Tessa Thompson recently shared a hilarious story about the time she got too high to function while trying to record music. During an interview on *The Graham Norton Show*, the actress opened up about immersing herself in the musician lifestyle while working on songs for the *Creed II* soundtrack—a process that included a particularly memorable studio smoke session gone wrong.

“I grew up around musicians a lot, and I’ve sort of come from a musical family,” Thompson, known for her roles in *Creed* and *Thor: Love and Thunder*, explained. “But I’m not a trained musician at all. When we were making music, I was like, ‘I really want to immerse myself in the musician’s life,’ so [composer] Ludwig Göransson and I locked ourselves in a studio for two weeks to make this original music.”

The creative process was full of fun until some of the musicians decided to light up, and Thompson felt she had to join in. “Now I’m a musician,” she joked. However, what was supposed to be a bonding moment quickly turned into total paralysis.

“It was like the stoniest I’ve ever been in my entire life,” Thompson recalled with a laugh. “I remember just being there on the couch and them being like, ‘OK, let’s lay down some vocals,’ and me being like, ‘I don’t know how to move.’”

The experience spiraled into a mix of self-doubt and panic before she managed to pull herself together. “Everyone was mad, I was mad at myself,” she said. “I had to go outside and be like, ‘OK, get back in there, you can do it.’ And then I did, and it was fine. But I was like, ‘OK, I’m never going to smoke pot again when I have to perform.’”
