Seems there was some drama on the set of The Fighter this week. A medic had to be called for an eye injury, but it wasn't part of the script.
If you have been closely following the coverage of this film, then you are well aware that High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell is playing a major role. The HBO documentary released in the mid-90s has been the CliffNotes for director David O. Russell.
Apparently, Boo Boo from Crack Street will make a cameo in The Fighter staring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale.
Boo Boo is no stranger to stardom after smoking crack and stealing golf clubs all while the HBO cameras were rolling. That came naturally to the Lowellian, however kissing actress Amy Adams proved a tad more difficult.
A source on the set says Boo Boo was asked to appear in a scene with Adams where he leans in for a kiss. Instead of planting one on the starlet, Boo Boo poked her right in the eye. A person on the set said Adams was hurt, falling to the ground and a medic had to come check out her injury before the scene was redone.
We sure hope Boo Boo's scene doesn't end up on the cutting room floor. Sounds comical. Maybe it will make the behind the scenes portion of the DVD.
HAHAHA! I was on the set when this happened and I think it really funny how things get so blown up!! Whoever this source was must of been high on crack!
The only truth to this story is that Amy Adams got poked in the eye. First of all, it wasn't Boo Boo that poked her in the eye , it was an extra that was cast as a drunk patron. She did not fall to the ground, and there was no medic called!
The scene called for the drunk patron to reach over the bar and for her to push him away. He accidentley poked her in the eye, she asked them to pause for a minute, that was it.
