“Everybody thought it was so funny. Everybody’s laughing, but I did not find it funny. The third time, I was infuriated,” Bolleau said.
“Like, I was so mad that the director hurried and put me on the side of the set and was like, ‘Listen, Raquel. Breathe in. Breathe out. She’s the star of the show.’”
