DELTA Goodrem has just thrown a glass of red wine in a fit of rage. The target the forehead of her fiance, Brian McFadden. Her aim is spot on.
A bleeding McFadden is eyeing off a chainsaw with a destructive glint in his eyes.
He’s swearing at her, she’s yelling at him. Then the director says “cut”.
The loved-up pair are playing combative lovers in the video for their duet Mistakes.
Loosely based on Brangelina’s Mr and Mrs Smith, the clip starts with a romantic dinner that triggers an explosive domestic dispute.
The pair may have the occasional argument, but this fictitious one is turbo-nuclear.
On set in Sydney last week, director Dan Reisinger is yelling obscenities at Goodrem to get her in the (war) zone for the fiery feud.
“It’s not every day Australia’s sweetheart gets called a f—-g b—-,”Reisinger laughs.
“I had to get her motivated.”
“The first word I said after ‘cut’ was sorry . . . before re-loading and letting her have it again.”
While Goodrem taps into her Logie-winning Neighbours days for angst-on-cue (“Brian’s like ‘I don’t want to offend you’ I’m going, ‘Come on!”‘), McFadden struggles to abuse his partner of six years.
“The happy bits are easy,” McFadden says, “trying to get each other riled up is hard.”
