Ben Affleck Says He Vomited Between Takes While Filming a Key Armageddon Scene

His Fox 32 account during promotion for Netflix’s The Rip matches Michael Bay’s past recollections.

Overview

  • Affleck says he had food poisoning when he shot an emotional moment opposite Bruce Willis on the 1998 film.
  • He recalls vomiting between takes and using a trash can kept on set.
  • He explains he worked through the illness because, early in his career, he didn’t realize he could call in sick.
  • Director Michael Bay previously recounted that Affleck was sick during the climactic shoot and that a bucket was kept nearby.
  • The comments were made to Jake Hamilton of Fox 32 Chicago as Affleck promotes The Rip, as he also reflected on the ensemble and Willis’ graciousness on set.
