Riley Keough’s Peanut Allergy Almost Ruined Intimate Moment with Andrew Garfield

Sometimes, a simple snack can turn into a major disruption on a film set. Actress Riley Keough recently shared a story about how a potentially peanut-filled treat caused chaos during the production of her 2019 movie, Under the Silver Lake. Keough recounted the “stressful” experience in a Vanity Fair video, explaining that she was in the makeup trailer enjoying a granola bar before a kissing scene with her co-star Andrew Garfield. It was then that the makeup artist questioned if there were peanuts in the snack. Uncertain, Keough’s response prompted the makeup artist to alert a producer, who made the decision to shut down the set due to Garfield’s severe peanut allergy. Keough admitted that she had no knowledge of her co-star’s condition until that moment, highlighting the importance of the situation being caught in time. Directed by David Robert Mitchell, Under the Silver Lake centers around the character Sam, played by Garfield, as he embarks on a quest to find a missing woman named Sarah, played by Keough. Sam’s obsessive nature leads him down a rabbit hole of occultism, codes, and numerology. While the film received mixed reviews, with some finding it perplexing and self-indulgent, others appreciated its unconventional narrative and unpredictable ending. Despite its flaws, the movie managed to captivate and entertain viewers. Keough’s peanut incident serves as a reminder of the unexpected challenges that can arise during the production of a film.
