Watch Priyanka Chopra Bob for Apples With Jimmy Fallon
Priyanka Chopra is the epitome of elegance. The Quantico star was on everyone’s Emmys best-dressed list for donning a flowing red Jason Wu gown that had her likened to the dancing lady Emoji. Even Tom Hiddleston twirled her around on stage, which had people wondering whether the duo would be the next portmanteau on everyone’s lips.
But as it turns out, the 34-year-old actress wins not only on the style front; watch her slay on Jimmy Fallon in her first-ever attempt at bobbing for apples—a long-held autumnal tradition.
And in case you’re wondering why people even bob for apples, here’s a little primer: Apparently it used to be a courting tradition in Britain, where women would bob for apples on which their desired suitor’s name was written. If you got the apple in one try, you were destined for love and happiness. Three tries and um, you might as well not even bother going on the first date. Another way it was used was kind of like catching a bouquet: the woman who picked up an apple first would be the first to marry.
Now we’re left to wonder whose names were on those five apples Priyanka fished out of the barrel.
Happy fall, everyone!
