By now you’ll have all heard of Joanna Wietrzyk, the HYROX athlete of explosive diarrhea fame. While the public health and biohazard issues she caused were obviously unsafe, it turns out having an accident while working isn’t totally uncommon.
In fact, many celebs, from actors to singers, have admitted to relieving themselves on the job. Here are some of their stories:
Jim O’Heir’s stomach bug got the better of him on set, and it made the final cut.
Ed Sheeran may be in the midst of the biggest shitstorm of his career, but he’s had more of a literal one before.
Taylor Kitsch was next to the bathroom when he pooped in the audition room.
John Rhys-Davies couldn’t hold it in on set, and an entire scene had to be changed in Raider’s of the Lost Ark because of Harrison Ford’s stomach issues.
Ford however, was so ill with dysentery that it gave him awful diarrhea, meaning he “found it really difficult to be out of his trailer for more than 10 minutes at a time.”
