Michaela Coel knows how to stay busy in lockdown.
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, the writer of I May Destroy You and Chewing Gum revealed she's been spending lockdown dancing in her favourite parks in London. For the self-conscious people among us (I'm one of them), we should clarify what that means exactly.
We're not talking about outdoor dance classes with other people. We're talking Robyn-style dancing on your own in a park like nobody's watching.
"One of the times when I was running, I was going through my favourite park and I saw this guy and he was just there, stationary but doing these huge motions, dancing with these huge earphones on and I thought it was so cool that as I was running by I gave him a thumbs up and I blew him loads of kisses," she explained.
When Coel's brother came to stay with her, she asked him if he wanted to dance in the park. They each wear their own headphones and they go to the park and just start dancing. "Every now and then, even though we're listening to separate music the beat falls in to the same time and then we start doing the same movements." Coel has also gone to do park dancing on her own.
We salute you! Maybe we'll even give it a go.
