OF ‘THE MOSQUITO COAST’ ON APPLE TV+
How did you like filming scenes in the Mexican jungle for Season 2 of “The Mosquito Coast”?
Look, I think because I’m so invested in (her character of Margot) that I didn’t really know where I was. I don’t feel I paid attention, to be really honest. I don’t know, if somebody left me there I’d be lost. I had no idea where they dropped me. I had no idea where I was filming specifically.

don’t even have to talk or explain what we’re doing. We just respond off each other so well. We’ve worked together since “Mulholland Drive.” That was a role I did with David Lynch ... . And it’s so funny that there’s this familiarity and he was also pivotal in me getting the role and now we’re married in the jungle. It’s kind of an incredible sort of almost like you know each other so well that to work together is just effortless.
