Richard E. Grant distressed the parents of several child actors on the set of his latest movie The Little Vampire by encouraging the tiny stars to set fire to their wind.

The actor stars in the tale of a family of Scottish vampires saved from death by their human friends – with co-stars Tommy Hinkley and Jerry Maguire star Jonathan Lipnicki.

Grant kept on set spirits high by trying to set fire to his flatulence in a bid to amuse the cast of children – but the actor’s on-set fun led to panic as the four child actors tried to mimic Grant’s antics.

Hinkley says, “The kids just loved watching Richard set fire to his farts. It became a bit of a problem when they started copying him. There were some concerned parents out there.”
