“I think Sam brought me back to torture me,” Elordi said, mocking creator Sam Levinson. “It was like six weeks of being beaten by a seven-foot-tall man. I was running the whole time.” The first time viewers saw Nate’s suffering came on his wedding night to Cassie, played by Sydney Sweeney, when he was beaten and had his toe cut off.
This led to “a lot of people inquiring about my parts,” Elordi quipped about the on-screen injury that coincided with an off-screen injury when he broke both his heels.

Then Sam put snakes in the coffin,” Elordi explained, adding that his co-star was kinder than he expected. “He had a very gentle personality. He was very docile and very sleepy. I don’t think he got much sunlight. … I was kind of pushing him, trying to get him to get active and do the scene, because he was supposed to be a threat. But he was like a little dog. He just kept curling up at my feet.”
