However, that day's weather was terrible as "intense winds" nearly blew him off the cliff.
"We did have some of the most intense winds that I've ever experienced in my life," said the actor. (via the Daily Mail UK)
During the incident, Gad was filming with his co-star Isla Fisher, and she had to "stabilize him," which he considers "a lot."
The male host of the show then chimed in to crack a joke, saying Fisher was like, "don't worry, crazy American actor, I'll save your life off of this giant cliff."
The actress and Gad laughed off the incident before Fisher replied, "honestly, it was very windy that day, but we got so lucky."
