At the end of the video, the two challenged Matthew McConaughey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Jamie Foxx to participate in the challenge.

The initiative is part of the #AllInChallenge, which sees celebrities auction or donate a “once-in-a-lifetime fan experience,” and challenge others to do the same. Opportunities to have Justin Bieber fly to your house for a private show.  Watch a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game ringside with Magic Johnson. Play golf with Rob Lowe have collectively raised $4 million so far. Organizers hope to raise $100 million.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is based on David Grann’s bestselling book about the FBI’s investigation into the 1920s Osage murders. It saw the slayings of Native Americans in Oklahoma’s Osage Nation soon after oil deposits were found underneath their land.
