Came for the tea, stayed for the chaos. Join David Corenswet (Superman), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor) for a very giggly afternoon tea. #Superman #LookUp
Somebody should have told us that before we embarrassed ourselves.
Hello, I'm David Corrinswet.
And I'm Rachel Brosnahan.
I'm Nicholas Holt, and every day I have afternoon tea.
Today, I invited my friends to join me and learn some decent etiquette.
Now, Nick, this is your living room, correct?
Hello. Thank you for coming to my house.
Rachel, I know you are 50% British.
Yeah.
How does that feel?
Would you like some tea?
I would love some tea, but only 50%.
Great question.
It was mentioned before we started filming.
Some people like to put the milk in the cup first.
Would you like me to do that for you?
Absolutely not.
No, that's a horrendous idea.
This is British breakfast, English breakfast tea.
Oh, yeah.
Because I know sometimes...
Do you have any American breakfast tea?
No.
Unfortunately, not.
There you go. Enjoy.
And then the milk's right there.
Help yourself.
Do you have to put milk in it?
If you do as a Brit, I feel like.
But it is frowned upon if you don't.
Good to know.
And neither of you have.
No.
Well, I was waiting.
I didn't know.
You poured the tea.
I thought maybe you were pouring the milk, too.
You're ruining my tea.
Pour the milk.
I can't, Rachel.
Is that enough?
Yeah, it's lovely.
Stir.
Do I stir it?
Stir.
And do I not?
Don't shake it.
You're not clinking the glass.
Definitely don't clink.
But does it matter which way you stir?
Stir like a gentleman.
I think if you're in the Northern Hemisphere,
you stir counterclockwise,
and if you're in the Southern Hemisphere...
Now, you've done something very good, I think,
not really being that well-versed in etiquette.
You've picked up the saucer.
I know, and I haven't.
Is that a good thing, to pick up the saucer?
Do we know?
Because that's bad.
It's bad.
Look at us.
Look at us, brutes.
Neanderthals.
Well done, Rachel.
And I'm a real lady.
That's 50% is going perfectly.
Well done.
OK.
Thank you.
Somebody should have told us that
before we embarrassed ourselves.
Pinkies out.
Pinkies out, of course.
No, down.
Down?
Pinkie down.
Street down.
In, not down.
Perfect.
Pinkies down, everyone.
Get your pinkies under control.
Get your pinkies down.
Should we cheers?
That feels polite.
Very unclassy.
Oh.
Cheers, I believe.
Again, knowing nothing about...
Well, in my living room, I do cheers.
Go on.
Cheers.
Live a little while.
Cheers, darling.
I'm not sure about the color of all the tea we've created.
That's nice.
It's looking a bit like chocolate milk.
It's strong.
Anyway.
Oh, we all slurped.
Probably not good.
Only in your living room.
Anyway.
Up here, we have a couple of scones for you to try.
Some with raisins, some without.
What would everybody like?
Yes, but what do you call them here?
A scone?
No.
Raisins.
Raisins?
Yeah, I called something else.
I called them raisins.
Is there another name for them?
I thought you called them something else.
Oh.
Itchy, witchy, dried up berries.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I was looking for.
Itchy, witchy, dried up berries.
You have to say it really quickly.
I would like them with them.
Itchy, witchy, dried up berries, please.
Oh, we forgot to put our napkins on.
Oh, rude.
Napkins on your lats.
For tea or for the scones?
For everything.
Now, we're going to have a bite of scone.
I think with raisins, could be sultanas.
We're not sure.
Please help yourselves.
I won't put my grubby paws on them.
I probably should serve you.
It's probably the right etiquette.
I was going to say, Nick, be a dear and tear my scone for me.
I beg your pardon?
That is, you're right there.
You're right.
It is correct to tear, not to cut the scone.
Okay.
Would everybody like some jam and clotted cream?
It's under-baked.
It's just...
So you bought them?
Flavors are wonderful, but...
Is there rhubarb?
Oh, what jam is this?
What jam is this?
I thought it was meant to be like strawberry jam.
It's what?
Rhubarb jam?
I've never had rhubarb jam.
Would you like some?
Yeah, is this the thing to put on next?
Well, I've never had it.
Let's give it a try.
They're all rhubarb.
Jam first is Cornish.
Yeah, and then wheat first is Devon.
The Devon, so it's...
Devonshire cream.
So Cornish is Cornwall, or Cornish is another place?
Cornwall is below Devon, geographically.
Why do you say Cornish, but not Devonshire?
Devonshire.
Or Devonian.
Devonian?
Very good, very good.
I like that.
I'm not doing it.
I prefer the Devonian method.
So, what, cream first?
Cream first.
Is it...
What if you do jam on one side and cream on the other?
Oh, you're going to make a sandwich?
Mm, that's...
Fascinating.
...quite American.
How do we feel about it?
How is it as a sandwich?
Oh, you're sandwiching your scone.
I don't know if that's correct,
but I applaud you for being a revolutionary.
Oh, next round.
We created a few little mini cakes for you to try.
Milk chocolate and lemon gâteau
and a vanilla and raspberry cheesecake.
Please help yourselves.
Which would you recommend trying first?
Cherry.
Are you guys going to finish your scones?
I probably won't.
I was about to say, this is the age-old debate.
Is it scone or scone?
I believe scone.
Oh, my Lord.
I'm enjoying myself.
He didn't even chew.
I think I've come back.
It was like a bow of constrictors.
I...
Scone in one.
Thank you.
No way.
Thank you all for joining us.
You're welcome any time to join me for tea
and more etiquette lessons.
I think we could have a show on our hands.
We could have a web series.
