In an interview with Vanity Fair, star Macauley said that he can't watch the film in the same way as other people, as he constantly starts remembering behind the scenes moments.
He said: "I’m remembering that day on set, like, how I was hiding my Pepsi behind the couch. I can’t watch it the same way other people can.”

One of her most famous roles is also her most recent, as Moira in the hit comedy series Schitt's Creek.
