Dune Cast Prank Rylan Clark on BBC Children in Need

Children controlled the actors' lines through earpieces to drive donations under the Challenge Yourself 2026 campaign.

Overview

  • Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor‑Joy took part in a staged prank on presenter Rylan Clark during a filmed junket setup.
  • Three unnamed children fed instructions to the actors through earpieces, directing lines and actions that left Clark visibly baffled.
  • A teaser shows Chalamet checking his phone to claim he was winning an online auction for an air fryer before saying, “No, I’ve lost the lead.”
  • The full segment will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer during the BBC Children in Need appeal show on 13 November, which Clark is co‑hosting.
  • The stunt is presented to raise money for the charity’s Challenge Yourself 2026 campaign and also functions as publicity ahead of Dune: Part Three’s cinema release on 18 December.
