Mike Myers apparently doesn’t like people looking him in the eye. On the “Carly & Jay” radio show recently, Canadian DJ Jay Brody claimed that he was actually fired by the actor from one of his film sets for breaking that rule.

A rep for the actor disputed the claim, though, telling Page Six, “Mike didn’t have a bodyguard on ‘The Love Guru.’” But Brody told the outlet that he had worked as a security guard assigned to the shooting location for the 2008 film in downtown Toronto.

He also claimed that he was warned that the “Wayne’s World” star had a rule about looking him in the eye. “You can’t look at him,” Brody said, explaining that was true, even though Myers was “going to be in a wig and prosthetics” for the shoot.
