Noah Centineo Improvised His Shirtless 'Sierra Burgess Is a Loser' Scene!

Noah Centineo had a big part in his shirtless scene in Sierra Burgess Is a Loser!

According to director Ian Samuels, the 22-year-old actor improved his reaction when Sierra didn’t respond to the text with his selfie.

“I remember when [Noah] did his [shirtless] selfie, I encouraged him to think, How do you cover for yourself when you think the other person thinks you made a huge mistake? And I would just let the cameras roll and we would see, the longer Shannon wouldn’t respond, the more uncomfortable Noah would get,” Ian explained to ET.

He continued, “I think the direction I gave him was, ‘I want you to start try to cover for yourself if it’s taking too long and find a way to tell her you were just kidding.’ In the script, it was just “JK,” and then Noah gets to feel out his own rhythm and when he felt like it was actually taking too long and go through all those beats. Some of that was improvised; I think he writes ‘hahahahaha’ and then I told him to delete it. And there was the anxiety over the ellipsis that I wanted to show.”

We think Noah‘s reaction was totally accurate!
