Miles recalled one day from the film’s shoot where he suffered an allergic reaction that caused him to have “head to toe” hives.

“We landed, and I thought ‘Man, I’m not feeling too good,’” he said. “I was really hot and I just started itching like crazy. So I got out of the jet. I’m just covered in hives. Head to toe. I go to a doctor. I do a blood analysis. I’m in an oatmeal bath that night. I have sensitive skin anyway, truth be told, Irish-Scottish skin. No dyes, no nothing.”

After a blood test, Miles was told there was “flame-retardant, pesticide, and jet fuel” in his blood.

He continued, “I go to set the next day and Tom‘s like ‘How did it go Miles? What did they find?’”

“I was like, ‘Well, Tom, it turns out I have jet fuel in my blood.’ And without even skipping a beat Tom goes ‘Yeah, I was born with it, kid,’” he said. “So that was a very Tom moment for me.”
