From tortured poets to dead poets.
“Dead Poets Society” actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles made a surprise appearance in the just-released music video for Taylor Swift and Post Malone’s song, “Fortnight.”
“I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets),” Swift wrote on Twitter Friday about the cheeky collaboration.
Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” has drawn comparisons to the 1989 film due to their similar titles and themes.
In the video, Hawke and Charles — along with Malone — play doctors who perform shock therapy on Swift.
The Grammy winner, 34, first teased the music video with Malone, 28, in series of clips from the video shared on Instagram Thursday.

“At this hearing, I stand before my fellow members of The Tortured Poets Department with a summary of my findings. Album tonight. Fortnight music video tomorrow at 8pm et,” she captioned the montage.
In the black-and-white clip, Swift appeared dressed in a statement black leather dress while sitting at a typewriter and writing phrases like, “I love you” and “Love you.”
The clip then cut to Malone, who was also sitting at a typewriter. He then hugged the “Lover” singer on a dock overlooking the water with his tattoos blurred out.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Swift stunned in a white strapless dress –– similar to her 2024 Grammys look –– while throwing a chair into a glass window.
Just hours before sharing the teaser, the songstress also announced that “Fortnight” would be the first single from her chart-topping album.
