Zendaya admitted to Vanity Fair that she “felt so bad” filming certain sequences alongside co-star O’Connor, especially that viral scene where Tashi spits on Patrick before once again consummating their twisted relationship.

O’Connor, who lives in the English countryside outside of London, brings a certain bemused curiosity to his life and art. When he met director Kelly Reichardt to discuss a role in her next film, The Mastermind, which he is currently shooting, he found himself “overawed” by their meeting place in New York: a lobster shack.

The Crown star, 34, sent fans into a frenzy when he appeared in the steamy film, but in a new interview, described the jaw-dropping moment as 'very choreographed and rehearsed.'
