Watch: Gugu Mbatha-Raw Takes the E!Q in 42

The stars need to start getting more sleep, because there are a lot of celebrities craving naps these days.

Or so they say.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw was all smiles while taking the E!Q in 42, the Beyond the Lights star becoming the latest entertainer to crack up when asked one particular question.

Then again, maybe the British actress is tired—she's got so much on her plate after all!

Just for starters, her latest movie, the Civil War epic Free State of Jones, opened in theaters last week; she shot an improvised episode of the Netflix series Easy; and she recently wrapped Disney's hotly anticipated, live-and-animated Beauty and the Beast, in which she plays enchanted feather duster Plumette.

The musical has "everything you'll expect and more," Mbatha-Raw told E! News' Marc Malkin earlier this month, fulfilling of our our hopes that that's exactly what it will be like when it finally comes out in 2017. "It's got all the magic and the romance of the original but it's also very fun."

And though she voices one of the animated characters, we're betting that sparkling personality—also on full display while answering 42 seconds' worth of our rapid-fire questions—shines through.

Next up for Mbatha-Raw, a complete 180 in tone from Beauty and the Beast: the space thriller God Particle and then the psychological drama An Untamed State, based on the Roxane Gay novel about a woman who's kidnapped in Haiti and endures 13 harrowing days in captivity.

No wonder she might very well need a nap.
