In a 2 June interview with Entertainment Weekly, Depp revealed that her costar Tesfaye would sometimes get so in character during filming that she knew to "steer clear" from him. "I don't think anybody went full method — nobody lost their minds," she said. "Well, sometimes when Abel would get — I don't want to reveal too much about where Abel's character goes, but when he would be in full Tedros mode sometimes, I would steer clear of him. I'd be like, 'He's in his zone right now.'"
While Depp didn't elaborate further on what "full Tedros mode" means, she also told the outlet that the shoot was fun, despite the heavy topics. "For something that does, of course, explore darker themes and has some pretty heavy emotional moments to it and everything, the vibe on set was quite lighthearted," she explained. "We're all really good friends, and we all are similar people and really understand each other. We were having a lot of laughs, listening to a lot of music, dancing around; and that kind of energy is what made the heavier moments easier and possible, because whenever you knew that there was a bigger, emotional scene coming up, you felt like you were surrounded by people that you feel comfortable with, people that have your back, and you feel that in the show."
