If you know a bit about history, then you may know the story of Catherine the Great and Peter III is not a happy one. As we see in Hulu's The Great, a dark comedy loosely based on Catherine's rise to power and Peter's demise, the two had a very troubled relationship, to say the least. In the series, Catherine and Peter are constantly at war with one another—whether it's through a coup, murdering the other's lover, or plotting assassination attempts. Thankfully, The Great's stars, Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, aren't nearly as hostile towards each other as their on-screen counterparts. In fact, we'd say they are pretty friendly.
Ahead of season three's release, we put Fanning and Hoult's knowledge of one another to the test in a game we call "How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?" In between questions about each other's first concerts, favorite on-set snacks, and go-to trailer activity, we were treated to quite a few interesting tidbits about the two stars. For instance, Hoult knows how to make an "unbelievable" passionfruit margarita.
