While Gage, 28, promoted his new movieRoad Houseduring an appearance onSiriusXM’sThe Jess Cagle Show, the actor shared that he recently completed filming onSmile 2, the sequel to 2022’s horror hitSmile— and said that the new film is so intense that he once grew physically ill while filming.
“I’m so scared to give any spoilers away. I just — if you love the first movie, you’re gonna love this one,” he said. “It’s so terrifying. It was the first time I’ve ever been on a set where I was genuinely afraid, and I actually got sick to my stomach in one take.”
