Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor-Joy Caught in BBC Children in Need Prank
Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor-Joy were the targets of a prank for the BBC's Children in Need charity special, and the joke will air in full on BBC One.
The four stars sat down with Rylan Clark for what was presented as a press junket, the run of short interviews film stars do to promote a new release. The film in question was Dune: Part Three. The chat was staged, and the stars did not know what was coming.
During the interview, children's voices came through the earpieces the stars were wearing, telling them what to do. Deadline reported the details of the set-up and said the prank was pre-recorded.
The full prank will be shown during the Children in Need show, which starts at 7 p.m. GMT from the BBC's Salford headquarters. Rylan Clark is one of several hosts of the programme.
Children in Need is an annual appeal. It raises money for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK, and it has been running for nearly 50 years. The night is built around fundraising, and the celebrity segments are one part of a long evening of television.
Dune: Part Three launches in the UK on December 18, a few weeks after the broadcast. Viewers who tune in on Friday night will see the stars' reactions on screen, not only in a clip.
