He continued, saying, “Wires got crossed, and it was the end of a shoot day, and I was sitting in my trailer all day but we had 40 minutes left to shoot. And then they bring me onto set and they’re like, ‘Ok we’re doing that choreo you learned back in November.’ I was like, ‘What?’ This was March. I forgot all of it; I did as much as I could and everyone on set was so supportive and encouraging.” While Bowen noted that it could have been difficult, “it ended up being this really wonderful moment of like I don’t know being buttressed by all these beautiful people.” On the topic of his sketch with Sydney, Bowen said that he was preparing to bring on an intimacy coordinator and wanted to make sure that Sydney was comfortable. However, she wasn’t worried at all. “I just remember being like we’re going to need an intimacy coordinator for this and it’s going to be completely up to your comfort and then she was like ‘Bowen, I’m on Euphoria. Like it’s not going to be anything,’” he shared. Bowen previously said that Sydney was “practically begging” to make certain jokes when she hosted the show.
