Spade on Comedy Set Pain: Standing is the Real Stunt

Filming for the upcoming movie Grown Ups 3 recently presented unexpected challenges for its stars, including David Spade and Chris Rock. Spade detailed a particularly taxing two-day shoot that involved the main cast standing in a single position for extended periods while filming a scene. The experience proved difficult for the actors, many of whom are in their late 50s or early 60s, as they could not shift their positions due to camera movements.

This prolonged discomfort led to shared conversations among the cast about their various physical ailments. The second day of filming was reportedly even more draining than the first, prompting discussions about the hard cement floor and the effectiveness of their footwear. The cast even explored a peculiar theory about the floor hardening overnight. Despite these production difficulties, Grown Ups 3 is scheduled for release on Netflix in 2027, with the original cast expected to return.
