Suicide Squad: Jai Courtney Chased David Ayer Around Naked

Suicide Squad Director David Ayer was chased around on set by a naked Jai Courtney

One of the big stories of the making of the Suicide Squad movie was Jared Leto’s crazy antics. He might’ve spent nights alone in a prison cell to get into character. He might’ve been in character the entire time he was on set, leading co-stars like Will Smith to claim they didn’t really meet him until after the movie. But he definitely sent the cast a lot of weird gifts such as used bullets, condoms, dead pigs, etc.

But was anyone else on the set of Suicide Squad pulling some crazy antics? Was Leto alone in this? While not going to that level, cast member Jai Courtney, who played Captain Boomerang in the Suicide Squad film, chased David Ayer around the set. While naked.

Courtney told this story on a recent visit to Conan O’Brien’s talk show. According to Courtney, director David Ayer had a tendency to come into people’s trailers uninvited. One time Ayer came into Courtney’s trailer, and Courtney was naked. He can’t seem to recall exactly why, claiming he must’ve just showered after shooting a scene “or something”. “I’m an impulsive dude, I went after him”. Courtney also said he could hear co-star Jay Hernandez (El Diablo) saying “sick ’em boy” as he chased Ayer. And there is photographic proof of this incident, which Conan showed. While it’s blurred, this might be considered a little NSFW, so be forewarned before watching the video:

You know, for an opportunistic shot, that’s very clear and very focused. Maybe that’s just the danger of working on the movie set. Suicide Squad is out now on Digital HD and coming out on Blu-Ray and DVD December 13th.
