was the milk blue in the original script
or was that someone’s idea as they were making the film?
share"The original blue milk was what they call long life milk, which you get at camping stores because you don’t have to refrigerate it. And we were in North Africa.
So it has additives – they put blue food colouring in it – and it was really ghastly. Oily and sweet and euch! Triggered your gag reflex. But I said, “Look – if they gave me blue milk, you bet I’m going to drink it on camera, because what other chance am I going to get?” So there’s an indication that I’m an underrated actor – I gulped it and acted like I liked it without vomiting."
