It sounds like a very good fever dream—Emma Watson learning to beatbox on the spot while Lin-Manuel Miranda improvises some bars about feminism. But it’s actually very real: In a video for #HeForShe, the two plop down on a couch and get to work.
After a quick tutorial from Miranda, Watson handily drops a beat while Miranda freestyles about gender equality. Also, her face turns a very charming shade of crimson. Somehow, it’s no surprise that Emma Watson is a natural beatboxer—Miranda says it best as he raps, “Holy cow, this is such a meme/ Thank you, this is the beatbox dream team.”
