13 Actors who forgot their participation in series and movies because of all the things that happened to them then

Who among us has not been marked by a performance, a series, a movie? Sometimes these stories are so deep, or just what we need at the time, that it is impossible for them to be erased from our memory.

And normally we would expect this to be the case for actors. After all, they spend most of their days on film sets, memorizing dialogue and perfecting their facial expressions to give a masterful performance. However, this is not always the case and they too forget their most impressive projects. Here are 13 famous actors who do not remember the filming of any (or several) of their roles.

1. Frankie Muniz

In 2017, during his appearance in Dancing with the stars, Frankie admitted that he remembers almost nothing of his childhood, including the filming of the famous series Malcolm in the middle. The actor associates his memory loss with a series of brain injuries and concussions he has had throughout his life.

The truth is that I don’t remember much [de ‘Malcolm en el medio’ ]. It almost feels like it’s not me and it makes me a little sad. I have managed to do everything I really wanted to do. But the truth is, I don’t remember much of that.

2. John Boyega

John Boyega played Officer Leroy Logan on the TV series Small Axe. Officer Leroy is not a fictional character, he is a British author and activist against racial violence and the actor said in an interview with Radio Times that he does not recall filming the scenes in which Officer Leroy finds racist graffiti on his locker.

I don’t remember recording that scene. I just remember being very angry. I did not see the locker previously, so my reaction was completely natural and according to my interpretation, to the decisions that I thought he would make.

3. Brie Larson

His performance in Room made her the winner of an Oscar for Best Actress, but Brie does not remember recording one of the most heartbreaking scenes, which we will not detail here in case you feel like watching the film, we will only say that it is a very intense sequence that involves physical effort.

I had a very strong adrenaline rush and was running through the snow in socks wearing only pants, a tank top and no bra. And at one point I slipped and fell on the ice, and at some point I guess I hit my head. I remember waking up with bruises and having no idea how I got them, until my co-stars called me to see if I was okay, and I started putting the pieces together of what had happened.

4. Michael J. Fox

In 2015, the actor admitted that his memories of filming Going back to the future They are not as clear as they should and the reason is that he was shooting another movie simultaneously so the details merge in his mind.

When I recorded ‘Returning to the Future’, I was recording ‘Family Ties’ simultaneously. So I recorded one during the day and one at night, and therefore everything is confusing. I mean, I saw the movie and I was like, ‘Oh! Is that what we were doing? ‘

5. Matthew Perry

In an interview with BBC Radio In 2016, the actor explained that because during the filming of the iconic series Friends she had substance abuse problems, she doesn’t remember much about it. When asked what was his favorite moment of the shoot, this was his answer:

Oh Lord. I think the answer is that I don’t remember three years of him. So none of them… somewhere between seasons 3 and 6. For a while I wasn’t very focused.

6. Raven Symoné

Raven Symoné appeared in The Cosby Show from the age of four to six and recently admitted that she doesn’t remember much of the shoot, which upset her so much that she decided to explore it in therapy.

I don’t remember a scene. He does not remember anything, not a rehearsal or a camera. As soon as the cameras start recording something goes off and I just do what I’m trained to do. When I turned 18, I knew this was not normal and I treated it in therapy, and it turns out they are episodes of dissociation.

7. Ethan Embry

The cult film actor I can’t wait anymore admitted in 2013 during an interview with VH1 He does not remember the filming of the film due to substance abuse.

When we record [‘Ya no puedo esperar’], he was the biggest drug addict in the world. I remember the director coming up to me to ask if I was ‘upset’. But, from then on, I don’t remember anything because I was drugged all the time.

8. Avan Jogia

The actor was part of the cast of the successful show of Nickelodeon Victorious, along with celebrities like Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies, and Victoria Justice. Although Victorious was very popular at the beginning of the last decade, Avan confessed in a TikTok video that he does not remember anything about it. The reason? Possibly hangovers.

When you don’t remember anything about the plot of your show, but you do remember to party every night.

9. Courteney Cox

Last year, the actress admitted in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel that she knows absolutely nothing about Friends, but he tried to remedy this by quarantining by having a marathon of the show he starred in.

I don’t even remember being on the show. I have a terrible memory. Obviously I remember loving everyone and having fun, and certain moments, but I don’t remember episodes.

10. Malcolm McDowell

According to the protagonist of A clockwork orange, who has an impressive filmography of more than 300 films, does not remember recording or appearing in most of them.

People stop me on the street and say, ‘Oh, we loved you in such a movie,’ and I said, ‘Sorry, that wasn’t me.’ And they show me a photo on their phone or the DVD cover and, certainly, there I am. And I don’t remember doing it.

11. Colin Farrell

The actor has opened up more than once about his addiction problems. In 2013 he said that he does not remember anything about the last film he made before going to rehab, Miami Vice.

From the last movie I made before going to rehab, I can tell that I was not doing well. It’s interesting because I can’t remember a single take. I was at the premiere and didn’t know what was going to happen next. But it was very weird, because I was on the screen. In the precise second that filming ended, they put me on a plane to send me to rehab while everyone celebrated the end of filming.

12. Sarah Jessica Parker

In 2018, the actress revealed in an interview with Stephen Colbert that she doesn’t remember much from the filming of the beloved Halloween movie. Hocus Pocus and that he spent much of this resting on the broom and reading.

They said ‘cut’ and everyone was going to eat or change their glasses, and I would stay up there [en la escoba]. I found that I could keep a ‘New York Times’ in the back of the corset, and the harness was comfortable, so I would sit up there reading the ‘Times’ while people took their breaks. I do not remember much. I mean, I remember the shoot, but I don’t remember what the movie is about. I have been told that there are three witches and, apparently, my character is not very bright. But I fly and sing and I think I like to suck lives … do I think I like to kill children?

13. Daniel Kaluuya

His role as Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton in the film Judas and the black messiah it earned him his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but some of the scenes were so powerful that Daniel doesn’t remember filming them.

It was as if the crowd were my stage partner. What President Fred represented was an amazing narrative. To be one with the people, to speak to the people, and it was as if the whole world was gone. I can’t even remember the takes.
