Chavy Chase Relentlessly Made Fun Of 1 Brat Pack Member For Going Through Puberty
HuffPost
The ’80s star sarcastically recalled that the taunting “made me feel really good about it on set.”
Chevy Chase likes to punch down so much that he’ll even take jabs at a kid.
The cast of the 1983 movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation” gathered for a reunion at Fan Expo Chicago earlier this month, and Anthony Michael Hall had a fun little story about how Chase’s hostility wasn’t just aimed at an animatronic moose by the end of filming.
In the beloved John Hughes comedy, Chase plays family patriarch Clark Griswold, who’s utterly obsessed with two things: driving his family cross-country to a fictional theme park called Wally World and toying with the idea of cheating on his wife (Beverly D’Angelo) with a blond bombshell (model Christie Brinkley) he keeps bumping into throughout their road trip. Hall and Dana Barron played Clark’s kids, Rusty and Audrey, respectively.
Hall, who was 14 years old during filming, prefaced his story at the expo by explaining that more than half a year after shooting wrapped, the cast had to come back and reshoot the ending because the original one tested poorly with audiences, per Entertainment Weekly.
“Puberty kicked in for me,” Hall recalled, per EW. “I was a foot taller and like a different kid.”
