"We had read so many for Annie," Kaley explained, explaining the "intimidating" process that went into finding Zosia and her audition.

They also clarified that they'd never met prior to that day and had to perform a scene together which required them to improv a bit as well.

The moment led to another big part of their friendship, with Kaley improvising the "boop" to Zosia's nose as part of the scene, which she termed as "the moment our friendship was born."
