Previous IQs:

Did your wife keep a collection of knicknacks on the mantelpiece about which you would tell stories to your kids every night? - Samuel Clemens, as I learned on a tour of his house in Hartford, Conn. He would go from left to right, working each object into the story, and when he got to the end, it was bedtime for the kids. His wife would put out new things now and then so that he could improvise anew.
Did you play a man who had a (fake) younger brother named Prince Ruprecht? - Yes, Michael Caine in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Did you announce that you had no quarrel with the Vietcong? - Cassius Clay AKA Muhammad Ali.

3 DQs for the movie star

(btw, I remember having a nightmare about the scene you were in. I was in the crowd and Loki told us he could kill everyone on the planet in twenty minutes. Everybody ran for their lives, and I found myself trapped in a tower with an upwardly spiraling staircase. I climbed it until I saw Loki standing across from me on another landing. He smirked and vanished. He took time out from slaughtering millions just to fuck with me. Take that as a testimony to the power of Tom Hiddleston’s acting. I hope it doesn’t mean something else.)
