Filming 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' proved to be quite the adventure for actor Josh O'Connor. He humorously likened the experience to being 'punked' by the relentless rain machines that seemed to have a personal vendetta against him, drenching him while his co-star Daniel Craig remained dry.
Josh O'Connor recently appeared on screen in the film ‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.’ Opening about his feature in the film, he shared that often times he would feel ‘punked’ on the sets.
He pointed out that the rain machines were too powerful, and he always felt like he was covered in mud and water.

The star recently had an interview with Entertainment Weekly, where he opened up about how tough it was to film some of the scenes in the murder mystery film. He shared that the rain machines that were being used on set were too powerful and he always felt that he was covered in mud and rain, whereas his co-star, Daniel Craig and the lead of the film were not.He candidly added, “The rain machines were absolutely extraordinary. But I felt like I was being punked every day. It was like, 'And then get the rain machine in,' and I'd be like, 'I don't think it was raining in the script.' And they were like, 'No, no, Josh, it's raining.' It always seemed to be raining on me and never on Daniel Craig, which really wound me up.”He laughed about the situation and shared that while at the time it was too hard to film, it was a sacrifice that he was willingly taking. It was the opportunity of working with Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson that kept him going through the tough times.
