  "account": "During the promotional interviews for \"Dune: Part 3,\" actors Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, and Anya Taylor-Joy engaged in a playful prank on BBC presenter Rylan Clark. The trio was actually being guided by a group of children, as part of the BBC's Children in Need charity initiative. The children issued commands to the actors, who had to follow them while appearing to be having an interview. One child instructed Anya Taylor-Joy to meditate, prompting her to close her eyes and ask others to join her in the practice. Chalamet and Zendaya then joined in the chanting, with Taylor-Joy explaining that it was necessary to reset the energy. In another instance, Chalamet was told to get up and stroke Clark's beard, which he reluctantly obliged to a chorus of laughter from the children in the control room. The prank began to unfold as the press for \"Dune: Part 3\" was well underway, with the film set to release on December 18, 2026, amidst stiff competition from other major releases, including Marvel's \"Avengers: Doomsday\".",
