What they’re saying

“The giggling that we did was insane. Towards the end [of filming], we were laughing with [costar] Will Poulter, and I literally peed on myself. Straight up. Baby was pushing on just the right area, and we were laughing so much that I was like, 'You guys, stop. I'm going to pee.' I actually did. Like, I had to go home.”
