In a revelation that left audiences in stitches, beloved British actress Miriam Margolyes recounted an unforgettable encounter with Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger that involved an unexpected gaseous emission.
The 83-year-old Harry Potter star shared the cheeky anecdote during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, recalling their time filming the 1999 apocalyptic thriller 'End of Days'.
The Moment Everything Went Bottom-Up
Margolyes described being positioned uncomfortably close to Schwarzenegger's posterior during a particularly intense scene. "I had my head right by his bottom," she confessed to Norton and his captivated audience.
The situation took an aromatic turn when the Terminator star allegedly broke wind with tremendous force. "He farted right in my face!" Margolyes exclaimed, mimicking the shocking moment with characteristic theatrical flair.
A Presidential Response
Rather than offering apologies, Schwarzenegger - who would later become Governor of California - responded with what Margolyes could only describe as "presidential" composure.
"He didn't say sorry," she revealed. "He just said, 'I have now broken wind.'" The matter-of-fact delivery left the seasoned actress simultaneously horrified and amused.
Why Margolyes Kept Silent Until Now
The story remained hidden in Margolyes' vault of celebrity encounters for over two decades. She explained that only now, with Schwarzenegger's advanced age and her own established career, did she feel comfortable sharing the flatulent faux-pas.
Margolyes, known for her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, has built a reputation for her no-holds-barred storytelling and cheeky humour that continues to endear her to audiences worldwide.
The interview segment has since gone viral, proving that even after 25 years, some stories are worth waiting for - especially when they involve Hollywood royalty and unexpected bodily functions.
