Before saying yes to the film, Lily-Rose couldn’t help but recall more than a few childhood memories with Jack, 22.

For the past two years, Jack has reportedly been working at L’Area, a Lebanese restaurant in Paris. “Jack is a great guy,” owner Edouard Chueke told the Daily Mail in an interview published December 7. “He keeps out of the limelight, but worked here behind the bar and in the kitchen.”

“We were called the Pink Elephants and it was all about elephants,” she said with a laugh. “We were both all about elephants as kids and she had this pink elephant stuffed animal. It was highly coveted in the group. … At some point, the band had to break up and we didn’t quite go all the way.”
Nosferatu is in theaters everywhere on December 25. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs on NBC weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET.
