While speaking with Insider about her new movie, Lena agreed with Hannah about the strain of the day.

“I adore Hannah, she’s one of my favorite humans,” she said, adding that it was a “really, really tough day” on set and a “really shit day” for Hannah.

Lena continued, “People have different limits. People will go to different places. And some people will be like, ‘I don’t want to f***ing put myself in that position.’ I totally respect whatever your boundaries are, but Hannah was a trooper. That was a long day of prune juice in your face.”

She also shared that she tried not to torture Hannah even more than she already was being tortured.

While pouring the wine atop her, Lena didn’t aim for Hannah’s mouth.

“I was like, I’m just going to do a light salad dressing drizzle around her nun’s wimple,” she said.

Here’s what Hannah first shared about the scene…
