A Clip Of Joshua Jackson Getting Blasted With A Basketball On "Dawson's Creek" Went Viral, And Now It's A Big Ol' Mystery

    "They told me on set I was trending on Twitter and I got really nervous for a second."

    We've got another mystery on our hands, BuzzHeads*.

    This one involves a clip from Dawson's Creek.

    Director Jay Cheel tweeted a clip of Joshua Jackson getting straight-up blasted in the head with a basketball on an episode of Dawson's Creek:

    This shot in Dawsons’s Creek is blowing my mind.

    WB/Twitter: @JayCheel

    It's intense, to say the least!

    And now people are trying to figure out how the hell they made the clip.

    Was it CGI? Did he actually get hit? How the hell is it that violent?

    The man himself, Joshua Jackson, caught wind of the tweet and gave us some more hints.

    This gets funnier every time I see it https://t.co/e33vv6wQBH

    At first he said what anyone who is going viral would say:

    @JayCheel They told me on set. I was trending on Twitter and I got really nervous for a second.

    But then he starts answering people. Nope, it wasn't CGI.

    @klaxonsound @Pat_Kc @theguynamedcole @DustinRomeroArt @JayCheel Incorrect. This was 199(7?) we were definitely not using cgi.

    And nope, he wasn't hurt.

    @SamuelAAdams @JayCheel @eshynes No Pacey’s we’re harmed in the filming of this scene.

    But that's where were at. This mystery remains open.
