Pete Davidson risked ‘real damage' to his eye on The Home
Pete Davidson risked 'real damage' to his eye filming The Home xThe 31-year-old star was shocked to discover that one particular scene in his new horror movie, which entailed a needle being held above his peeper while it was held open, wouldn't be done using CGI - and grew even more worried when he arrived on set for filming to see a team of three doctors looking 'a little concerned'.
Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he said: 'Obviously, I read the script and was just like, 'That won't be my eye.
This is the movies. It'll be a CGI eye.'
You can bring people back from the dead and put them in a movie. That's not my eye.' Of seeing the doctors on set, he added: 'I'm like, 'What's going on?' And my buddy James [DeMonaco], who directed it, he's like, 'Yeah, well. They're here for your eye.'
'And I was like, 'What do you mean?' He goes, 'Well, you know, today's that scene.' I go, 'I know, but what do you mean?' He's like, 'Well, it's going to be your eye.' 'He goes, 'You have very recognisable eyes.' I go, 'What the hell are you talking about? No I don't. My eyes are normal, sir.' '
Pete tried unsuccessfully to argue that no one would expect it to be his eye in the scene but ultimately found himself with it being held open in a way he compared to A Clockwork Orange.
He continued: 'They open my eye or whatever, and it's all... It's all jacked up. And there's these three doctors on the side, and then this actor was messing up his lines. And I was like, 'Come on, dude.'
' And while they filmed, Pete heard a doctor warn the director: 'Yeah, about 30 more seconds, there's going to be some real damage.'
He continued: 'So I take the thing off. I'm like, you know, squirting it with water and stuff, I'm like, 'What the hell just happened?'
'Then we're watching it in video village, and the director goes, 'Yeah, it didn't have to be your eyes.' I was like, 'Dude...'
' Despite his struggles with the scene, the former Saturday Night Live star relished the chance to do 'just a straight horror movie'.
He added: 'I had a really good time, and it was just weird. It's a weird one.'

Nicolas Cage reveals why Sarah Jessica Parker relationship didn't work out
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Nicolas Cage didn't pass 'the Mom test' with Sarah Jessica Parker. The 61-year-old actor has opened up about his short lived romance with the Sex and the City star in the late 1990s, and he joked that their relationship fizzled out after her met her mother for the first time. He told E! News in a statement: 'I cared about Sarah, but I don't think I passed the Mom test. 'I recall sitting down with her and her mother for dinner at the Russian Tea Room, and I don't know if it was my blue Vanson Leather motorcycle jacket (which I still have) or my sinusitis, but I didn't hear from her again.' Over the weekend, Sarah revealed they started dating around the time they were filming together for 1992 rom com Honeymoon in Vegas. She confirmed the rumours on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, he he asked: 'Did you date Nic Cage?' She replied: 'Yes, I did.' The host, who is close friends with Sarah, quipped: 'Oh wow. We've got some talking to do!' During the chat, she also revealed she was the first to say 'I love you' to 63-year-old Lion King star Matthew. Sarah has also dated Michael J. Fox, Chris Penn, and Robert Downey Jr. The 6 0 -year- old And Just Like That actress now has children James, 22, and 16-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion with husband Matthew Broderick. Sarah recently admitted she thinks not being a 'Hollywood couple' has helped her marriage. The couple tied the knot in 1997, and she believes not speaking much about her personal life and being under the radar in New York has been key to their long-lasting romance. Asked the secret to her happy marriage, she told Britain's HELLO! magazine: 'Probably that I don't talk about it! It really is a secret. 'But maybe it's because we're not a Hollywood couple. We live in New York – maybe that's good.'

John Cena loves a traditional fish and chips
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles John Cena absolutely loves fish and chips and a Full English Breakfast. The 48-year-old actor has been over to the UK a lot over the past two decades during his time as a WWE superstar, and he's embraced the local cuisine to the point that he went for a very traditional meal before Tuesday's Heads of State world premiere in London. Appearing on ITV daytime show This Morning, he said: 'I enjoyed [fish and chips] so much that right before our premiere last night, we had about 90 minutes and myself and my two friends, all from America, we sat down, we ordered fish and chips, we had a pint, and that got us ready for the world premiere.' John - who revealed he went for vinegar and a little bit of dunking in the tartar sauce' - got more of a taste for a chippy after the dish plays a role in his new movie with Idris Elba. The Hollywood star also opened up on his admiration for a 'savoury breakfast', which he learned to love during his early WWE days. He added: 'All savoury! In America, we tend to lean on the sweet. It's all very filling, but very sweet. Boy, do I love a savoury breakfast! 'I've been a fan of the English breakfast for a long time - you gotta remember, with WWE, I've being coming over here for 25 years.' Although the lines between real life and art have been blurred with his food preferences, John insisted that won't be the case after he played the President of the United States in the new action comedy. He quipped: 'I am playing the role of the president of the United States. I would much rather play the role of President of the United States than BE the President of the United States. I'm happy in my lane!' When This Morning host Ben Shephard joked that real life president Donald Trump often appears to be playing a role too, the wrestling legend kept his response diplomatic.
