After 10 episodes of buildup, the series finale depicts an epic battle in which Cady invades the Bowden’s home, placing Anna and Tom on “trial” for colluding against him and threatening their children. Popular on Variety “[Episode] 10 felt almost like a play,” Collias said.

“It was just the family and him in the house, and we were doing the most insane things and laughing so hard off camera. It felt like such a joy that it was actually a beautiful time.” Before filming one violent sequence in which Cady grabs Natalie by the hair, Collias says Bardem politely apologized in advance and made sure she felt comfortable with the physicality. “We would go through such weird circumstances, it’s little things that make me still giggle to this day,” Collias said.

“In Episode 10, there’s one point where he has to grab me by my hair, and before the scene, he’s like, ‘I’m so sorry, my love. Is it OK if I just — I’m going to grab you like that?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s fine.’ Then we start rolling and I see this thing coming up to me and I’m like, ‘What the fuck?! Well, OK, that’s your job!’” When asked about filming the intense finale scenes, Bardem smirked, explaining how he’s learned to lean into the “play” involved with acting as he’s gotten older.

“For me, it’s more about a game,” Bardem said. “You use your imagination to jump in and step out of it. I respect everybody’s process, as long as those processes respect other people’s processes.

For me, the fun part is to really be part of a group of people that imagine things that don’t exist, and they create it together based on the fact that it’s all a big lie.” ‘Dance Moms’ Parody Musical Adds ‘Titaníque’ Director and Co-Creator Tye Blue as Creative Producer (EXCLUSIVE) ‘A Star Is Born’ Producer Lynette Howell Taylor Re-Elected Academy President Alfonso Ribeiro on Social Media Fueling ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Success and Urging Contestants to Ignore the Trolls: ‘Why Are We So Mean to One Another?
