistant who has big dreams.
The two of them sat down with BuzzFeed to answer all our burning questions about the vice-filled film, with Margot revealing what the actors snorted and smoked on set.
Have a look-see:
There you have it, when you see “cocaine” being snorted in TV shows and movies, it’s usually just vitamin B powder or powdered baby laxatives, while the cigarettes are usually funny-smelling herbal cigs.
Learning about the behind-the-scenes antics and tactics used to bring these movie productions to life is always fascinating.
Watch the trailer for Babylon if you haven’t already:
It’s currently playing at the Labia Theatre if you want to catch the action on the big screen.
