The stars of 'The Rings of Power’—Charlie Vickers, Ismael Cruz Córdova & Markella Kavenagh—step away from Middle-earth and into the hot seat for "Where Is The Lie?" As the actors take turns interrogating each other, Markella performs a hauntingly beautiful rendition of a song from high school where the only lyric is “meow” and Charlie explains why we should believe he was a deer in a past life. From Ismael directing his first feature next year—without casting Charlie or Markella—to Markella receiving Keith Urban’s guitar on stage, watch as they try to manifest even their lies into reality.

00:00This might ruin you forever, so think about it.
00:02You can say no.
00:03Stop!
00:07Sorry.
00:09Meow!
00:15You each will be handed an envelope with three statements.
00:19Your co-stars will have 60 seconds to interrogate you
00:22and decide which statement is a lie.
00:30I was a beef jerky salesman for two years.
00:38I used to be a member of Tame Impala before they got famous.
00:42Okay.
00:43Okay.
00:44And I remember...
00:47Yes?
00:48I remember being a deer in my past life.
00:52The interrogation starts now.
00:54You have 60 seconds.
00:55Alright, so tell me about like a song that you did with Tame Impala.
00:59We didn't really have any famous songs and we were just in like a school band.
01:02I understand, but you had songs.
01:04Yeah, we played like jazz songs, jazz standards.
01:07I immediately feel so aggressive.
01:08I know.
01:09I'm like, okay, well, what songs?
01:10Yeah.
01:11We didn't write any famous songs, just jazz standards.
01:13Take the A train.
01:17How did it manifest that, like, that you were a deer in your past life?
01:20Yeah.
01:21I just remember it.
01:23Give me a memory.
01:24I was...
01:25I mean...
01:27Yeah.
01:29There was some rocks and some grass, like sweeping, like quite tall grass and other deer.
01:35Could you see yourself?
01:36Could you see yourself?
01:37There were no mirrors, but like, I feel like...
01:39So you're probably a hunter.
01:41Probably a hunter.
01:42Like you're hunting a deer.
01:43Can you see your little hooves?
01:44Yeah, I could look down and I was like, oh, I'm clearly a deer.
01:47Got it, got it.
01:48We got enough details.
01:50What was the name of the beef jerky?
01:51It was called the Curator's Beef Jerky.
01:54That's true.
01:55I used to sell it at like football matches.
01:58Um...
02:03Do you want to say?
02:04Do you...
02:05Do we have the same...
02:06Come on, tell me what you're going to say.
02:09Tame Impala.
02:11That's the lie.
02:17Correct.
02:19Why didn't you buy that?
02:20Um, it's ridiculous.
02:22I would have thought the whole, like, past life thing might have been a red herring.
02:25That actually was a red herring.
02:26For a second I was like...
02:27For me it kind of fit.
02:28Because we do, like, all these things in drama school.
02:31And also you said you remembered yourself as a deer.
02:33I didn't want to take the piss out of that.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Normally I'm not respected like that when I talk about my past life.
02:45Quick.
02:46Oh, Jesus.
02:48I'm already apprehensive.
02:49Okay.
02:51I have cycled in six out of the seven continents.
02:57I'm directing my first feature next year.
03:02After swimming for just four months,
03:05I became subnational champion of my age in the 100 meter backstroke.
03:11Can you please repeat the first one?
03:13I have cycled in six out of seven continents.
03:16Which haven't you cycled in?
03:17Antarctica.
03:18Do you mean just around the continent?
03:20Or was it for a race?
03:22I've done long, long, like, tracks.
03:27Nice.
03:28But it's, like, long distances.
03:29Like, meaningful distances.
03:31Interesting.
03:32Give us the next one.
03:33I will be directing my first feature next year.
03:35What's it called?
03:40Well, actually, I don't want to say the name.
03:43I don't want to say the name because it gives you, like, the plot, essentially.
03:45Is this one you've been working on for a while?
03:48About ten.
03:49And you've cast it?
03:50Yes.
03:51The first four roles I have.
03:52It's people that, like, along the way were super interested in the project.
03:56We kept in touch.
03:57And you didn't think of us or anything?
04:00Absolutely not.
04:01No, I didn't.
04:02What was the third one?
04:03After swimming for just four months, I became subnational champion of my age.
04:07That's true.
04:08That's true.
04:09I did swimming lessons with him.
04:10No, it's true.
04:11You're a really good swimmer.
04:12And you're really fast.
04:18I think the first one is, like, a technicality.
04:21Yeah, so do I.
04:22Yeah, yeah.
04:23I think the first one's the lie.
04:24I think the first one's a lie.
04:26Yes.
04:30No, that's true.
04:32Is it the directing?
04:34Is it the film next year?
04:35Yeah.
04:36Shit!
04:37Because I really wanted it to be true.
04:38So do I.
04:39We're manifesting.
04:40I have cycled in six out of seven continents.
04:42True, because you went to...
04:43Yeah, I just cycled in Singapore.
04:56I had to sing a song in high school where the only word was meow, and I was meowed out
05:07for the rest of high school.
05:09Wait, hang on.
05:10Okay, sorry.
05:11Keith Urban brought me on stage at a concert and gave me his guitar.
05:16I've come head to head with a snake before.
05:19You said you got meowed out in high school?
05:22Meowed at.
05:23Oh!
05:24Got meowed you out of the school.
05:26Got out of the school.
05:27Can you sing the song?
05:28Okay, I think...
05:29This might ruin you forever, so think about it.
05:31You can say no.
05:34I can do it.
05:35Meow.
05:37Meow.
05:40It's actually a beautiful song.
05:41It is beautiful.
05:42This is pretty convincing if this is a lie.
05:44I mean, she's great.
05:45I have a few dreams, kids.
05:46Head to head, what does that mean?
05:48As in I came up against a snake on the farm that my dad grew up in.
05:53Okay, the Keith Urban.
05:55Yeah.
05:56So what?
05:57So I was 14 and my mum loves Keith Urban and I also love some of his songs.
06:02We were at the Rod Laverina.
06:04Yeah, okay.
06:05And he saw me and then he just like beckoned me and I thought he was talking to someone else.
06:09And then he came up to the stage and he was mid-song and he gave me a hard game of guitar.
06:13And then after I like mimed guitar for a bit, I went to give it back to the security guard
06:17and he was like, no, no, it's yours.
06:23Holy shit.
06:26What do you think?
06:27My dad did grow up on a farm.
06:28I'll take that one.
06:29Yeah, okay.
06:30I want that one to be the lie.
06:31Which one?
06:32The snake.
06:39Yeah.
06:40So you have Keith Urban's guitar.
06:42I still have it.
06:43But the cooler thing was that I knew Nicole Kidman was there that night and I was just
06:47like, I can't believe Nicole Kidman's here.
06:50You're going to get your big break tonight.
06:52Thank you for watching us on Elle and you can watch The Rings of Power on Prime Video.
