“So we were doing it and moving forward, and then you just kind of keep going, you feel like it’s quite a long time,” Nicola recalls.

Realizing the kissing scene had gone on too long, Nicola said: “Colin, we’re at your place!”

“Maybe I’ll just go. Oh my God, we’re here. We’re at your house,” Nicola said, to which Colin replied “Oh my God. Can’t the driver of the car continue driving?”

They reveal that that’s when their manager Andrew Ahn approached the car to ask them what they were doing. They were surprised to learn that the director had shouted “cut” some time ago.

During the joint interview, they said: “And then Andrew came to the door and he asked me: what were you doing?”

They say they didn’t hear anything inside the car.
