Daniel Kaluuya rattled his way through the Hot Ones challenge - but the heat caught up with him in the end. Watch him cry a bit and talk about going delirious here:
The ingenious interview format sees celebrities chat about their lives and careers over a table of chicken wings, which they 'enjoy' with an increasingly spicy selection of hot sauces.

The majority of guests become totally overwhelmed by the heat, unable to talk or even think straight as their mouths steadily set on fire, but Black Panther actor Kaluuya smashed his way through with impressive ease.
However, with Hot Ones, it's invariably the case that you can run, but you can't hide, and things headed south for the 33-year-old towards the end.
Having managed to run the entire gauntlet, chowing down on 10 increasingly hot wings, he complacently declared that he was 'built for this'.
But within seconds, his eyebrows shot to the top of his head as the searing heat set in.

"Where is the water?!" he then shrieked, before jolting back in his seat.
Host Sean Evans proceeded to ask him about his ability to cry on camera at the opportune moment, as Kaluuya wiped tears from his cheeks.
"If you need tears, don't use menthol, use psycho hot sauce," he concluded.

The Oscar-winner then offered up some rather left-field wisdom for viewers at home.
He said: "Take care of yourself, man. Cream your ankles, like the back of your ankles - cream that.
"Attend to yourself, cream your feet. It's important. You know what I'm trying to say? You've got to do certain things. Do it in the dark, do it in private.
"Just do the right thing and do it in private, that's what man's saying... Hey, this is delirious, this thing made me delirious.

"I don't even care, I don't care - but I finished it, I completed it."
Fair play, you're probably allowed to talk utter nonsense after necking 10 of those silly hot wings.
Meanwhile, in an unimpaired interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Get Out star provided an update on his Barney live-action remake.
The actor's reimagining of the purple dinosaur was one of the first projects announced by his newly formed production company, 59%, and he confirmed that the project is still in early development, with the script being reworked.

"My last number of films have been so aligned to kind of what I stand for as a man," he said.
"But there are a whole lot of things that I do as a man. I love kids' films. How did everyone get into films? Watching kids' films.
"I don't want to restrict myself to the limitations of what I'm perceived as."
