'American Horror Story Apocalypse': Billie Lourd recalls her experience in a tub for 7 hours to shoot episode 9

Billie Lourd, who plays Mallory in the latest 'American Horror Story' chapter revealed that time travel is hard not just as a spell, but also in real life

The recent episode of 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' involved a little bit on time travel and it proved to be difficult for Mallory and the gang. As it turns out it was a bit difficult to shoot in real life as well. Billie Lourd, who plays Mallory on the show, recently revealed in an interview with Variety that the water was a bit much.

"I've been wanting to talk about this!" she said excitedly before going on to confess that the reality was a bit different than she had imagined. "When I saw a bath scene on the page I was like, 'Oh great, I love a bath. … This is going to be a great time.' Cut to: I’m in the bath for [about] seven straight hours while they turn around. The stages are freezing — the stages are 57-degrees — so you don’t want to get out once you’re in."
