Rebecca Ferguson's daughter had an interesting object to present at a recent show and tell at her school.

Appearing on The Late Night with Seth Meyers show, the Dune actress, 41, shared that when she was filming her movie Hercules, she took a prop home from the set for her 6-year-old daughter, whom she shares with husband Rory St. Clair Gainer.

“So I did a film with Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson,” Ferguson says. “Yeah, you did! Hercules,” Seth Meyers responds. 

Hercules. Yeah. And there are skulls in the film. So I stole a skull. And I still have it at home, and I gave it to my daughter to take in for show and tell," she continues.

“And they sent it back home and said, ‘Can you send something else?" the proud mom recalls with a laugh.

Meyers expressed his surprise that Ferguson had her 6-year-old daughter take a skull for show in tell, saying, “You gave a skull to a 6-year-old?” 

“Yeah but the jaw…and it opens and it’s amazing," she says.

“Oh so then it is appropriate. I didn’t know it opened," Meyers jokes.

In a March interview with U105 Radio in Ireland shared to X, Ferguson recounted a hilarious story about her daughter.

"So it's Valentine's Day, right? I don't even know if you can show this or whatever," the actress began. "And my daughter is in a shop with my husband. I was told this today."

"She goes up to a card and she goes, 'This is perfect for mummy.' It's a picture of Timothée [Chalamet], who she thought was her dad because it looks like my husband. And it says, 'Will you Wonka my Willy?'"

"But she doesn't get it. She's like, 'Oh it's Willy Wonka! Willy Wonka, my Willy dad! Like, no," Ferguson laughed.
