Miriam Margolyes, who played Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter film series, thinks action star Arnold Schwarzenegger is full of hot air.
In a recent appearance on the podcast I've Got News For You, Margoyles claimed the famed actor and former California governor "deliberately" farted in her face while filming the movie End of Days together. "He's a bit too full of himself, and I don't care for him at all," Margolyes said when speaking about A-list celebrities she hadn't enjoyed working with during her career. "He's a Republican, which I don't like, and he was actually quite rude. He farted in my face. Now, I fart, of course, I do. But I don't fart in people's faces. He did it deliberately, right in my face."
Margolyes -- who referred to Schwarzenegger as "the wrestler from Austria," -- went on to say that she didn't remember the exact day when the action star broke wind, but the incident had occurred in Los Angeles during a scene where her character fought his in End of Days. "I was playing Satan's sister and he was killing me, so he had me in a position where I couldn't escape and [was] lying on the floor," Margolyes said. "And he just farted. It wasn't on film; it was in one of the pauses, but I haven't forgiven him for it." Schwarzenegger has yet to respond to the allegations.
End of Days is a supernatural horror film released in 1999. It featured Schwarzenegger as a New York City cop attempting to stop the conception of the Antichrist. Margolyes appeared in the movie as Mabel, the guardian of the woman intended to bear Satan's child. Margolyes and Schwarzenegger exchange blows and grapple with each other in a burning apartment during one memorable scene, and at one point, Schwarzenegger smashes Margolyes through a piano bench -- which may have resulted in the farting incident Margolyes mentioned in the podcast.
Schwarzenegger most recently reprised his role as the T-800 Terminator in 2019's Terminator: Dark Fate and will appear in the upcoming Kung Fury 2, which is currently in post-production.
Margolyes last appeared in the 2020 Australian film Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears and is known to international audiences for her roles in 2002's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2.
