Speaking of the scene, the Shark Tank judge told Variety that his character “never felt satisfied that he suffered enough for what he did.”

According to him, the scene went on for hours, until 4 in the morning, because the director demanded around 40 takes. Not only that, but Kevin was using a real paddle because the prop one broke almost immediately.
