True or False Trivia: Ted

TOFT

One of the fascinating pieces of trivia below is true*, the other is false. Do YOU know which is which?

Ted (2012)

1) At one point in the movie, Ted mentions 9/11. Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane both narrowly missed being on the planes that hit the World Trade Center. Wahlberg was booked on American Airlines Flight 11 but decided to drive up to New York and fly to California later. MacFarlane was scheduled on the same flight but arrived to gate ten minutes late and was unable to board. He was sitting in the airport when he saw that his plane had hit the North Tower of the World trade center.

2) Ted wasn’t initially CG, but was played by little person Kenny Baker, who played R2D2 in Star Wars, which Seth McFarlane is a huge fan of. However, Baker showed up to the set so drunk that each take was ruined due to his constant stumbling and peeing inside of the teddy bear suit. At the end of the first day of filming in the scorching Boston sun, Baker suffocated inside the poorly ventilated suit and was pronounced legally dead by actor Sam J. Jones. Fortunately, Jones managed to bring Baker back to life because he’s Flash Gordon. Baker is now technically immortal, but soulless and can no longer feel the effects of alcohol. However, it saved his marriage.
