Emily Blunt Reveals Usyk’s Favorite Treat During Filming

Hollywood actress Emily Blunt shared her experience filming with three-time undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk in The Smashing Machine.

“He constantly wanted to eat cake. You had to bribe him to get him to agree… For example, a lovely assistant said, ‘Alex, we need to put fake sweat on you again.’ And he hated that fake sweat.

‘Why?’ he asked, because he didn’t understand continuity or anything like that. And she said, ‘If I give you a little cake, will you agree?’ And he said, ‘Yes.’ Then they’d bring him cake,” Blunt said.

Blunt plays the girlfriend of the main character in the film, portrayed by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
