According to Lloyd, the odd adventure kicked off after an Los Angeles movie premiere dinner alongside *RoboCop* star Peter Weller. Cher attended the same dinner gathering, and because Weller was already acquainted with the superstar singer, she extended an impromptu invitation to both actors to visit her residence for a nightcap. Upon stepping inside the lavish estate, Lloyd noticed the setting was remarkably peaceful yet surprisingly protected. While wandering down a residential wing, the star spotted unexpected security measures guarding the singer's private suite. A uniformed police officer was actively stationed on duty right outside her bedroom door, an encounter Lloyd quipped you certainly do not encounter every day.

After settling in, the trio shared drinks and enjoyed a relaxed hangout. As the cocktails flowed, however, reality suddenly hit the performer. Lloyd realized that he had completely neglected to update his partner about his whereabouts, knowing she was likely waiting on him and wondering where he had disappeared to for the night. Deciding to clear the air, Lloyd used the phone located right by Cher’s sleeping space to dial home and check in. Explaining his unbelievable location to a partner waiting on the other end of the line was no easy task, prompting a telling silence once the truth came out. Describing the encounter as a true personal highlight, the actor laughed off the sheer absurdity of delivering such unexpected news from an A-list icon's private retreat.
