    Just watched this last night, and it remains so creepy. I don’t care for it one bit.

    My roommate remarked: “ew, what do you call bestiality, but like for fruit”. I had no witty response

      How could you, that’s one of the most confounding statements ever made in the human language.

      Vegephilia? Does it need to be fruit specific?

        I’ve always been curious to know what direction that actor was given for that scene. “Don’t just eat that tomato. Eat it in such a nasty, graphic way that it’ll make people uncomfortable for decades to come.”

          Peter Jackson didn’t even ask him to eat like that, he just started doing it and they were too scared to stop filming.

            Dude was just destroying his lunch and Peter Jackson whispered, “shhh… get the camera.”

                Oddly enough, it’s not even that far off from what really happened:

                What happened was that director Peter Jackson was watching Noble munch on these delicacies as part of his rehearsals, and for the sake of continuity, Noble had to make sure that there’s a sort of rhythm to the way he ate the food. Jackson got notably excited with the cherry tomato bit, and that was how the scene made its appearance.

                “So I’m sitting there thinking, ‘ok…with this food I’m going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…1, 2, 3, 4, 5…’, so I could repeat it, the timing would be perfect. Jackson must’ve been watching through the monitors and he saw me squirt something out of the side of my mouth. He got terribly excited! He ran on to the set and said, ‘mate, what you just did there?” ” What was that, mate?” “When you squirted…can you do that?’ I said ‘yes’. ‘Can you go like hmff?’ I go, ‘yes’. He got terribly excited and waddled away again. That’s how that actually came about, because he was watching me rehearse to try and get my continuity right,” said Noble.

                  Acting seems kinda hard sometimes. Like it can be hard I guess. Like rehearsing eating in the right rhythm to not fuck-up continuity in shots.
