Brody explained that he worked as a security guard assigned to a shooting location in downtown Toronto.

He claimed that he had received a warning at the time about the Austin Powers star. Brody had been told “You can’t look at him,” even though Myers was “going to be in a wig and prosthetics.”

Myers apparently appeared in costume on Brody’s first day, and “First hour I’m there… I don’t know what he looks like yet, so I just see a man approaching, long hair, thick beard, and I think, ‘That’s Mike Myers.’ I look down, to not look at him… but I realise you can’t just let anyone into the trailer, so I look up and I catch his eye for a second,” he said.

Then, “within an hour, I get a phone call letting me know I’m fired and I have to get off the set,” Brody claims.

Brody said Myers “never said anything to me personally.”

The host was responding to a tweet that was applauding Keanu Reeves for helping staff move equipment on the set of John Wick 4.

Many responded that he shouldn’t be praised for helping out but Brody chimed in highlighting the brutal nature of working in film.
