Riley Keough recounts the incident:
It was very stressful. 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.

The producer came over and said, ‘Riley, Andrew is very allergic to peanuts and we have to stop filming.’
The producer in question then clarified that the cereal bar should not have been part of the snacks offered on the set.
“I was like, ‘Oh f******, this is crazy.’ But thank goodness that woman saw it because I had no idea,” added Riley Keough.
