In conversation with Access Hollywood, Nicola and Luke got candid about the scene, sharing an interesting anecdote.
What did they say
“So we were doing it and going ahead and then you sort of keep going you’re like this feels like it’s quite long,” Nicola recalled.
Realising that the kissing scene has gone for too long, Nicola said her line, “Colin, we’re at your house!”
“Maybe I’ll just go Oh my God, we’re here. We’re at your house,” Nicola said, to which Colin says ‘Oh God. Can the carriage driver not keep on driving?’
They reveal that was the moment when their director Andrew Ahn walked up to the carriage to ask them what they were doing. They were surprised to know that the director had shouted ‘cut’ a while back.
In the joint interview, they said, “And then Andrew came to the door and he was like, what were you doing?”
She said, “We were like, what? He was like, ‘I was shouting, cut, cut! And we just hadn’t heard it. So the whole crew were just watching us, they were like, what are you doing?”
They claim that they couldn’t hear anything while inside the carriage.
