The Crown 's Josh O'Connor and his friends compete to play rock, paper, scissors with celebrities

Josh O'Connor has a fun way to spend the time during awards shows.

On his way into the 73rd annual Emmy Awards, the The Crown actor stopped to chat with Queer Eye's Karamo Brown on the E! red carpet and shared that at awards shows and other events with celebrities in attendance, he and his friends compete to see who can play rock, paper, scissors with the most famous person in the room.

Asked who the most famous person he's ever played with was, O'Connor replied, "I think I did it with Salma Hayek, which is pretty good."

While Hayek is indeed an impressive get, the actor admitted his friend is leading for now (and let's be honest forever) since they managed to play with Beyoncé.
