'The Little Drummer Girl' star Alexander Skarsgard reveals the intense negotiation that went into filming the Acropolis scene

We loved to watch Charlie and Becker go on their first date to the historical monument in 'The Little Drummer Girl', but it didn't come very easily.

We could barely hold our breaths during the iconic scene of the first episode of 'The Little Drummer Girl' when Becker, played by Alexander Skarsgard, takes Charlie (played by Florence Pugh) on the top of the Acropolis. When Charlie sighed as to how she would ever fall in love after this, we couldn't agree more as the spectacular Acropolis served as the perfect setting for the romantic scene. However, a lot of negotiation went into receiving the permission to shoot the scene at the historical citadel.
