He said: ‘I was on the verge of having a panic attack so I needed to get into something much more loose and comfortable.
‘With our schedules, I just didn’t know where it would happen. We spend a lot of time on planes, so at one point I thought, maybe I could wake her up by going down on one knee in the aisle and give her a nice heart attack at 34,000ft!’

He explained: ‘I wanted her parents to like me. And I think I was even more nervous with her mom…
‘When I met her for the first time, I was trying to stay out of the sun, because I was filming Gypsy and needed to look pale because my character was depressed.
‘I was in Topanga Canyon in long sleeves, sunglasses and this big hat pulled down low.
‘I was all covered up like a freak! In hindsight, it’s like, ”Dude, you are being so weird in front of her mum.” She says she doesn’t remember, but I think she’s just being kind…’
Covered up: The actor explained he was dressed in clothes that shielded every inch of his skin, as he had to be pale for an upcoming role
Karl also admitted that when he and Zoe first started dating in 2016, he felt a need to smarten up his usually laid-back wardrobe.
He explained: ‘When we started dating, I did feel like I needed to get nicer clothes. It’s funny, over time you relax around each other more, and that’s when Zoe started commenting that she really liked how I was dressing.
‘I was like, ‘this is how I’ve been dressing since middle school’. You know, sneakers, baggy pants and oversized T-shirts. I could have saved myself all that money.’
