Drinking Breast Milk on the set of North Country

This woman's breast milk is, according to director Nikki Caro, "delicious." We'll take her word for it. (image via tv.yahoo)

We know that on-set shenanegans are par for the course. Colin Farrell has been known as "cock out Colin" for asking cast members to reach inside his djellabo pockets and, unbeknownst to them, clutch his wenis.

And then, of course, there is the case of Ben Affleck, the would-be "Benator," who likes to drape his wretched manhood over unsuspecting directors' necks, and also on props. But this one, sweet reader, takes the cake -- or should we say nutrient-rich breast milk. On the set of "North Country," this, from Moviehole:

"Moviehole: Was Charlize Theron on board when you joined, or both of you at the same time?

"Niki Caro: We were stalking one another. We were running circles around each other at that time because our films were being distributed by that guy. And we love him, and we're both the spawn of Bob Berney. So when we met, we had so much in common. We both loved the story and we had very, very similar ideas of what the film should be. It's like a really great first date.

"Moviehole: Describe the atmosphere on set. Charlize didn't go into detail about the jokes, etc.

"Niki Caro: So she didn't tell you then that she was sexually harassing everybody, all the time. I was a willing accomplice. For a film that carries a great deal of psychological weight, and for a film that has such great actors, giving us such great performances, it was a very un- working environment. The actresses were very playful, shall we say. I can't tell you what they did or what they said because it's obscene. One thing I will tell you because it's my last, you get to hear it. I've done 50 television interview back-to-back yesterday, and nobody knows this. You guys know what a white dog is? It's a drink in a shot glass made up of whiskey and Jillian Armenante's (who plays Peg) breast milk. It's delicious. Because Jillian was breastfeeding at the time, because when we went out, she had to pump, and she couldn't be drinking and giving milk to the baby, she would make these drinks and hand them around. You probably shouldn't mention that, it's for your own edification.

Charmed, we're sure; sounds like a grand ole time, to be sure: Charlize Theron, Niki Caro, some whiskey and Jullian Armenante's breast milk. Laissez la bon temps rouler!

This is sooooooo gross I had to read it about 4 times to make sure I was reading it right (I did not doubt you, just my eyes).

Isn't breast milk a little personal like spit or urine? It is a secretion of the body right?

Ewwwww!

I was thinking about this. Breast milk is a personal secretion. Totally. Nikki Caro is a New Zealander, and they are up for anything, but the idea of Charlize Theron doing it ... yuck!

This won't actually have success, I think so.

How about the fact that Niki allowed the women in the cast to take out their stress on the guys in the cast an crew? I've found several other interviews that reapeat this. Where is SAG, #MeToo and #TimesUp?

Or apparently at the admission that Niki allowed sexual harassment of men on her set.
