Dune: Part 3 Stars Prank Interviewer With Children’s Instructions
Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet and Anya Taylor-Joy pranked presenter Rylan Clark during an interview about Dune: Part 3.
Children watching from the wings used secret microphones to tell the actors what to do.
The prank was part of the BBC’s Children in Need initiative, which involved the children giving the stars instructions during the conversation.
Taylor-Joy paused to meditate, while Zendaya stood and chanted “ohm” as Chalamet joined in.
Chalamet eventually followed an instruction to stroke Clark’s beard, with Zendaya joking that it looked smooth and shiny.
Dune: Part 3 is scheduled for release on Dec.
