O’Leary explained that the scene was supposed to be safe at first. They used a fake paddle made of foam with a hinge, but it broke immediately and did not work as planned. Because of this, they switched to a real wooden paddle with grooves. Timothée Chalamet chose to perform the scene himself, even though an actor double was available. He wanted the moment to feel real and joked about “immortalizing” his performance on film.

During filming, the director, Josh Safdie, felt that the scene was not looking realistic. He asked O’Leary to hit harder. O’Leary said he used a motion like swinging a baseball bat to hit Chalamet’s right cheek. The actor reacted strongly, joking that his “eyeballs exploded,” but he remained professional and completed the scene. Both actors managed to keep the scene funny while maintaining safety on set.
