Riley Keough compelled movie set to close down after Andrew Garfield mishap

Riley Keough was seconds away from significantly injuring her Under the Silver Lake co-star Andrew Garfield on set.

The Daisy Jones and the Six actress advised Vanity Fair that she precipitated the set of David Robert Mitchell’s 2019 neo-noir drama Under the Silver Lake to close down whereas filming all as a result of she ate a granola bar.

The set was shut down resulting from Garfield’s extreme nut allergy moments earlier than the pair of actor’s had been about to shoot a kiss scene.

Elvis Presley‘s grandaughter defined that she ate the granola bar within the make-up trailer earlier than the scene and the make-up girl requested her if there have been peanuts in it.

Keough stated she didn’t know, however the make-up artist needed to inform a producer resulting from Garfield’s allergy.

Once they had been knowledgeable, they needed to shut the set down.

They continued to say that the granola bars should not have been at craft and on set interval.

Keough stated: “I was just kind of like, ‘Oh f**k, that’s crazy.’ But also thank God that this woman caught it, because I had no idea!”

Thankfully, it didn’t take long for the movie’s set to open back up, once everyone was sure of Garfield’s safety.

Under the Silver Lake premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival before A24 distributed it in spring 2019.

Keough plays Sarah, the neighbor of Garfield’s character, Sam, who goes missing.

Her disappearance quickly incites a mysterious series of events that leads to a darker conspiracy.

The film received a mixed critical reception.

Director Mitchell later explained the idea behind the film, and told IndieWire: “It was an exploration of this dark and warped fantasy version of the world I saw around me. It’s going to disturbing places.

“It’s about movies and the city of LA and these strange contrasts: you have incredible wealth and fame as the city is constantly being renewed by people wanting the things people in the big houses in the hills have.”

He added: “Everyone I know there has felt the struggle, the conflict between love and art and wealth and comfort.”

It’s simply good that nobody was injured on set.
