Steve Buscemi Helped ‘Wednesday’ Star with School Exams

Steve Buscemi

If you needed another reason to love Steve Buscemi, here it is: he’s not just a scene-stealing actor, he’s apparently a top-tier study coach. Yep, in between filming for “Wednesday” Season 2, Buscemi was helping one of his teen co-stars prep for his school exams. Forget intimidating Hollywood legends; this is a man who will casually quiz you on past papers between takes.

Moosa Mostafa, who plays our favorite nerdy beekeeper Eugene, told BBC News that working with Buscemi was “great” and that he’s “genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.” Honestly, no one’s shocked, but it’s still heartwarming to hear.

Books, Bees, and Buscemi

For Moosa, filming last year came with an extra layer of stress. BBC News explained that the now 17-year-old from Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, was smack in the middle of his GCSE exams while production for “Wednesday” Season 2 was rolling in Dublin.

That’s a lot to handle… memorizing lines one minute, then cramming for history or maths the next. But Buscemi didn’t just stick to his own scenes and call it a day. Moosa revealed that his co-star would “take the time out of his day to come and say hello and give me advice.” And not just generic “you’ll do great” pep talks either; this was specific, practical advice. “Before the exams he was telling me ‘make sure you do those past papers’ and tried to give me revision tests,” Moosa said.

Just picture it: you’re in full “Wednesday” costume, surrounded by creepy props, and Steve Buscemi is there making sure you’re ready for your science paper. That’s next-level co-star support.


A+ in Kindness

Buscemi’s addition to the “Wednesday” cast was already exciting for fans, but this story makes it even better. On top of being a celebrated actor, he clearly takes the time to connect with the people he’s working with; whether they’re veteran performers or teenage stars juggling schoolwork.

Moosa couldn’t say enough about how nice Buscemi was on set, which makes sense. The “Wednesday” cast is known for its off-screen camaraderie, and this just reinforces the “found family” vibe fans have fallen in love with. Behind all the eerie mystery, gothic fashion, and supernatural chaos, there’s a group of people cheering each other on… even when the challenge is a GCSE exam.

While Moosa hasn’t shared his exact results, it’s safe to assume he walked away with more than just a passing grade. Having Steve Buscemi as your unofficial exam coach? That’s the kind of high school story that’s impossible to top.

And if “past papers” were part of his advice, maybe we should all be adding a little Buscemi-approved study time into our own schedules; bees optional.
