I’m a very anxious person, so I’m always nervous, especially on a big job like that.“Doing the sex scene was nerve-racking, and we were on a boat, and I get seasick, so that was fucking stressful.

The actual scene itself went smoothly. [Showrunner] Mike White was sort of calming about it, and I really trusted Patrick and Charlotte.”He continued: “We all just trusted each other, and that dynamic worked well.

In the scene, Patrick and I are brothers, with this girl who we just met like the day before. It was very weird kissing Patrick because he’s a really good friend of mine.
