In "The Love Guru," Myers plays Maurice Pitka, a man raised by a guru who aims to become a "love guru" so that women will love him. Myers wore a long wig and a fake beard for the role, which, Brody said, made him unrecognizable on set.
"So I'm sitting on the set, first day, first hour I'm there. We don't know what he looks like. I don't know what he looks like yet and I just see a man approaching in a long wig, fake beard, and I'm like, 'I think that's Mike Myers,'" Brody said.
He added: "And I look down to not look at him because I don't want to get fired, but I realize I can't let just anyone into the trailer. So I look up, I catch his eye for a second, I give him a nod to let him know I'm cool and then I look away. And within an hour I get a phone call letting me know that I'm fired and I have to get off the set."
