Jennifer mentioned, “We talked about how we had been gonna do that [scene] again and again. I used to be so afraid to hit Jane Fonda within the face or damage her in any approach. And actually, her character was very very like her, and my character on the time was very very like me. I used to be so afraid of her, and she or he was so brazen, and like, ‘Simply hit me! Don’t be concerned about it! It is gonna be effective!’ I used to be like, ‘No, I do not wanna damage you!’ And she or he was like, ‘Let’s simply go! Simply acquired for it!’
And so, I used to be like, ‘I am gonna poke you,’ and I do, like this little poke. And she or he kinda hits me again, after which she pokes me again. After which the subsequent factor , she actually went for it on a type of slaps…We mentioned, ‘Let’s simply maintain slapping one another till we cease.’ The scene took on a lifetime of its personal in a approach that we by no means imagined. I do not even suppose we had been imagined to slap one another.
I simply keep in mind afterwards, Jane had a blood blister on the high of her eye. My nail, like, went up into her eye. I used to be mortified. I used to be mortified. I used to be like, ‘Oh my God, I am so sorry.’ And she or he was like, ‘It is effective. It is effective…” And she or he did not care. She’s such a gangster bitch. I simply love her.”
