Raimi's Prank: Dylan O'Brien Ate a Fake Bug!

Director Sam Raimi revealed a prank played on actor Dylan O'Brien during the filming of "Send Help." O'Brien was led to believe he would eat a real insect for a survival scene.

However, Raimi had only prepared a fake bug, crafted by bakers in Thailand, which reportedly tasted like lemon meringue. O'Brien, who consulted with survivalist Ky Furneaux, was surprised by the director's elaborate setup.

Co-star Rachel McAdams also experienced intense on-set moments, including being doused with water by Raimi himself and covered in fake blood and saliva for other scenes.
