Actor-turned-producer Peter Billingsley, who will forever be immortalized as Ralphie in “A Christmas Story,” opened up about a nasty little mistake that occurred while filming the movie back in the early 1980s.
During an interview on the podcast “That Scene With Dan Patrick,” Billingsley explained that the prop master mistakenly gave him real chewing tobacco in the scene where he daydreams about defending his family from a pack of burglars with his much-coveted Red Ryder BB gun. Given that Billingsley was just 12 years old at the time, he quickly became sick to the point of vomiting.
