I've always been curious to know what direction that actor was given for that scene. "Don't just eat that tomato. Eat it in such a nasty, graphic way that it'll make people uncomfortable for decades to come."

Peter Jackson didn’t even ask him to eat like that, he just started doing it and they were too scared to stop filming.
