The actress recalled that she immediately took off her earrings and put them on. She added that Christopher Nolan then thanked them and even said she could leave the earrings after the filming was over. She laughed about it and said she gave them away as requested. In her words:
"I promptly took out my earrings and wore them. Christopher Nolan turned around and said, 'Oh, they're lovely. You can leave them behind after your shoot."
