Take it from someone who spent a significant part of his youth doing various things in hay barns, this is not even remotely comfortable. It's prickly, itchy, and prone to insect issues. I hope Chuck Gatlin got paid well and had a fluffer standing by to help brush off the hay and pick off the bugs.
Didn't fluffers also perform another basic service? Big Dude
ReplyDeleteThe job description varied.
DeleteI have known about 'fluffers' for many years now. I have been given the impression that they aren't very common now on filming sets. I have always been very envious of their job!
ReplyDeleteI have always squirmed uncomfortably whenever I’ve seen naked guys crawling around hay. We wore buttoned up long sleeve shirts and rubber bands around our pants legs and still got near terminal itches.
ReplyDeleteWhen hauling hay, sometimes we would shower at lunch and then again after work.
DeleteYeah, whenever I see guys in hay bales to look sexy I just think how uncomfortable it would be in reality. Just funny how it became a thing if movies/ videos/ pornos.
