Steven Spielberg famously skipped directing the final scene of Jaws , where the shark explodes, due to a humorous fear that the crew was plotting to throw him into the water after the "cut" call.
This experience led him to adopt a quirky tradition: he now avoids being present for the last scenes of every film he directs.
Spielberg's absence has become a notable aspect of his filmmaking process, reflecting his playful approach to directing and his desire to keep things light-hearted on set. This habit not only adds an element of intrigue to his films but also showcases his unique personality as a director who values both creativity and camaraderie with his crew.
