SNL: Daniel Craig crashes Rami Malek & Kenan Thompson’s audition for Prince biopic
An audition for a fictional Jordan Peele biopic about music icon Prince saw a surprise guest on Saturday Night Live. Rami Malek was tasked with hosting SNL on Saturday 16th and did an incredible job, but the star was upstaged by a surprise guest which had everyone laughing in tears.
Chris Redd took on the Get Out director alongside casting directors played by Punkie Johnson and Ego Nwodim. After rounds of auditions, the two actors standing were Keenan Thompson and Rami Malek who, donning their best Prince garb, participated in a “Prince-off.” In the competition, they each performed the iconic guitar lick from Prince’s “Kiss” with different prompts.
Despite their pretty equal performances, Redd’s Jordan Peele and casting directors couldn’t make a call.
Just before they make a decision, No Time To Die star Daniel Craig crashes the scene, dressed as a medieval prince – not the Prince.
“Is it too late to audition for the prince?” an exasperated Craig asks the panel. “It’s a horror movie. It’s about racism right? I’m here, I’m ready. Can I at least have a try?”
