LONDON -- James Bond, hotdogs, and charm -- these are just three of the many random topics that cropped up in Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant's glorious Reddit AMA.

The pair took to Reddit on Wednesday ahead of the release of their new film, Florence Foster Jenkins.

The whole thing was very, very British.
