While talking about his experience, Alan revealed that his first shot was with Pedro, who plays Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic.

During the filming he hurt the 50-year-old actor, who end up having a neck surgery.

“My first scene with Pedro. He hurt his neck and had to go home. So I broke Pedro.”

Surprised Jimmy reacted, “Mr. Fantastic hurt his neck. I thought he was made out of rubber. That doesn’t make any sense at all.”

He then asked Cumming, “Were you fighting with him at the time?”

“No no. I wasn’t fighting. I was just being”, he replied.
