The 17 Again star recounted how Salma additionally had a number of ideas to get into character at instances, recalling:
“Salma had tried her best, too — she came into my trailer at the start of the shoot and said, ‘Let’s just spoon a little bit.’ I did my best Chandler impression — the double-take-and-sardonic- stare thing — and said, ‘Oh, OK! Let’s just spoon a little bit!’”
While the Eternals actress had a “very elaborate and lengthy idea” on easy methods to sort out a scene, Matthew shared he generally felt “her long-winded ideas weren’t always helpful.” Ouch. He wrote within the memoir:

Could this be a different way of saying Matty, you’re enough, the words I’ve been longing to hear my entire life?”
