Garrett Graham actor Belmont Cameli has revealed the truth about how the now-infamous toe-curling moment in Off Campus was filmed, and somehow it’s even more awkward than the scene itself. Now, anyone who’s read Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus book series will know that when Hannah and Garrett first get together is one of the most iconic moments of The Deal. It’s sexy, heartfelt, and a breakthrough for the couple. And, frankly, the Prime Video series absolutely nails it in terms of adapting it for the screen.

Hannah trusts Garrett enough to do this for her, and he does everything he can to make her feel comfortable. When they start hooking up, she’s enjoying it, but her past trauma keeps taking her out of the moment. And so Garrett comes up with an idea: giving themselves an orgasm in front of each other. In the series, we finally see this scene reenacted by Belmont Cameli and Hannah star Ella Bright, and it’s done incredibly well. ‘Back in My Body’ by Maggie Rogers plays in the background and grows increasingly louder as the two get closer to the, ahem, end goal. Amazingly, it’s not awkward… except during the climax, when the camera suddenly zooms in on Garrett’s toes curling. For reasons no one can quite explain, this brief close-up has completely derailed the fandom. Viewers have been sharing videos of themselves screaming with laughter at the clip, with many saying the intense close-up of Cameli’s digits caught them off guard. @777spring this scene was sooo good until we saw the toes curling 🤣🤣🤣 BUT this was me af everytime dean was on my screen #offcampus @Off Campus ♬ original sound – jade It’s the sheer sincerity of it that makes it so funny. The music swells, the chemistry is chemistry-ing, and then BAM: Full-screen toe acting. Let it be known that this isn’t a complaint – if nothing else, it’s at least memorable. And it’s going to be even more so when you find out how the scene was filmed. Turns out Belmont Cameli filmed the moment completely alone Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Cameli explained, “ I’ll tell a funny story about an intimacy scene. @entertainmenttonight Belmont Cameli shares the most awkward spicy scene he had to film in ‘Off Campus.’ 😭 #belmontcameli #offcampus ellabright ♬ original sound – Entertainment Tonight – Entertainment Tonight “In episode four, there’s the scene where you think that Hannah and Garrett are just gonna have sex, and he’s gonna give her that orgasm. But it doesn’t turn out that way. “We shot that all day long, except for the little part where I get myself off in the TV show, we didn’t get to.” Do you see where this is going? “A couple of days later, I went back with the camera guys and I just did that little portion.” That’s right – that moment was actually just Cameli acting solo alongside the camera guys (toes and all). “It was so funny. I was alone in the room,” he added. “It was insane. And I was like, ‘All right, boys, look away.’” Of course, the comments section has plenty of references to the toes, with one sharing a screenshot of his feet alongside the caption, “I can’t.” “The performative toe curl gave me the biggest ick,” wrote another, while a third added, “I know this still is going to haunt him for the rest of his acting career lol.” While many fans skipped past this part, others enjoyed the toe-curl surprise. As said by one, “This part made me giggle, but omg did I love it.” For all the latest film and TV updates and hot takes, like our Facebook page.
