Our fall cover boys Chase Stokes, Drew Starkey, Jonathan Daviss and Rudy Pankow took a minute on set to tell us ~ just ~ how hard it is to shoot on location for their blockbuster Netflix hit ‘Outer Banks.’ The guys spilled about what it’s really like to shoot stunts, getting attacked by mosquitoes, swimming in cold water and days out at sea. Come for the behind the scenes info, stay for the bloopers.

00:00Hi, I'm Chase Stokes, I'm Drew Starkey, I'm Jonathan Davis, and I'm Rudy Pankow.
00:04And this is The Breakdown with Cosmo.
00:06And we're watching clips and letting you know what really happened.
00:08Who has the most in common with their hair?
00:10Most in common?
00:12That's tough though, because I've...
00:14Alright, you know what doesn't work?
00:16You know what?
00:18Okay.
00:20Out of the couch, probably you.
00:22You guys practice that?
00:30This is the first season now.
00:36Wow, this is where we have realized that that's where the gold is.
00:38The amount of mosquitoes on that set.
00:40The intensity.
00:42It was brutal.
00:44And then it cuts from like right there into...
00:46That's all in our stages.
00:48And that was the dirtiest I think I've ever been as a human being to date.
00:50I'm kind of claustrophobic too.
00:52So that too was not fun to be in.
00:54No.
00:56No!
00:58Oh yeah, that's all real.
01:00Me being claustrophobic and stuck in there and not being able to get out.
01:02I don't know, Tange.
01:04Tange is mad.
01:06It's fun to see those type of scenes where it goes from exterior on a location
01:08and how seamless it goes.
01:10I think my favorite moment
01:12has stayed the same
01:14when we find the gold
01:16and John B. jumps in the Twinkie
01:18and the Pogues kind of have this first big win
01:20and it sort of sets up the ending.
01:22The first big win.
01:24And it sort of sets up the entire season of these kids
01:26going after this one idea of being rich.
01:28And I think that's every teenager's dream.
01:30And then everything kind of goes south.
01:32I'm going to tell you how to do your job.
01:34I got one!
01:36Yeah, I got smacked with that wrench a lot by the way.
01:38Curly C was learning how to stage fight.
01:40So that wrench got me a couple times.
01:42How many times did you rehearse this fight?
01:44Not as many as we should.
01:46Shooting on that ship too
01:48it was the hottest
01:50like that's for sure real sweat.
01:52I mean it was like
01:54woah!
01:56We did what, four days straight?
01:58Maybe more.
02:00Including the top day.
02:02And when you go out there
02:04there's no doing your scene and going back
02:06so you have to stay on the boat
02:08for as long.
02:10So if you had one scene through
02:12you would normally have.
02:14I would sleep down in the cabin.
02:16The only scene that we had that was actually in the container
02:18where we're in it
02:20we shot that on our stages.
02:22Everything else was practical.
02:24Everything else was in the middle of the ocean.
02:26It was like our first major experience
02:28on some really daunting days.
02:32We got somebody on us.
02:34That's JJ and Key.
02:38This one was sick.
02:40Where am I?
02:42You're with Daddy.
02:44I just remember I had like a week off
02:46in the entirety of the show.
02:48They were like we're shooting nights for
02:50six days.
02:52The sequence took a while.
02:54That truck and that scooter
02:56are like attached with a little hitch.
02:58It's a motorcycle.
03:00Scooter? Really?
03:02It's a disrespector.
03:04The dirt bike and the truck
03:06are attached with a little hitch
03:08and so when they're doing the pass overs
03:10the bike is actually attached to the truck
03:12so that's pretty safe.
03:14Safe the entire time.
03:22Oh yeah, you got your legs bit by the gators.
03:24Yeah.
03:26I was during the winter.
03:28We shot all this stuff.
03:30It was so cold. We got to set that day
03:32and we were driving up and there was permafrost
03:34on all the bushes.
03:36We had issues with the hot tubs too
03:38because usually when you get in the water
03:40you get out of the water and then you go sit in the hot tub
03:42and after take four
03:44the hot tubs were filled with the swamp water
03:46and so we just all were huddled around
03:48space heaters.
03:50And that water interface feels like needles.
03:52It was like a cold plunge on steroids.
03:54Oh wait, they had to CGI breath out.
03:56Yeah.
03:58You came out of the water and you were like
04:00like breathing fire.
04:02Oh, you're a baby.
04:04Oh man, I was 19.
04:06You couldn't even legally drink.
04:08Couldn't do anything.
04:10You shoot him with a screwdriver.
04:12Yeah, I was going to pop him with a screwdriver.
04:14Was this the first scene that you guys
04:16shot?
04:18We re-shot this so many times
04:20and it was so early in the morning.
04:22Well, we kept having to re-shoot it
04:24and it was so early in the morning
04:26that we had to re-shoot it.
04:28It was so early in the morning
04:30Well, we kept having to re-shoot it
04:32because we messed up the light.
04:34And then that was the final time
04:36that we had shot it.
04:38It was like week 3, end of the show,
04:40so we had all kind of gotten enough chemistry
04:42and time to get to know each other a little better.
04:44And I think it really played into
04:46showing the dynamic of the friends.
04:48Yeah, there's one fall.
04:50There's my first fall.
04:52You only get one chance at a first impression.
04:54What's crazy is that fall right there,
04:56I had a piece of, I don't know,
04:58something go directly into my eardrum
05:00and that sucks.
05:02You've lost hearing in that.
05:04What?
05:06Do you have a favorite moment?
05:08I just like when I get to be on set with you guys
05:10because I never am.
05:12Aww!
05:14And that's the thing we appreciate
05:16the most about this show,
05:18is friendship.
