Omri Katz Was High While Making Hocus Pocus

You know Omri Katz from Hocus Pocus — he performed Max Dennison.

Well, it seems that Omri turned to a totally different form of magic — particularly the cannabis-based sort — for his efficiency within the movie.

In an Entertainment Weekly roundtable interview with the celebrities of the unique movie, Omri — who was 16 on the time of filming — revealed that he was stoned whereas taking pictures a few of the movie.

“That was at an age where I started experimenting with cannabis,” he stated. “Let’s just say, some of those scenes, I was having a good old time.”

Omri says he was “misperforming” and “not hitting my keys or marks” because of this — and others, like director Kenny Ortega, actually seen.

“Kenny comes up to me and practically grabs me by the shirt, and he was like, ‘Are you high?’ and I was like, ‘No,’ and of course, I was. We got it done, but that was kind of a wake-up call, like, ‘Omri, you’ve got to be a little more professional and make sure you hit your cues!'”

After former costar Vinessa Shaw reminded Omri that Kenny confronted him throughout a scene during which Bette Midler zaps him with bolts, Omri replied, “Yeah, but I didn’t look like I was getting zapped. I looked like I was getting high.”
