Many understood: the beast got out of hand on the set of the film “Features of the National Hunt”

When working on the script for the famous comedy, Alexander Rogozhkin decided to involve an animal, because the film is still about hunting. Initially, the choice fell on a huge boar, but the experts explained to the director that he was not amenable to training at all, it would be better to take a bear. It helped a bit.

The little bear cub Borya not only bit several members of the film set, but also chose a victim from the main characters of the picture. It turned out to be Semyon Strugachev, who somehow did not like the animal. At every opportunity, he tried to offend the actor. In the episode where the hunters are shot with a drunk beast and he grabs Semyon, the actor’s emotions are completely sincere, writes “Dom Kino”.

But Viktor Bychkov, like his Kuzmich, immediately found a common language with nature and the beast. He constantly treated him to some sweets, and by the end of the filming, the bear cub met him with joy, all the time trying to lick his hand.
