Don’t Let Anyone Know Your Real Identity

Mistake: Instead of signing the name Jim Halpert, John Krasinski signed his real name during the scene
Hollywood bloopers can be quite subtle, requiring a keen eye to catch them. In an episode of The Office, a notable blooper occurs when Meredith asks Jim to sign her pelvic cast during her welcome-back party. Actor John Krasinski, who portrays Jim, unintentionally signed his real name instead of his character’s name.
Meredith’s actress, Kate Flannery, later revealed that the show had made eight casts for her to wear during the filming of that scene. She had to remain still while being cast inside. Multiple takes were done for the same shot, but the directors ultimately decided to use the first take, where Krasinski signed his real name. For the directors, this blooper was a minor issue compared to the overall outcome of the scene.
