Out of everything an actor can anticipate having happen in the middle of the desert, being bitten by bugs was not something Lorenza Izzo imagined would happen to her. In fact, one of her bites got so bad that the crew had to have a medic spend extra time with the actress on set. “I got bit on my bum, and that bite kept on growing and developing,” Izzo shared with The List. “And there wasn’t much to do, because I still had to wear the not-appropriate clothing, and I had to be sitting on my butt.”
But as anyone in the entertainment industry will tell you: The show must go on. Izzo applied some of the special ointment that they prescribed to her and continued to focus on becoming Blair. “That was an actual real painful situation that we laughed about the entire shoot,” she said.
As terrifying and dark as the film turned out to be, the cast could never stop themselves from making the most of it — even if they did happen to have a whole lot of bug bites. “It was wonderful,” Izzo laughed.
“The Aviary” hits theaters on Friday, April 29. The film is also available on digital and on demand the same day.
