Spoilers if you haven't watched the film
"I'm not gonna give anything away," actor Jake Thomas said in a TikTok from Aug. 8, "but there's a side story in the movie that deals with this chimpanzee that stars in a TV sitcom, that goes berserk, and it kills a bunch of its castmates. And the entire time I was watching it, I couldn't stop thinking of a memory [on the show Lizze McGuire] from long ago: Remember Fredo? Yeah, we had [the chimp] on for like five-something episodes."
As Jake detailed, the animal trainers on the set of the sitcom warned him, "If the chimp goes a little out of control, step away. We'll take care of it. He can kill you if you're not careful."
"That last part stuck with me, especially when I was snuggling it in bed," he said. "It's terrifying."
Thomas had earlier referred to his chimp trauma on a Reddit AMA eight years ago , saying it was the weirdest thing on the show for him. "It was just... creepy... They kept telling us that if it got scared it could kill us... It freaked out once."
