I said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ If they were like, ‘You have to wear a giant clown suit,’ I would have been like, ‘I would love that, yes please.’” “On my first day on set, we were walking around and I toppled over not once, not twice, but three times,” Nicola continued. “Three times!

I thought, ‘They’re going to think I’m drunk. they’re going to think I’m crazy.’” Luckily, the costume designers “very quickly realized” that she wasn’t going to be able to walk in heels and cut them from her wardrobe.
