We’re naked in the scene."

Fortunately, a crew member had a solution for Craig’s concerns.
“Someone very kindly said, ‘That’s not gonna work.
We’re gonna be bleeding.

It’s not gonna be very good for the scene,'” he recalled.
Which is great soft and lovely."
However, using faux dirt had unintended consequences.
he said in a comically frantic, amped-up tone.
Craig’s costar Drew Starkey recentlyshared his own recollection of the experience in an interview withEntertainment Weekly.
“We were essentially naked.
[Guadagnino] was like, ‘They’re going to get cut up after the first take.
Their skin’s going to be ripped to shreds if it’s just dirt,'” he recalled.
Starkey, too, got a major caffeine buzz from filming the scene.
“I guess the coffee can absorb into your skin.
I was up for hours after.”
“Is that true?”
theSocial Networkstar asked, incredulous.
“It’s true, it is true,” Craig confirmed.
Norton asked, “So if you just rub coffee on yourself…?”
Craig didn’t think that strategy would have quite the same effect.
“Well, I mean, if you roll around in it for 12 hours,” he said.
“I’m not sure if you just rub coffee you’ll get it.”

Eisenberg joked that Craig’s discovery might become his go-to coffee routine.
“I have such a sensitivity to caffeine,” he said.
“Maybe I should just take a little walk in it.
I think I might stroll.”
“It’s very nice, it’s very soft,” he said.
“Barefoot, just stroll back and forth every morning.”
I’ll pour cream on it, too, just to make it fancy.
‘I’d like to walk on some coffee and sugar this morning.'"
Craigalso discussed his intimate sceneswith Starkey withEntertainment Weekly.
“I feel like the physical act is the least interesting thing,” he said.
“We’re all grown-ups.
This is what people do.
That’s what we wanted to get across.
I think that’s why they work.”
