"I'm proper built for this, but the building is shaking."

Daniel Kaluuya begins Hot Ones as though he's doing nothing more strenuous than taking a gentle stroll for the park — but as the chicken wings get hotter towards the end, the cracks start to show.

Over the course of the interview, Kaluuya answers questions about NOPE, Stormzy, and his ability to cry so perfectly on camera — but the last five minutes is mainly just about watching him sweat through those devilish wings.
