I think I really liked Paige’s sarcasm, and kind of just her dryness. I’m curious, how much of Paige was you, as Rowan? And how much do you pull from maybe other characters in the genre? Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t skateboard, because I think I would have died. New on Hulu in April 2022: Every New Movie and TV Show This MonthĪnd Auli’i mentioned she had to learn to skateboard, because you guys do you have the really cute skateboarding moment where she pulls you across. But let’s just say that everyone on the set of “Crush” knows now I am not a runner. but I did have to not film because it was really - yeah, well I’ll save that full story for years down the road. I didn’t have to like go to the hospital. I actually am such a bad runner that I injured myself on set. I am a pretty unhealthy person, so this was a stretch for me. So at any point were you like, “Do we have to make them runners? Can we do something else here guys?” You guys are track stars in this movie and running is hard. I also want to ask about an aspect that would, at least if it were me, I would have said no.
That was what attracted me about the script was that it didn’t feel like it was about being gay. I felt like I was just setting out to make a comedy. I think overall, just everyone involved in the project was really - it never felt like we were setting out to make something that was, or at least for me, I didn’t feel like I was setting out to make something queer.
