She Was Actually Drowning

Think Isla Fisher’s intense, panicked performance in the water tank scene from Now You See Me was just elite acting? It was actually a terrifying real-life survival emergency. While filming the illusion, her metal chains became tangled at the bottom of the tank, trapping her underwater. She was unable to pull the quick-release switch or reach the surface. She banged frantically on the glass for help, but the crew and director simply stood by praising her “incredible acting.” It took a stunt coordinator noticing her real panic to pull her out right before she passed out.
