The Biggest Revelations From Madison Beer’s Book The Half of It
A Shut Name
Making the music video for her track “Reckless,” one scene required a water tank and, Beer recollects, that was going to be the final scene they shot that individual night time earlier than calling it a day.

They ended up taking pictures the scene later that very night time in Beer’s pool at her home and everybody agreed that the underwater photographs they wanted had been higher than in the event that they’d used that comparatively confining tank.

It ripped from the underside and all of the water sucked down like a funnel, he defined, and if she’d already been within the tank, she “‘would have been dragged underneath, too'” and been badly injured or caught underwater.
Beer recollects how devastated she’d felt when the tank broke—however now she had the proper shot, and she hadn’t been damage in a freak accident. “I am going to by no means know precisely why it occurred,” she writes, “however I went to mattress that night time feeling oddly grateful that it had.”
