This is so bizarre. I'm writing a History essay and it's all about Britain in the 1930s and the economic crisis and everything, so Skandar's great great uncle, the economist John Maynard Keynes, is involved. It was weirding me out the whole time I was taking my notes because they kept just referring to him as Keynes, and I kept being like "Skandar!!" And then this guy, Sir Oswald Mosley, got involved, and I know it's missing an 'e' and all, but...srsly?
He ended up being a fascist so I was a bit disappointed, but now in my essay I'm writing about them both and how initially they had similar ideas, and it's like...Both Mosley and Keynes recommended increasing government spending on public works in order to create more jobs... And ALL I CAN IMAGINE is Will and Skandar trying to like, advise the government on their unemployment issues.
I can also totally see Skandar studying this on set or something and boasting about how great Maynard Keynes was, and making fun of Will because the guy who has his surname supported Hitler.
I don't think I got enough sleep last night.
