Billie Eilish has pranked called a number of her fellow celebrity friends, including the likes of Margot Robbie and Tyler, The Creator “ see how the calls played out below.
For a video segment with ELLE Magazine, the singer-songwriter was tasked with calling several famous friends in her mobile phone’s contact list to play out a series of awkward and funny scenarios.
For the first call, Eilish was told to call someone to ask if they could shoot a music video at their home at the last minute. For that, she called Barbie star Margot Robbie, who eagerly answered and first began praising the singer for her latest album ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’. Later, Eilish explained that she was filming a music video the next day but that the location for the shoot fell through, and she asked if she could film at Robbie’s house instead.
Robbie replied, saying that while she would normally say yes, she couldn’t this time around as she was packing up her house, presumably for a move.
Later, she called Tyler, The Creator, asking if she could rush over to his house for a quick shower and a change of clothes after crapping in her pants while on a date. After laughing at Eilish and joking about her accident, Tyler obliged before Eilish revealed that it was all a prank.
Finally, she called actress Dakota Johnson, claiming that she had been cast in a movie as a diaper-wearing baby. Johnson sounded puzzled by the casting, and asked if Eilish needed advice on whether to take the role. Eilish said she’d already accepted, and wanted help finding a dialect coach. Eilish soon broke, and Johnson expressed her relief.
In a four-star review of Eilish’s latest album for NME, Thomas Smith wrote: ˜Hit Me Hard And Soft remains distinctly unique, a portrait of a singular talent entering young adulthood, exploring her queerness and experiencing the emotional thrill and (sometimes) catastrophe of chasing passion or falling in love. In trying to write an album for herself, she s made one that will resonate harder than anything she s done before.
Meanwhile, Eilish recently became the third artist to reach 100million monthly Spotify listeners, and the youngest yet to reach the milestone. The singer finished behind Taylor Swift “ who has 102million monthly Spotify listeners “ and The Weeknd “ who tops the list with 107million monthly listeners on the music streaming platform.
