Adams, who made his Broadway debut in the Take Me Out revival featuring Ferguson, said he was initially "terrified" of being in a play "where we had to be naked every night."
"You have to be fully naked," Ferguson, 49, reiterated to his listeners.
Ferguson then recalled the first time Adams went nude in front of the cast during rehearsals, claiming that while all the other cast members were wearing bathing suits, Adams was in his birthday suit.
"You take off your towels and you are the only one naked," Ferguson told Adams, who said he didn't even remember the situation.
"Like I'm the only that got the memo," Adams quipped while adding that he has "clearly blocked out" the memory.
But at the time, Ferguson said he thought Adams was the "only one who was like, 'Okay, I'm actually going to go, I'm going to do this.'"
"I guess maybe [director] Scott [Ellis] like put it out in a way, like if you feel comfortable, go ahead. And you were like, 'Yeah, let's go. I think we're all doing it together.'"

Adams said he was "not comfortable" at all with the situation, despite being the only actor on the stage to show up to rehearsal naked. Eventually, he inspired the rest of the cast members in the scene to take off their bathing suits.
As for actually performing the nude scene in front of an audience, Adams said it was "so intense that I think I actually truly had to leave my body every night."
