“The Martian” (2015) Donald Glover falls scene

Donald Glover explained on “Conan” that he fell on his first take for “The Martian” and Ridley Scott liked it so it was kept in the film. Here it is.

The way the camera stops moving as the cameraman is seeing if he’s actually okay then resuming back to shooting/moving is hilarious lmao

[mikechoe]

It's like Donald is channelling his inner Abed for this role

[damdamfino]

Honestly, praise the cameraman for not missing a beat in tracking him after the fall.

"You do realize I'm your boss, right?"

That moment when the "boss" realizes his best employee is on to something big, and rather than bug him about it, gives him the space he needs to do his job.

That's a good supervisor.

it's actually way funnier knowing that the fall wasnt scripted at all hahhaha

[jatilq]

He would or would have made a perfect Miles Morales, guy can play anything.

It's crazy how he just woke up and is already thinking. It takes at least one hour for my brain to start working in normal conditions, imagine having to wake up at 3 a.m.

[RocketPropelledMexican]

I think the reason for this accidental clip getting in isn't the fall, it's the perfectly timed and framed way he gets up immediately after.

1:22 "Do you understand that I'm your boss, right?"
"Uhu..."

Epic LOL...

You can tell the fall was unscripted because the camera followed him in one direction without panning down to him when he happened to slip.

[Riya-qbkz]

The way he says “ahaa” when he falls is so funny lmaoo

[rudramaitri]

the way no one laughed and kept rolling... amazing professionality.

[jrcadet]

Donald Glover's performance is brilliant, and the character's deeply personal because I KNOW/have known space and science geeks with that same abstracted quality when they're working a problem. The stories they tell on S-F convention panels can be just priceless (altho they're a lot more coherent than poor Rich Purnell----they've usually had some sleep going into cons...)

[domuhnic]

whats hilarious to me is how the camera blocking still went along with it LMAO

[davideberhardt]

Saw the Conan segment, headed right over here. Thanks!

[museblock]

Fantastic recovery. It fits so well into the scene.

i saw this when i was 13 and it first came out and it struck me as somehow such an appealing way to live that now im almost 20 and a physics major planning on grad school so that i can make it my entire life. thanks donald

There was a famous line once, it was about kings who are not kings as long as they have to remind everyone of it...

[kiatsumi]

Can we appreciate that Donald came out of this like a boss

[Deity]

So this is where Troy went after Greendale
