Booksmart opens with high school seniors celebrating their last day of school, and in the scene, Nico can be seen skating down a hallway while spraying a fire extinguisher. Nico's stunt was actually improvised on the spot, and he insisted on performing the stunt himself. "I'm pretty sure [director] Olivia [Wilde] was like, 'It'd be sick if you skated down the hall with the fire extinguisher.' I was like, 'OK, done. I'm so down,'" Nico told i-D. And when one of the film's stunt coordinators suggested using a stunt double, Nico put his foot down. "I was like, 'Excuse me, I'll do it better than a stunt double!'" he added. "And Olivia was stoked on it. She was pushing for that and she always told me that she really liked that shot."
