Dave Franco has lifted the lid on an outrageous moment from his latest comedy, *Idiots*, which is set to hit cinemas on August 28. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 41-year-old actor discussed a particularly memorable scene that he shot alongside his co-stars Mason Thames and O’Shea Jackson Jr.

Franco plays a character named Mark, who, along with Jackson Jr., is hired to escort a wealthy teenager named Sheridan—portrayed by Thames—to rehab. While the film promises plenty of humour and hijinks, one scene has garnered considerable attention for its shocking content.
In a candid revelation, Franco described the scene as one where “liquid’s coming out of every end of me.” He acknowledged the comedic potential, stating that he didn’t want to spoil too much before the film’s release, teasing fans with just enough information to pique their curiosity.
The comedic trio engaged in a playful exchange during the interview, highlighting some of the film’s raunchier moments. Jackson Jr. recounted a rather unorthodox experience from his first day on set, where a trucker unexpectedly discarded a bag of waste outside his vehicle. Franco cheekily noted that it was somewhat prophetic of the comedic chaos that would unfold in their film.
Thames chimed in with a joke, recounting how Franco improvised during the nasty scene, which he later affirmed was indeed one of the film’s standout moments. “Specifically his butt,” Thames quipped, as Franco laughed and recalled the memory.
Franco further shared his thoughts on filming this unforgettable moment, suggesting it fostered a sense of camaraderie among the crew. He described how making himself look ridiculous endeared him to the team, creating a shared spirit of adventure as they tackled the more outrageous elements of the film.
“We did it twice,” Franco explained about the gross-out shot. “We got it on the first take, but thought, should we add a little texture to the substance that came out of me?” This led to the cheeky decision to incorporate crushed Cocoa Krispies for added effect, eliciting more laughter from Thames and Jackson Jr.
Reflecting on the filming experience, Thames expressed how witnessing Franco in action during that particular scene was a highlight for him: “That was one of the greatest things I’ve ever witnessed.” His sentiments underscore the camaraderie that developed on set, as well as the sheer absurdity of what they were filming.
The official synopsis for *Idiots*, which originally premiered at the Sundance Film Festival under the title *The S***heads*, reads: “Two unqualified bozos are hired to transfer a rich teen to rehab when their straightforward gig quickly spirals into dangerous mayhem.” The film features a talented cast including Kiernan Shipka and renowned actors like Peter Dinklage and Nicholas Braun, further amplifying the anticipation surrounding its release.
As excitement builds for *Idiots*, the film promises audiences a unique blend of raucous humour and unexpected scenarios. With Franco’s hilarious take on gross-out comedy and Thames’s enthusiastic endorsements, it seems poised to entertain those in search of an unconventional cinematic experience.
