Noble told the outlet that through it all, Chalamet was “so down and wonderful to work,” during her pregnancy. He held her secret close to his chest, making sure she didn’t have to share her news before she was ready.
The television director recalled a moment on set when the cast unexpectedly had to run up the stairs to meetReneé Rapp’s Leighton Murray before she left Essex.
“We hadn’t scripted that they were going to sprint up the stairs. And then I was like, ‘Oh my God, does she feel comfortable doing this?’ I’m still one of the only people who knows,” he shared withEW. “I, on a little pad, wrote down, ‘Are you okay with this?’ And then I literally, like a seventh grader, wrote: ‘Yes, no, maybe.'”

“So she was like, ‘Yeah, ok, no problem. And this is how we’ll handle it,’ " she added. “And everyone was so supportive.”
