Yes, we've seen some awkward moments in the past, especially on live TV. During an interview, anything can take place given that it is all unscripted. Just ask Michael Strahan, who was randomly asked about his divorces by Kelly Ripa...
What makes this scenario so unique, is the fact that it took place on a film set instead. Alexandra Daddario was still in her audition phase at this point, working a screentest alongside Zac Efron for 'Baywatch'. It was at that point, that the two stars were asked to completely improvise. They did just that and in addition, the exchange was so good, that they decided to use it in the actual film.

"Take care of your heart, take care of your brain. You’re good."
At the very least, putting the troubles he went through to obtain such a look, he managed to create some real lasting bonds with his co-stars.
