Julia Stiles NYC

Here's a story about an actress who was given laxatives instead of aspirin, while filming in a foreign land.

Julia Stiles was mortified while shooting a critical scene for The Omen in the Czech Republic when she found out she had mistakenly been given laxatives instead of headache medicine. The star went to a local pharmacy to pick up a bottle of aspirin, but because of the language barrier, her request was lost in translation.

She explains, "Czech might as well be Chinese to me. I always try and learn a little bit of the language when I go to a different country. I know how to say hello and good morning. You wouldn't think little ordinary things would be so difficult. I went to the pharmacy and I needed some aspirin, so I made the sign of needing to take a pill and having a headache. This woman gave me a bottle of pills and I didn't think about it. We had an important scene to shoot and I had a headache and I took the aspirin."

She added, "A couple hours into shooting I said, 'Oh, God something really is wrong here.' I talked to the first assistant director, who was bilingual, and she said, 'Oh no, that's not aspirin! That's a laxative!' Needless to say I know the Czech word for laxative now."


Now if would substitute Lindsay Lohan's name for Julia Stiles' name, I think we probably wouldn't believe that any error was made.

..........and we should care about this non-talent because?

Seems that all the real stars know how to keep their shit under wraps (excuse the pun).

Most people in Checoslavakia speak German or English...
Couldn't she have asked in German?
