Kelly Clarkson’s innocent question about Wes Anderson’s bathtub scene sends the interview into delightful chaos.

That Awkward TV Moment

Kelly Clarkson had viewers in stitches during her recent chat with Benicio del Toro.

The conversation took an unexpected turn when discussing his bathtub scene in “The Phoenician Scheme.”

Kelly innocently asked about continuity being “real hard in that area,” which the audience immediately took the wrong way.

She jumped up, frantically waving her hands while insisting, “No, no, no!”

Behind The Bathtub Magic

Del Toro spent nearly eight hours soaking for Wes Anderson’s unique opening sequence.

The scene shows his character Zsa-zsa Korda recovering from an assassination attempt.

Staff members move around him like ballet dancers while he reads, smokes, and eats in the tub.

The slow-motion effect required everyone to move unusually fast during filming, creating a dreamlike quality.

Initially skeptical about Anderson’s technique, del Toro questioned the director’s approach.

“If you’re doing it in slow motion, we might as well shoot it normal,” he remarked.

Anderson insisted it would look different, and the actor trusted his vision despite his doubts.

Kelly couldn’t help wondering how he avoided getting pruney after just an hour, when she “prunes up like 20 minutes in.”

The unique filming method created something truly special.

Del Toro described the scene as having “this quality that is unique, kind of like a musical without dancing.”

Despite ending up with prune fingers for days afterward, he found the sequence “really cool.”

The bathtub scene perfectly showcases Anderson’s distinctive style, blending unusual choreography with striking visuals.
