Riley Keough shut down film set after eating peanuts and almost kissing Andrew Garfield
Oh, nuts!
Actress Riley Keough revealed Wednesday that she once shut down a movie set after snacking on some peanuts and then nearly kissing Andrew Garfield, who is “very allergic.”
Keough, 34, revealed in a Vanity Fair interview that the nutty incident occurred while the pair were filming the 2018 neo-noir “Under the Silver Lake.”
“I do have a memory on this set where it was actually very stressful,” Keough said.
“I was in the makeup trailer and I was eating like a granola bar or something,” recalled Keough. “And I was about to shoot a scene where I have to kiss Andrew and the makeup lady was like, ‘Are there peanuts in that?’ And I was like, ‘I think I don’t know.'”
According to the “Mad Max: Fury Road” star, the woman bolted from the trailer and went to find a producer.
“She got the producer who’s a friend of mine and the producer came in and was like ‘Riley like Andrew is very allergic to peanuts and we had to shut the set down,'” laughs Keough. “And they shouldn’t have been at [craft services] and I don’t know why they’re on set.”
Keough, unaware of her co-star’s allergy, was startled by the realization.
“I was just kinda like, ‘Oh, f – – k, that’s crazy,'” said the actress. “But also thank God that this woman caught it because I had no idea.”
The Post reached out to Garfield and Keough for comment.
Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell (“It Follows”), “Under the Silver Lake” tells the story of Los Angeles slacker Sam (Garfield) and his slow descent into an underground world of the occult, codes and numerology after a mysterious woman (Keough) appears in his apartment complex one night and then subsequently vanishes.
The film premiered in 2018 at the Cannes Film Festival where it was nominated for the prestigious Palme d’Or award and Garfield was nominated for Best Actor.
Film distributor A24 later released the film in the US after pushing back the release date several times due to unknown circumstances.
According to IMDB, the film received mixed reviews and grossed only $2 million worldwide.
At the time of the release, Mitchell told Indiewire that the film was “an exploration of this dark and warped fantasy version of the world I saw around me.”
“It’s going to disturbing places. It’s about movies and the city of LA and these strange contrasts: You have incredible wealth and fame as the city is constantly being renewed by people wanting the things people in the big houses in the hills have,” said Mitchell, 48.
“Everyone I know there has felt the struggle, the conflict between love and art and wealth and comfort.”
