Meloni, while speaking of the scene where they had to dance, said, "I felt like I kept having to make it real but make it lighthearted, but the circumstances were real, had to have meaning... it was a really delicate dance for me.”
The I Am Wrath actor then recalled how the Ticket to Paradise actress effortlessly did the moves that felt like coming from within.
Awestruck by the actress, he noted, “[I remember] marveling at Julia being able to just kind of do it effortlessly,” he shared. “It was really fun to be a part of.”
