The star then referenced to the director and said, ‘And Alex, he just had so much knowledge and facts and reasons behind everything that he was doing that I think all of us kind of took the step back and allowed him to play.

Jenna added, ‘And you know, show off their creative skills and talent and just let them be creative and imaginative so I think for me, I just trusted Alex completely. I think we all did.’
