“No, I definitely will. I feel like I’m seeing him soon,” replied Dimoldenburg.
“We just brought humor before we tag in and humor after we tag out, which made everything less serious and kept us in that suspension of disbelief,” Perez told PEOPLE. “That’s how I go through life, finding the humor in everything, the levity, and I brought that. I think Nick’s very similar.”
“It was just choreography,” he added. “We would be counting in our heads like a dance: ‘Grab one, two; squeeze one, two.’ "
Meanwhile, London-born Galitzine revealed how he relied on British brand Smints to keep his breath minty fresh for the takes. “It’s a little mint,” he explained. “You want to stay fresh when you’re doing these scenes. Lots of making out.”

“Making intimacy super serious can be a bad thing because you get really in your head about it,” he continued. “Taylor and I, we have enough trust and respect in each other that it was all about always feeling comfort and being able to communicate.”
Perez plays Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of America’s first female president, who strikes up an unprecedented romance with England’s Prince Henry (Galitzine) following a long-standing feud.
