Behind the scenes of MGM’s infamous intro photo
A behind-the-scenes look at the making of MGM’s intro photo circulated social media. In the picture, the lion is strapped to a machine to film the iconic roar shown at the start of every MGM film.
While a lion was strapped to that machine, it wasn’t to make the introduction. The lion was being examined at the vet’s office and fully recovered. Fun fact: about seven lions were used to create MGM’s memorable intro, not one.
