The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim stars reveal some secrets

In a recent interview for Max, the cast of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim got into some fun banter. At one point, Gaia Wise (who voices Héra in the film) asks Laurence Ubong Williams if he could learn one skill that his character has in the film and what it would be. In response, Williams said that he had ridden a horse before but not in a good way. He said,
"I have ridden a horse before but very badly. Very Badly. Thing bolted as soon as I got on it so I think, I stayed on though. But if I could learn anything it would be ride a horse very elegantly and effectively and at speed. So that would be the thing."
After listening to Williams, Wise said:
"That's a good one."
Williams then asked Wise what her recording session environment is like. The latter revealed that she constantly needs lemon, ginger, and honey tea for her voice.
