From confusion and surprise to thirst and awe, people were shocked when they saw that scene in Prime Video’s Swarm. You know, the scene where a nude Rory Culkin offers strawberries to Dre after they hooked up? Yeah, that one. It went viral, and now, Janine Nabers, the co-creator of the Amazon Prime series, has revealed that this awkward viral moment was actually inspired by a story Donald Glover, the show's other co-creator, told her about an awkward hook-up of his own, that involved cherries.
The scene in question comes right after Dre, the show’s main character, loses her virginity after meeting and hooking up with a random dude (played by Rory Culkin) at a club. When she wakes up, Culkin’s character is naked and washing a bowl of strawberries. He walks over to Dominique Fishback’s character with the glass bowl of berries, and he offers her one while holding the see-through bowl against his flaccid penis. Turns out this incredibly awkward scene was inspired by a story Donald Glover told Janine Nabers, and she told Insider how this true story helped inspire this now viral scene in Swarm.
