Garcia made a recommendation, which changed a key costuming decision in the sequence.
Bridget Fonda was extraordinary to work with, and thats my coat shes wearing, he said.
That’s my coat.

And initially, you know, they wanted her to be, you know, naked.
And she was very nervous.
And I said, No, no.
Shes not gonna be naked, no.
A rep for Fonda did not immediately respond to EWs request for comment.
It’s on the bed, it’s on the floor.
Let her come out in my coat.
And she went, Oh, beautiful.
Yeah, let’s do that.
And you know, they taped it so I wouldn’t open up and stuff like that.
Fonda has been retired from screen acting since her 2002 appearances in the TV seriesSnow QueenandThe Chris Isaak Show.
Garcia, on the other hand, has appeared in 15 projects in the 2020s alone.
In the same interview, Garcia also recalled accidentally injuring a stunt performer in the same sequence.
And he would go like, Yeah, man.
Grab me by the hair, you know.
It was like this guy was all in.
I grab him and he says something and I kind of give him a whack, right?
I got a little bit too close and I nipped the back of his head, Garcia continued.
So we did one take.
Then after they said cut, I went, Hey, man, you alright?
And he goes, No, man, that was wild!
He was totally into it.
I said, Okay, we dont need to do that again.
But what I did was clip him a little bit.”
