January 12, 2004 — Ben Stiller was bitten on the chin by a ferret the day after a root canal and had to receive a rabies shot, while Jennifer Aniston's dancing made her feet look like "raw meat". (Let's hope the movie isn't as painful to watch as it was to make...)
Stiller recalls he was filming the final scene holding the ferret when the animal "suddenly did this crazy turn and attached itself to my chin.
"I did nothing to provoke it. He just suddenly bit and held on. It was really surreal. There I was with a ferret hanging on to my chin and they have really sharp teeth."
Stiller had just endured a root canal the day before, so his jaw was still sore from that ordeal.
"I had to get a rabies shot, which is not the most pleasant thing either, so ferrets don't exactly rank high on my list of pets."
Aniston suffered her own war wounds during the Polly shoot, but they were to her feet.
Polly is supposed to be a dynamite salsa dancer, something Aniston insists she never was and still isn't.
"I took two salsa classes. I was supposed to take more but didn't and then went straight into five days of shooting the salsa sequence," recalls Aniston.
"My feet looked like raw meat. It was truly disgusting. I really don't know how those dancers do it."
