6 Famous Actors and Actresses Who Are Real Pranksters On Set

Filming is a grueling process, requiring everybody to take so much seriousness. So the on-set ambiance tends to be extremely tense. But many stars opt to break that tension by pulling some pranks on their co-stars. Then they jazzed up the atmosphere, offering a lot of fun.
In fact, actors and actresses spend so much time with each other on the film set. Then they develop deeper friendships, sharing and understanding with each other. Just like the way close friends do, they give each other “devil” jokes. And that turned Hollywood into an abode for pranksters.
Their pranks sound very childish, which makes you surprised as the usually cool on-screen stars go jokers. Brad Pitt and George Clooney are always considered “kings of pranks”, and what happens if these two profound pranksters play each other? Keep scrolling down to explore that and also 3 other cases of pranksters on set.

#1 Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is the ultimate prankster on set. The list of his “victims” is quite long, including Jonah Hill, Matt Damon, … and especially George Clooney, who’s also a notorious prankster. While shooting Ocean’s 12 at Clooney's hometown, he sent a memo to all people there: “‘The movie is coming to town, and please only address George Clooney as Mr. Clooney or in his character name as Danny Ocean, and don’t look him right in the eyes.'”
This carried on for weeks, and George grew increasingly agitated, much to Brad's delight. But many people are ecstatic when a top-class prankster gets pranked by others.

#2 Ben Affleck

Well, it’s safe to say that Batman and Superman need to ease up now and then. Or at the very minimum, the leading characters do. When Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill filmed Batman v Superman in 2016, Affleck stuffed Batman action figures and collectibles into Cavill’s trailer. “Henry, I’m flattered. I didn’t know you were such a fan! We know #WhoWillWin.”

#3 Jimmy Fallon

Aside from his late-night show, which is full of games and skits that frequently make his celebrity guests look foolish, Fallon deserves to be listed as the prank collector on this list. He set out to find the finest pranksters in the globe in 2015 and broadcast their sneaky gags throughout the world using the hashtag #BestPrankEver on Twitter. The best pranks included using smartphone keyboard shortcuts to change the word "no" into the entirety of the Gettysburg Address and tinting mouthwash green to create stunning pearly greens.

#4 George Clooney

As aforementioned, George Clooney is a notorious prankster who has played several practical jokes on his co-stars. From duping two of his ER coworkers into doing something humiliating to convincing a buddy that his pet was constipated, he’s such an unrivaled prankster. He even staged a lavish faux wedding for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, suffice it to say how satisfied Pitt was when paying back Clooney in his hometown.

#5 Emilia Clarke and Sam Clafin

It’s obvious that a payback prank is far better than an initial prank, just like the case of “Me Before You” stars Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke. Clarke started their prank war by hiding fish in Claflin's socks while they were filming in 2015. Then Claflin returned to her, he said to People: “I stole all of her furniture from her dressing room and shoved it in mine, which I thought was pretty special.” The two of them took it up a notch.
