Some of the British teenagers starring in the latest "Harry Potter" movie came down with a bad case of acne, the Sun reported Monday.
The young actors broke out in pimples during the shooting of the $65 million "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire," and the heavy make-up only made the problem worse.
Producers had to bring in an expert to airbrush the images and hide the blemishes as the finishing touches were put to the film, due out in November, the report said.
"We have had to employ a special effects man to go through every frame clearing up their complexions," one insider told the newspaper.
"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, now 15, 17-year-old Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger reportedly were among the worst affected.
