You know that iconic bathtub shot in Mary Poppins Returns, in which Emily Blunt carelessly dives backwards into an obscene amount of bubbles to enter an underwater fantasy land? That was real.
Well, not the underwater fantasy land bit, but the actual dive into the tub was achieved without even a hint of CGI.
We now know this thanks to a behind-the-scenes clip of the scene, which has been doing the rounds on the internet recently. Check it out below:
The clip reveals that the bathtub actually had a slide built into it and that Blunt had the enjoyable yet equally terrifying task of having to ride it backwards, before landing on a crash mat.
And Blunt recently revealed that the slide was quite a drop, with the actress claiming it was "steep and fast".
"It takes a lot of courage to be able to do that," says a voice in the behind-the-scenes clip.

Quite.
Of course, that also means that the objects Mary Poppins chucks in the bath during the scene went down the slide, too, and were caught by someone on the other side.
So Disney actually did some real magic – and by magic we obviously mean tricked us all.
Unsurprisingly, Mary Poppins Returns has proved to be a big hit at the box office, and a sequel is already in the early stages at Disney.
Speaking to The Sun, director Rob Marshall said: "It is early stages but I will say right now that there were eight books, so there’s a lot of great material still to mine. That’s what we worked from, those incredible eight books of P.L. Travers. So, you know..."
Mary Poppins Returns is in cinemas now.
