In promotion for her role in Thor: Love & Thunder, Tessa Thompson (a.k.a. Valkyrie) proved her hot sauce tolerance (really, strength) when she went on First We Feast’s Hot Ones. For those unfamiliar, the host Sean Evans interviews people and between questions they eat hot wings. Each round the heat of the questions and the hot sauce increases. Referencing other guests and her family’s love for the show, Thompson was very familiar with the program and knew what rookie mistakes to avoid.

However, that didn’t stop her from making a big blunder in the heat of the moment. While Thompson didn’t touch her eyes or anything like that (you can tell she wants to as tears are flowing at one point), she did decide to rub her tongue swiftly across the napkin’s fabric. Even if the napkin was silk or something very soft to the touch, the way she quickly grated it along her tongue essentially looked like it was cutting into her tongue.
