We know Justin Hartley can do a lot of things, but there is one thing he cannot do. That thing is ice skate.
The actor told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show yesterday that he is filming a new movie called The Exchange where he is playing a former hockey player. One of the requirements for the role is ice skating. Something he has never done before. He thought it would be easy because he is athletic. They even gave him a three-hour lesson and he thought he could master it in 30 minutes.
Then he got on the ice and well, it was not for him. He shared a video of him during hour three and even three-year-olds can do better that. I did.
Hey, he lives in LA and we have an ice skating rink in Burbank for like a month out of the year. It is not a skill we need unless we are filming a movie.
What did the director do about his lack of gracefulness on the ice? They pulled him around so it looks like he was doing it. Only we know he wasn’t. That is why they say that acting is make-believe.
You know, at least he has a lot of other talents to fall back on. If he ever goes skating again, he might fall back on that too, as in fall backwards on his ass. Poor Justin.
