Riley Keough shut down film set after eating peanuts before kissing Andrew Garfield

The star had no idea that Garfield was severely allergic to nuts

Riley Keough revealed that she once got an entire set shut down after eating peanuts before filming a scene with severely allergic, Andrew Garfield.

Keough and Garfield appeared together in the 2018 black comedy Under the Silver Lake, which centred on Sam (played by Garfield) investigating the disappearance of his neighbour Sarah (played by Keough).

In the movie, the two stars share a kiss - and in reality that was almost very bad news for Garfield.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Keough explained that between takes she’d been tucking into a granola bar when a makeup artist began quizzing her about its ingredients.

"I was in the makeup trailer and I was eating, like, a granola bar or something, and I was about to shoot a scene where I have to kiss Andrew," Keough explained.

"And the makeup lady was like, 'Are there peanuts in that?'"

Keough admitted that she wasn’t actually sure, but - naturally - with the risk of kicking off a severe allergic reaction, the movie’s bosses weren't about to take any chances.

The makeup artist alerted the flick’s producer who then raised the alarm.

Keough recalled: "The producer came in and was like, 'Riley, Andrew's very allergic to peanuts and we have to shut the set down. It shouldn't have been at craft, and I don't know why they're on set.'”

Keough says until that point she had no clue about Garfield’s allergy and added: “It was just kind of like, 'Oh f**k, that's crazy.’

"But also thank God that this woman caught it, because I had no idea!"

Garfield has previously spoken about his allergies - revealing that he once went into anaphylactic shock after going out for a meal with his Never Let Me Go co-stars, Kiera Knightley and Carey Mulligan, which he described as ‘awkward’. I think that’s putting it mildly.

In an interview with Marie Claire back in 2011, he said: "When we were filming in Norfolk, I went to dinner with Carey and Keira one night. There I was sitting in-between these beautiful girls, when I started having an allergic reaction to something in my food.

"I had to spend the rest of that night in hospital. Alex Garland [screenwriter] took me. I'm used to it, because I've been in hospital a few times with this, but Carey was beside herself and Keira was terrified. It was just the most awkward moment ever, to go into anaphylactic shock at dinner."
