Free Instagram Influencer Report on Jack Edwards

This instalment of “required reading” is an extra special one… these are Zendaya’s favourite books!!! I will never ever forget this moment!!!! Imagine this, okay. I’m sitting in the corridor waiting to do the interview like a schoolboy outside the principal’s office, when Law Roach comes gliding down the corridor. I’m starstruck, I’m in awe. And, of course, where there’s Law, there’s Zendaya. She practically floats down the corridor behind him, humming to herself, just majestic in every way. I glance in her direction and do that classic, awkward half-smile that is baked into every British person’s DNA. It’s a small gesture, but really a reflex response to seeing anyone we deeply admire. Luckily, she’s fluent in Britishisms — she married one of our people!!! She understands our culture!!! She stops in her tracks, literally HALTS, and goes “oh my god I watch your videos!” I nearly fall off my chair. All I can say is WHAT DO YOU MEAN ZENDAYA??? THERE’S NO WAY. She’s like “no no I’m serious I even follow you on Goodreads!!!” Again, my jaw nearly detaches from its hinges. I can’t believe what I’m hearing. We go into the interview room and she very kindly and graciously brings it up again once the cameras are rolling. This moment meant so so much to me 🥹 Watching it back, I’m still in shock. But also, wow, what great book selections — our overlapping taste isn’t a Venn diagram, it’s just a circle. Lots more clips to come with Zendaya and the rest of the cast of The Odyssey over the next week, but I had to start with this one. Holy moly.

Reuniting with Cillian Murphy and reaching flow state talking about our favourite classic books 📚📚📚 In the new Peaky Blinders movie, Cillian’s character Tommy Shelby is writing a novel, so of course I had to ask him what he’s been reading lately!!! We spoke about our love for John Steinbeck, as well as some of the Russian greats like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, and the more accessible ways to engage with their works before taking on 1000 page tomes. Hope you enjoyyyyy :)
