Alan Cumming Recalls 'Nightmare' Stunt On James Bond Set: 'I Couldn't Move'
HuffPost
"Just another day at the office," Cumming joked about a moment in 1995's "GoldenEye" that involved dry ice, firemen and a lot of memorable pain.
Alan Cumming truly suffered to make his James Bond villain memorable.
The classically trained actor naturally jumped at the chance to star opposite Pierce Brosnan in the 007 film “GoldenEye” (1995) but still remembers an excruciating injury he sustained while filming the death of his character, the smarmy Russian hacker Boris Grishenko.
While fans still fondly recall him getting frozen to death by gallons of computer coolant — only moments after he confidently declares, “I am invincible” — Cumming felt anything but indestructible when he was tied into place on set in order for dry ice (mimicking the coolant on screen) to land on the actor without him falling over.
“So what happened was they chucked the big thing of dry ice, but it was lumps of dry ice, which then stuck to my head and burned my scalp,” he told Vanity Fair in a video released Wednesday. “And I couldn’t move because I had this rubber band around my waist.”
“So I’m there going like, ’Ah, ah! This is [hurting], ow, ow!” Cumming continued.
