Anthony Michael Hall Says Chevy Chase Teased His Puberty During ‘Vacation’ Reshoots

Hall recounted the story at an Aug. 17 Fan Expo Chicago reunion, describing the remarks as affectionate ribbing.

Overview

  • Hall, who was 14 during production, said reshoots more than six months after test screenings made his growth spurts conspicuous on camera.
  • He recalled Chase’s jokes from the set and an autograph that read, “To Anthony, you’re a regular Robby Benson,” followed by, “If you’re going blind, you’re doing it right.”
  • Co-star Dana Barron added that Chase also commented on Hall’s pimples during a scene in the family station wagon.
  • Despite the teasing, Hall emphasized he holds no grudge, telling Chase at the reunion, “This is why I love being your son for 40 years. I love you.”
  • Chase later posted that he enjoyed the Chicago reunion, and coverage notes he has a formally announced fall ‘Christmas Vacation’ tour.
