Dustin Milligan Says He’d Sweat So Much On Schitt’s Creek, He’d Put Paper Towels Under His Armpits
Celebrities sweat just like us!
In a new interview with BuzzFeed, Dustin Milligan, who portrayed Ted Mullens throughout the show’s six seasons, shared one of his most embarrassing moments from the first season.
“Here’s something fun and completely embarrassing that happened in the first seasons, then, for some reason, it went away,” he says. “I’m a human being and that means that I sweat sometimes. There’s a lot of scenes in Schitt’s Creek where you may not notice this, but I’ve got paper towels crammed into my armpits. Our lovely costumer on the show would have a hairdryer ready to go, so in-between takes, I’d be standing there getting my armpits blown. I think a lot of people wouldn’t have been able to spot any sort of TV movie magic going on there. Definitely desperately avoiding any indication that I’m human and that I perspire.”
He continues, “There was actually a moment on a very hot day outside the motel, Annie [Murphy] turned around and was like, ‘I’m so proud of you!’ And I was just like, ‘What?’ Then she pointed to my armpits and said, ‘Look at that, they’re dry!’ She was very supportive.”
He added, “I just feel like I run hot. There’s been takes before where sweat has dripped from my eyebrows, down into my tear duct, and out down my face. Everyone’s like, ‘Oh my god, I couldn’t believe you produced that single tear at that moment! It was so beautiful.’ Yes, single tear. Of course. I’m a good actor! Not sweaty.”
