Powell described the scene during the interview Entertainment WeeklyHe said he liked the idea of the scene because he “found it very, very funny and it was something I’d never seen in a movie before.” But he also admits that when it came time to make a movie, he “regretted agreeing to it.”

“Because I accepted that scene in the summer and we shot that scene on a rooftop in Bulgaria in February,” he said. “So walking around in a towel in front of a team is one thing, but being wrapped in a towel in cold Bulgaria in February is a sight.”
