Will Smith accidentally deployed a biological stink bomb during the making of Men in Black, according to director Barry Sonnenfeld.

During Wednesdays episode of the podcast Lets Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, the filmmaker revealed how the set of the 1997 blockbuster had to be cleared out for hours after Smith passed some serious gas during a scene with co-star Tommy Lee Jones .

The incident went down while Smith and Jones were filming inside an airtight pod that served as the ultra-futuristic vehicle for their respective characters, Agents J and K.

As Sonnenfeld recalled on the podcast, I say, Roll camera, and I hear Will Smith go, Oh Jesus, so sorry. Tommy, so sorry. Baz, get the ladder. And you hear Tommy saying, Thats fine, Will. No worries, Will. Dont worry, Will.

While Jones was polite about his cast mates flatulence, the filmmaker said the No Country for Old Men actor practically jumped out of the pod, which was equipped with locks to prevent it from opening and falling during shots where the set piece was flipped upside down.
