Are they getting paid though? I remember for ASIB they were charging the extras $5 

Idk but I would literally pay THEM to be an extra just to see Gaga  even if I had to hold my pee or whatever for hours

I can hold in for a long time they should hire me 

I’d understand if someone had a medical condition OR if you’re a woman and you’re on your period on the first or 2nd day…

also i always make it part of my routine to use the bathroom right before my shift, my regular shifts are 4 hours a day with no break so i always pee before clocking in and avoid drinking straight water cus i know that'll make me pee

Like many people have said, it's only two hours. But what I'm wondering about is if they had lots of extras wanting to go and holding up the filming, causing backlash. If you have 50 extras and 10 of them need to pee at different times, that's a person halting production every 5 minutes. Maybe they were all coming back from the restroom late? There's always two sides to a story.

Or maybe the crew are just being unreasonable about breaks and the extras are in the right   I guess poor working conditions on film sets are very common. we will never know the full story

There are some things employers have no right to refuse employees. Going to the bathroom is one of them. No one should be questioned about this unless extremely excessive but for the most part, there could be many reasons why someone may need to use the washroom and it's no ones business to know.

The End.

Being brainwashed into 40 hour work week has truly ruined some of y’all 

And before you girls get triggered and start tussling, I work full time too ❤️ However, a 40 hour work week isn’t ideal and having to hold in your restroom for an hour much less 2,3,4 isn’t healthy. It’s not about sucking it up it’s quite literally about people’s health. Idk who needs to hear this but baby speak up to your boss at work and maybe get some therapy, I beg…

As someone who works in the industry, YES, sometimes the crew makes it difficult for extras. It can be a miserable job, and something as basic as bathroom breaks shouldn't have to be a problem. But when you're working with 30+ people on a set that you have limited time with and going an extra day or even an extra hour can cost upwards of a million dollars? Either hold it like a grown up or accept that you can leave, go to the bathroom, and be replaced.

Some of y'all aren't comprehending how complex of a situation filming a large scene can be. It's just a part of the job.
