A true story fromDonald Glover’s sex life made it intoSwarm.
The Prime Video cult series included a full-frontal shot of Rory Culkin as his character surprisedSwarm’s heroine Dre (Dominique Fishback) the morning after a one-night stand.
In the series, when Dre woke up, Culkin’s character offered her a bowl of strawberries — which just happen to be next to his genitals.
It turns out, Glover tried a similar undercarriage ambush after a hookup.
“Donald told this very funny story about a girl who he really liked, and how after they hooked [up], he was standing there witha bowl of cherries, just being like, ‘Hey,'” the show’s co-creator Janine Nabers told Insider.

In Glover’s real life, the cherries weren’t a hit. “She was like, so not into it, because it’s so weird to hook up with a guy that you barely know and then wake up with him holding a bowl of cherries,” Nabers added.
It was Nabers’ decision to add the bit into theSwarmscript — and Glover, 39, didn’t argue.
