Just look at how he sauntered into his blind date with Willa (that accent!). The guessing process this week was pretty straightforward. Rapper? \u201cSometimes.\u201d Actor? Big pause, but ultimately, \u201cYes.\u201d Model? Had to think about it, but actually, \u201cNo.\u201d Willa initially landed on Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, mixed in the accent component and switched to Central Cee and, in no time, she landed on Riz. They officially greeted each other with a hug (yes, manners!), then dove right in.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Willa learned a lot from the Cosmo reader questions. First, did we know that Fleabag-British is separate from other fonts of British people? Or that Hamlet has been in the works for nearly fifteen years? The more you know! Also, Girls is back in the conversation right now, but Riz actually remembers none of his Emmy-nominated guest spot (and still hasn\u2019t watched past season one). What he did share is that it all happened because of a post on Lena Dunham\u2019s IG\u2014which you, reader, should take as a sign to always shoot your shot. Willa had her own questions about how Riz\u2019s rap career came to be, which I\u2019ll let you uncover on your own.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The rest of the date was filled with advice gems that I\u2019ll personally carry with me forever. Riz\u2019s key to setting boundaries with an attractive friend? No TSound of Metal). I\u2019ll spend some time digging into that. Will update you when you\u2019re back for next week\u2019s episode.
