Actor Josh Gad, who’s playing LeFou in Beauty and the Beast, has been systematically messing with Murder on the Orient Express co-star Ridley to get secrets about the upcoming Star Wars film. Of course, she’s bound by honour (and non-disclosure agreements) to not reveal anything the Disney overlords don’t want her to. But Gad wasn’t going to let that stop him from trying.

This has been a battle of attrition. #daisyridley has been a force to be reckoned with. In many ways she is the Vader to my Luke or the Taylor to my Katy. But like any good opponent, I have tried to outmaneuver her at every turn. This will be her final judgement. May the force be with her, because kids, she is going to need it. All I ask is that you don’t ruin the surprise for others. #TheLastJedi #starwars #broughtsomefriendsalongfortheride @disney @starwars @penelopecruzoficial @prattprattpratt @brycedhoward @colintrevorrow @leslieodomjr @lucyboynton1 @brycedhoward @derek.connolly #tombateman @jjabramsofficial

For his final ambush video, he enlisted the help of several celebrities, including Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Chris Pratt, Penelope Cruz from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams himself. Some of the questions seemed a little on-the-nose, like when Jurassic World actress Bryce Dallas Howard asked if Rey’s heels “get stuck in the grates of the Millennium Falcon”. We get it, Bryce, people criticised your character’s shoe choices. Also, Rey doesn’t wear heels.

It’s unclear whether Ridley was in on the joke (I personally don’t think she is). Nonetheless, she didn’t look thrilled, and I don’t really blame her. I too am getting a little tired of people constantly asking her to spoil secrets about the upcoming film. I’ve tried to avoid them, including Gad’s previous queries, but I couldn’t help but share this one, because it was just too deliciously evil. The Last Jedi comes out December 14, and I’m sure we’ll learn more in the coming months, so let’s try and not keep ambushing celebrities for information… at least for a little while.
