Billions star David Costabile has revealed that he ate quite a few cheeseburgers during the filming of a scene from Season 3. Billions Season 7 debuts on Paramount+ With Showtime on Friday, August 11.
In a video posted to the official Billions Twitter account, Costabile recounted a story about eating 16 cheeseburgers during the filming of a scene — including raw ones.
“Damian[Lewis] and I were on the balcony and we had to eat bacon double chili cheeseburgers because we were doing a taste test,” Costabile stated. “I ate 16 fucking bacon double chili cheeseburgers. Unfortunately the cook got behind, so he had to burn the outside, so it looked like a hamburger, but it was raw meat. And I had to take these giant bites and I had a mouth full of raw meat and I had to eat it, swallow it, and then talk. And I fucking did it, and I swallowed it.”
