Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn't even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

Wow, dumbass kid I was I never realized he played both roles. I guess he did a great job acting.

Edit: also still trying to figure out who the third character the was, lol

Edit 2: oh, it's Fat Bastard isn't it.

Yeah, it occurred to me after I thought about his voice and that fake Scottish accent of his. Pre-Shrek Shrek.

You forget he also played Goldmember in the third movie.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

He also played the aptly-named Goldmember.

How did he gain and lose all that weight so fast to play both??

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago

Lots of corned beef in order to both gain weight and acclimate to the role of being a Scottish Fat Bastard.

Yes and the baby eating lines were ad libbed so the reaction is genuine, no one expected it.
