Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh and Austin Butler appeared together on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday, and during the interview Kimmel, 56, brought out the collectible popcorn bucket, which has received considerable attention in recent days. The bucket is styled after the enormous fictional sandworm creatures in the Dune movies, based on the 1965 science fiction novel of the same name by author Frank Herbert. In order to access the popcorn, you have to slide your hand through the sandworm's teeth. "I'm good, I'm okay," Zendaya, 27, joked when Kimmel offered for her to reach inside the bucket to get some popcorn. Chalamet, 28, jokingly pretended his arm was being eaten when he reached inside the bucket. "That's not okay," Pugh said in response to seeing the item. "Who made that? That's not okay. That's wrong." Zendaya Says She Helped Timothée Chalamet Furnish His First N.Y.C. Apartment: 'The Vibe Was Very Teenage Boy' "It's really hard to get the popcorn out of this thing — it's not ideal for eating," Kimmel added. Public reaction to the popcorn bucket has involved a significant number of sex-related jokes, which the actors appeared to have some familiarity with during their Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance. "The jokes write themselves," Zendaya said during the interview.
