Though All-American Rejects singer Tyson Ritter is most identified for his music, he is additionally landed a number of performing gigs since his rise to fame, and Ritter not too long ago relayed how a nasty on-set dustups with the beau of a co-star really helped him with a separate movie position. That incident got here when he provided an performing suggestion to Megan Fox, solely to be confronted by her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly.
Ritter was talking with host Stryker on his Tuna on Toast With Stryker podcast (heard beneath), when he was requested about his movie Prisoner’s Daughter. It was then that Ritter relayed how his on-set confrontation then helped him get into his position of one other movie he was capturing.
The singer had been on the set of a film titled Johnny & Clyde, the place he was solid reverse Fox. He defined that one key plot level had Fox’s character teasing about placing his finger in her mouth, and he felt that an attention-grabbing callback could be for him to place his fingers in her mouth when her character died.
That suggestion set off Machine Gun Kelly, as Ritter recalled, “So I go over [to her trailer] and there’s her man in there with her. This Colson guy, who you know as Machine Gun Kelly. I call him Pistol Pete. So I go over there and I was like, ‘Hey, Megan. I wanted to talk to you about this moment where, when you die, because you’ve been teasing putting my fingers in your mouth, that when you’re dead, I put my fingers in your mouth. And it’s like this sort of resolution to my character, getting his revenge.”
At that time, MGK reportedly interjected. “He just went ballistic. It kinda went maniac mode,” Ritter recalled, including that he let MGK go wild with out returning any of the fury. “I think the whole experience for me was, ‘What the actual fuck is happening?’ He had this baby’s arm of a joint dangling out of his mouth. And he was fully unhinged.”
The incident although did really serve to assist Ritter in the long term. He was capturing Prisoner’s Daughter on the similar time with Kate Beckinsale and Brian Cox, and in that movie, Ritter was a extra violent and hostile character, so he used the latest combat as gas for entering into character. Up to that time he’d used a few of his personal relationship along with his father to spur his character’s response, however the MGK confrontation gave him a contemporary perspective.
“I was like, this is what I’ve been looking for with my character on Prisoner’s Daughter,” Ritter remembered considering whereas MGK was yelling at him. “Because the next day I had to shoot this scene in Vegas where this character goes in and confronts Kate Beckinsale, who’s his ex-wife, and he goes from zero to apeshit. And I didn’t, I was really struggling [with] how to flip that switch.”
“I remember when Pistol Pete just started going ape on me, I was like, this is really confrontational, but also thank you, dude,” Ritter concluded. “A lot of my role, in that one moment especially, it’s not only my dad being his drunkest, wildest self, but there’s a little bit of Pistol Pete in my role for ‘Prisoner’s Daughter.’”
Prisoner’s Daughter is anticipated to be launched on June 30 within the U.S., whereas Johnny & Clyde was launched earlier this month.
