Bill Hader Lost a Costar Last Month
Hader had a challenging end of 2025, experiencing the sudden and unexpected death of his “It: Chapter Two” costar James Ransone. News broke on Sunday, December 21 that the 46-year-old was found deceased in his New York City apartment two days before.
In a prior Conan interview about the film, Ransone described a devilish prank Hader decided to play while shooting. He said, ““There was one night where we were filming scenes with a lot of strobe lights, and I think we were all sort of stressed by the end of the shoot. So me and Bill Hader and Isaiah, and Muschietti, we went out to the parking lot and we were kicking around a soccer ball.” Ransone said Hader mischievously suggested to Muschietti, the film’s director, “It’ll be funny if you kick the ball at that office building up there where all those people are working.”
Ransone went on, “Muschietti just immediately kicks the ball as hard as he can at this office window. Bill Hader’s like, ‘Yeah, yeah! Do it, do it!’ And I was like, ‘Dude we’re gonna get in so much trouble. Like, I don’t wanna get sued. This is a lawsuit!’” Ransone said while Hader was “egging on” Muschietti, he swooped in to snatch the ball and kicked it onto the roof.
Haded owned up to the joke, chiming in, ““It was a full building of all windows. When the ball would hit, it was like that scene in ‘The Matrix.’ I was like ‘Whoooo, Andy! Keep doing it!’”
