Dune: Part Two is taking the world by storm, with the sci-fi sequel already being labeled one of the best science fiction films ever made and the movie hitting 200 million at the worldwide box office just days after its release.
Of course, the fact that the Denis Villeneuve film’s cast is composed of talents such as Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, and Anya Taylor Joy may play a part in its staggering success.
But one of its stars has recently stolen the limelight for her hilarious and spontaneous interviews during the movie’s press tour: Rebecca Ferguson.

During an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the actress confessed that she hasn’t read the books the movies are based on.
“The last time we were together, you had not finished reading the book Dune,” the host said.
“And I still have not. But I keep lying in every interview,” the 40-year-old star quipped before asking Stephen what happens in part three of the novel.

During the same interview, the Mission: Impossible actress admitted that she likes “a bit of awkwardness” in her life and that it comes naturally to her.
To prove her point, she described a moment when she was asked if she was honored to work with talented male actors like Tom Cruise and Hugh Jackman, and she replied, “I don’t care that you have a d*ck.”
Also, in the span of a minute and a half, Rebecca spoke about her Swedish origins, joked about her husband being naked in the woods, and pitched herself as the host of the show.
In a separate interview, the Stockholm-born star recalled how her daughter found a dirty Willy Wonka-themed Valentine’s Day card with a picture of Timothée Chalamet dressed as the famous chocolate maker, which read, “Do you want to Wonka my Willy?”
Her daughter suggested buying the card in the shop because she thought Timothée looked just like her father.

Rebecca and her husband, businessman Rory St. Clair Gainer, tied the knot in 2018 in a private ceremony. The two share a daughter, reportedly named Sage, born in May of that year.
The actress is also the mother of a son, Isac, born in 2007 during her relationship with Ludwig Hallberg.
In an interview with the BBC’s The One Show, Rebecca delighted Dune fans by doing the sandwalk, which helps non-natives of the desert planet avoid dangerous, gigantic sandworms, and she tried to convince Florence Pugh to do the same.
Let’s not forget about the time she revealed that she asked Austin Butler whether his deep, husky voice was real. After all, the 32-year-old actor dropped the accent in preparation for the role of Elvis in the 2022 biopic, and people have noted that his voice hasn’t been the same ever since.

Here's a compilation of her funniest moments over the years
The praise for Rebecca’s charm and authenticity comes after the actress shared that an “absolute idiot” once screamed at her while they were filming a movie.
"This human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out.
"I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at. But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me.
"So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set."
The talented actress stood up for herself, telling the unnamed co-star to “get off my set.” She also told them to “f** off” and that she never wanted to work with them again.
After fan speculation, her former co-stars Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson spoke out to set the record straight that they were not involved in the incident.
"Protect this woman at all costs," a fan wrote
