Dune Stars Take Children’s-In-Eud Prank Interview
For BBC Children in Need, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor-Joy interviewed Rylan Clark while children fed them lines through earpieces. The stars’ instructions sent the supposedly straightforward press interview into comic chaos, giving Dune: Part Three a playful spot in the charity broadcast.
Why it worked: It hijacked a live charity tentpole with A‑list talent in a role reversal prank, delivering guaranteed broadcast moments and built‑in buzz.
The lesson: Consider staging a role‑reversal prank at a national tentpole event, scripting chaos via unexpected prompters to guarantee clip‑worthy coverage.
