"It was an interesting dynamic that we had to balance," she noted, highlighting the necessity of adapting to the physical constraints imposed by the handcuffs.

Hoyle expressed that while the situation proved challenging, it ultimately contributed to a richer portrayal of their characters on screen. The commitment to bringing authenticity to their roles was paramount, as the constraints of the handcuffs required quick adaptability and resilience from both performers.
