There is a second throughout “George of the Jungle” the place George (Brendan Fraser) fearlessly climbs the towering construction of the Bay Bridge to rescue a trapped parachuter. However as reported by Entertainment Weekly, the actor revealed not everybody acquired the memo a film stunt was being staged. When out of the loop bystanders seemed up and noticed what gave the impression to be a physique dangling precariously above them — they have been understandably distressed. “It introduced site visitors to a standstill on both facet of the bridge,” Fraser defined.

“There’s this dummy parachutist hanging from it. I had the TV on, and Oprah acquired interrupted as a result of there was a particular information report with helicopters saying a parachute is dangling on the bridge. And I am going — wait a minute, I am wanting on the helicopters and TV — any individual did not pull a allow, any individual’s going to get in hassle with the mayor’s workplace. So I can solely apologize for that.”
Clearly, it wasn’t prefer it was Fraser who dropped the ball.
