Emma Watson And Lin-Manuel Miranda Beatbox, Freestyle About Gender Equality

"That means all day, everyday, equal pay, every way OK."

Emma Watson, we didn't know you had it in you.

In celebration of UN Women’s HeForShe Arts Week, the 25-year-old actress and #HeForShe campaign ambassador interviewed Lin-Manuel Miranda, the brains and face behind "Hamilton" the musical. Miranda, who has been praised for his portrayal of women and diversity in his Tony-award winning musicals, is also a well-known freestyle rapper.

The almost-hour long chat posted on Watson's Facebook page covered everything from the women that influenced him to the personal stories that informed his music.

After it was all over, a thoroughly embarrassed Watson, who turned literally turned into "the colour of a to-mah-to" said, "These are the lengths that I will go to for gender equality."

Their lovefest continued online today with both tweeting their mutual affection for the other:
