Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn't even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

Wow, dumbass kid I was I never realized he played both roles. I guess he did a great job acting.

Edit: also still trying to figure out who the third character the was, lol

Edit 2: oh, it's Fat Bastard isn't it.

He also played the aptly-named Goldmember.

Yes and the baby eating lines were ad libbed so the reaction is genuine, no one expected it.

You forget he also played Goldmember in the third movie.

How did he gain and lose all that weight so fast to play both??

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 5 points 14 hours ago

Lots of corned beef in order to both gain weight and acclimate to the role of being a Scottish Fat Bastard.

Fat Bastard

Ding - crazy good prosthetics, right?

Yeah, it occurred to me after I thought about his voice and that fake Scottish accent of his. Pre-Shrek Shrek.
