Nutcracker and the Four Realms: WATCH funny Jack Whitehall, Omid Djalili scene (EXCLUSIVE)

Jack Whitehall and Omid Djalili star in the funny snippet from the Disney flick, which hits cinemas today.

The pair play bumbling guards who tie themselves in knots when they realise they’ve been blocking the path of princess Clara (Mackenzie Foy) and Captain Philip Hoffman (Jayden Fowora-Knight).

In the new fantasy adventure, the foursome will be seen alongside Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Richard E Grant as Shiver and Dame Helen Mirren as Mother Ginger.

Watch the funny scene above.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms was filmed back in late 2016 at the Pinewood Studios in England.

It follows Foy’s Clara as she tries to unlock a box containing a priceless gift from her mother.

In order to do so, she follows a thread given to her by her godfather (Morgan Freeman) in the hope of finding the key.

This leads her to a parallel world made up of four realms, and she finds herself in the midst of a race to restore harmony.

Discussion following the release of the trailers was dominated by Knightley’s voice as the Sugar Plum Fairy – which is of a higher-pitch than her usual speaking voice.

“The only thing I’ve got to go on is the Sugar Plum Fairy which is sugary and sweet, so maybe the voice needs to go up there and meet that musical motif,” she told Entertainment Weekly.

“She’s got this higher voice, so she’s very sugary and very sweet. That all came from watching the ballet.”

Of her childhood memories of The Nutcracker, she said: “I have that visceral childhood memory. [It’s] mostly the idea of that sense of magic.

“Of all of these sweets and these toys coming to life, which is what every kid wants when you’re playing with toys. You want it to be real.

“The idea of bringing that magical quality to a film is exciting. The opportunity to do something that was so fantastical was something I was very much looking forward to.”

She added: “Honestly, my whole vibe with it was to be as unsubtle and as silly as possible. And as pink and as sugary as possible.”

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is out now.
