Is… something that they felt they needed to do. Do it to tell a story.
She shouts out to her costar, margaret qualleyWhich she says eased her nervousness and served as an incredible scene partner for those moments when she had to be completely naked.
In one particularly graphic scene… Demi engages in a naked, no-holds-barred fight with Qualley – which Demi says was light-hearted due to their camaraderie despite the vulnerability associated with the scene. Ended up as an entertaining BTS.
