JAKARTA - The director of the film Men in Black, Barry Sonnenfeld revealed an interesting fact from the shooting location of the 1997 film. Starring Will Smith, the shooting location was evacuated for three hours because Smith often farted.

Thanks to the film, Will Smith became a global star who achieved success in theaters. Men in Black became the third best-selling film in 1997.

The incident began when they filmed for scenes in a car that had the ability to turn faster. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones had to be tightly closed in a place or pod that was used as a vehicle property.

"There's a key to preventing it from opening and falling. When I say 'Camera, rol' and I hear Will Smith say 'Oh God, sorry. Tommy, please answer the stairs' and Tommy says 'Just listen to Will, don't worry, calm down' but I don't know what happened, right?' said Barry Sonnenfeld in Kelly Ripa's podcast.

"So we delivered the stairs. Tommy pulled his knee and grabbed his ladder. What happened was, Will Smith was a farter," he said.

This made Tommy Lee Jones leave the pods to avoid Will Smith who kept farting until his filming location was evacuated.

You can't possibly want to sit in a closed place with Will Smith farting. You don't even want to sit next to him in the Disney game arena," Sonnenfeld continued.

We evacuated the place for up to three hours. It's amazing. He's a good guy but he (often) farts. Some often do it," he continued.

Barry Sonnenfeld also directed two Men in Black films that still starred Will Smith and were successful in theaters.
