Anya Taylor-Joy has clarified it wasn't The Super Mario Galaxy Movie that made her vomit in the studio.
The 29-year-old actress recently revealed she threw up during her first voice acting session, which had people believing it was her stint as Princess Peach which caused the mortifying moment.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she has now explained: "I never said it was Princess Peach. I said it was the first time that I ever did voice acting.
“And what happened was I went in quite blind and I did it for eight straight hours. So, eight straight hours of screaming and efforts and this and that and whatever.
"And I drank so much water that I puked. So, I don’t do that anymore. I break it up and it’s helpful.”
While Taylor-Joy is yet to confirm the role in question, her previous voice acting projects include Playmobil: The Movie, and animated series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
Appearing on The Late Show With Seth Meyers last month, she opened up about the brutal nature of voice acting.
She said: "It's super fun. But I will say the first time I ever did a session, I did not realise how taxing it would be because you’re yelling continuously the whole time.
"I think the first time I ever did it, I threw up.”
In another recent interview, she has again clarified that it wasn't Princess Peach that made her puke, and noted she had started with an "eight hour session".
She told Entertainment Weekly: "I don’t know why I thought it would be really chill. I thought I was going to go in there and be like, [talking normally].
"And it wasn’t. It was like, [talking loudly]. The whole time.”
After the gruelling session, she phoned up a friend and asked for a lift.
She told them: "Can you come get me? I am not okay!"
Jack Black is reprising his role as Bowser in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie - which is released in cinemas on April 1 - and previously teased that the sequel has "tons of Easter eggs" that will delight gaming fans.
The 56-year-old actor told GamesRadar+: "I am sworn to secrecy, but there’s tons of Easter eggs, and anyone who loves that universe will be very pleased with the way that it’s been brought to the big screen."
Anya and Jack are accompanied in the cast by returning stars Chris Pratt, Charlie Day and Keegan-Michael Key, who lend their voices to Mario, Luigi and Toad respectively, whilst Brie Larson and Benny Safdie join the ensemble as the voices of Princess Rosalina and Bowser Jr.
Behind the scenes, returning directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic are at the helm of the project, with Matthew Fogel once again writing the screenplay and Brian Tyler composing the score.
