'The craziest day': Anthony Ramos almost got burned by fireworks on ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ set
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There’s no denying the fact that the ‘Transformers’ franchise is an action-packed one. Given the title of the upcoming movie ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ it is bound to take it up a notch, with newer villains, and the stakes being higher. This also means that the production and set design, along with the cast members and crew, will be on the receiving end of a lot of action.
‘Transformers’ has seen accidents on set before while filming, however, Anthony Ramos’ recent accident has become the talk of the town. Ramos will be playing the role of Noah Diaz in ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ and has detailed an incident that took place while filming. It’s moments like these that truly show how dedicated actors and actresses are because Ramos almost caught on fire!
What happened to Ramos while filming ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’?
In an interview with SFX Magazine, Ramos talks about ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ and the experience of filming it. He remembers his craziest day as he says, "The craziest day on set was I almost got burned by one of the fireworks that went off. In one of the scenes, there's a big battle on this lawn at a museum. You can see some of it in the trailer. My windbreaker starts to catch fire a little bit. You can see a spark go into my windbreaker. It's the actual take that they used." Ramos definitely had a close call on sets of ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ but at least it made for a good take that he could then use in the movie.
Ramos plays Noah Diaz in the upcoming movie
Ramos is best known for his roles in movies like ‘In the Heights’ and ‘Hamilton’ so ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ is definitely a change of pace for the 31-year-old actor. Noah, played by Ramos, is one of the main protagonists of the upcoming ‘Transformers’ movie. Noah lives in Brooklyn and is an electronics expert, who has also served in the military before. However, it doesn’t take him long to get involved in the war between Autobots and Maximals as they fight Unicorn, the newest villain.
