Icelandic 101 With Laufey: Timothée Chalamet, Andrew Garfield, and More Get Schooled to Master Pronunciation
Fans may look up to their favorite stars and actors as superheroes and think as highly as they can, but none are masters of everything. Hollywood A-listers like Andrew Garfield, Timothée Chalamet, James Corden, and Colman Domingo may excel in acting, but the newest star in the spotlight, Laufey recently revealed one area where they all fall short. Years of training, character building, and self-work all went for naught for these stars when Laufey taught them a lesson, humbly putting their skills to the test.
Unlike stunts and scripts, this was something that had the actors tested then and there, competing with each other in varying degrees of success.

As it happened on the Graham Norton Show, Icelandic songstress Laufey enchanted the audience with her festive performance, 'Christmas Magic'. However, the conversation took an interesting turn when the host struggled to pronounce her name, prompting Laufey to clarify, "it's pronounced Lay Vey, very clean Icelandic but nobody in the world can say Vey".
This was the moment when the actors knew they were up for a lively challenge among the show's guests, including Andrew Garfield and Timothée Chalamet, who eagerly attempted to replicate the correct pronunciation. Maximizing their linguistic skills to their level best, the actors repeated after Laufey, showcasing their willingness to learn and have fun. The songstress kept guiding them with their tongue until the majority of them got it right, or at least somewhere nearer.
The humor and laughter did not end there as all the actors were up to share the latest highlight in their lives that got people talking.
Andrew Garfield's candid confession on the We Live In Time scenes served the highlight
As for Colman Domingo, it was his latest Oscar nomination. For Andrew Garfield, it was all hot and steamy. The We Live In Time star shared his experience filming the much-talked-about se- scenes with Florence Pugh. The experience, as he admitted, was nerve-wracking, leaving him and his co-stars feeling vulnerable. The cast and crew were struck by the intense chemistry between the two actors, which made the scenes feel awkward to film.
