And all I could do was giggle,&#8221; Faris said, citing her instinct to use humor to cope with the situation. &#8220;I remember looking around and I remember seeing the crew members being like, &#8216;Wait, what are you going to do about that? That seemed weird.&#8217; And that's how I dismissed it.&#8221; Faris continued, &#8220;I was like, &#8216;Well, this isn't a thing.
