Riley Keough dished on an unusual incident that she had while filming Under the Silver Lake with co-star Andrew Garfield.

In a video interview with Vanity Fair, the Daisy Jones & the Six actress shared that the movie set was temporarily shut down after she was discovered eating a granola bar with peanuts in it.

Keough was getting ready to film a scene, in which she was going to lock lips with the Tick, Tick, Boom! actor.

"It was actually very stressful," Keough said. "I was in the makeup trailer and I was eating a granola bar or something, and I was about to shoot a scene where I have to kiss Andrew."

While she was getting her makeup done, the artist noticed the snack Keough was having and asked if there were peanuts in that.

Keough responded a little confused, and said that it might contain nuts. The War Pony director added that the makeup artist "ran away" and got a producer who was a friend of Keough’s.

"The producer came in and was like, ‘Riley, Andrew’s very allergic to peanuts and we have to shut the set down,’" Keough continued.

"It shouldn’t have been at craft, and I don’t know why they’re on set. It 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."

Keough and Garfield had starred together in the 2018 mystery-thriller that was directed by David Robert Mitchell.

Apart from the incident, Keough shared that Under the Silver Lake was a "very cool movie to film because it was in Los Angeles."

She added, "I’ve only ever been able to film three things in Los Angeles, which is where I live."
