Colman Domingo's Insane Swamp Fight Scene: What Really Went Down

Salute to the actor for putting in the work for this scene. There's a memorable fight scene in Netflix's The Madness where Colman Domingo's character is involved in an intense altercation in a swamp. But, what actually transpired during the filming of this grueling scene? In a recent interview, Colman Domingo shared his hilarious story about the experience. According to the actor, the scene was quite physically demanding, requiring him to fight not just his scene partner but also the elements. Domingo stated that 'filming in the swamp with alligators and other wildlife was a truly frightening experience.' He also mentioned that, on multiple occasions, he almost got into a real fight with the actors he was supposed to be fighting in the scene. It was simply because the adrenaline was high and the environment was unpredictable, leading to moments of real aggression.

Domingo recalled that at one point he had jumped into the water to escape his opponent, and his clothing got caught in the murky water. 'The fight scene turned into a real wrestle for me to get out the water,' he commented laughingly. He added that 'it was quite difficult to maintain the required intensity in the scene when your pants are being pulled down by the currents.' Colman Domingo admitted that the overall experience, though chaotic and frightening at times, was also quite hilarious.
