Nicholas Hoult found Ralph Fiennes a "very intimidating" presence while filming The Menu, while co-star Anya Taylor-Joy felt strangely comfortable around the actor.
Fiennes leads the cast of director Mark Mylod's thriller as celebrity chef Julian Slowik, who has lured wealthy clients to his island restaurant for an unconventional, sinister evening of high-end cuisine.
The Menu is in UK cinemas from 18 November.
