Sally Field doesn't often break character on set, but she recently revealed the moment that made her laugh hysterically while filming Mrs. Doubtfire.
Mrs. Doubtfire actor Sally Field reveals the moment on the set that finally caused her to break character. Field starred opposite Robin Williams in the memorable 1993 comedy, portraying his estranged wife, Miranda Hillard. Throughout the film, Williams's character attempts to win back his wife and children amid their recent divorce. He resorts to creating an alter ego, an elderly British nanny named Mrs. Doubtfire, to spend more time with his three children.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The late Robin Williams was known for his countless, hilarious roles that he was featured in for over five decades. The actor also had quite the reputation offscreen for being funny and outgoing in his personal life. He often cracked jokes while filming to entertain other cast members, but Field was not an easy audience. In an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, Field says Williams's attempts to make her break character while filming Mrs.
“It would drive him [Williams] crazy that he couldn't break me up in the scene. I just went, ‘I'm a professional, Robin… Just keep going. If you do it, I promise you, I won't laugh.’ And I never did. And towards the end, we were finishing the last sequences, which were the last part of the picture. We were around this dinner table forever [for that scene] in a restaurant. And Pierce Brosnan made this inappropriate [fart] noise on his arm. And I fell down laughing.
It is easy to see how Field may have grown tired of Williams's antics while working on Mrs. Doubtfire, considering his physical liveliness and propensity to deliver comedic lines of dialogue rapidly. However, these same qualities are also the ones that make his characters so unique and memorable.
Williams and Field Bonded Over Video Games While Filming Mrs. Doubtfire Field may not have found Williams's humor quite as entertaining as others, but the two did manage to bond over a common shared interest, Nintendo's video game Zelda. According to Field, both stars were big fans of the game and Williams would come over to her house to play it, creating some of her most cherished memories with the actor.
