Cynthia Erivo's Dream: Hollywood Handshake on Bake Off
24 Oct
Summary
- Cynthia Erivo, almost an EGOT, desires Paul Hollywood's handshake.
- She humorously describes her potential 'Bake Off' tent chaos.
- Erivo's long nails are a peculiar, personal trademark.
In her recent "Saturday Night Live U.K." monologue, multi-award winner Cynthia Erivo shared a unique aspiration: to receive the coveted "Hollywood handshake" from Paul Hollywood. As a judge on "The Great British Bake Off," Hollywood's approval is a dream for many, and Erivo admitted it's a goal she still chases, despite already holding an Emmy, Grammy, and Tony.
Erivo, a self-proclaimed "Bake Off" enthusiast, humorously confessed her lack of confidence in baking under timed conditions. She vividly imagined the pandemonium that would ensue if she were to compete, highlighting how her distinctive, long nails might hinder her ability to bake effectively.
The actress also addressed her signature long nails, noting they are a personal expression she's had since age 16. She playfully suggested they are surprisingly practical, even eliminating the need for cutlery. Her monologue ended with a comedian's playful interruption, urging her to finish her segment.
