Sean Hayes made his Broadway debut in Promises, Promises. He has an unforgettable story from one performance that has stayed with him for 15 years. He regurgitated that moment to Graham Norton a few days ago.
On Saturday Nights, people like to make going to a Broadway show a fun night out. They eat and drink with their friends and then go watch the performance. And that is not a wise move because you have to focus on the play or musical.
Well, one Saturday night, Hayes heard a woman projectile vomit in the one of the front rows, Then, he and castmates, who went on with the show, were all like did that happen? It did, and they were happy when the usher, came and took her away.
Like I said, the show went on, and the actors thought they were safe… But then, twenty minutes later, she came back for an encore. That’s right. She threw up for a second and last time in the theater. But the memory lives on in the Tony winner’s head forever.
I just have to say, I admire the audience for not doing the Stand By Me pie-eating contest scene and following her lead. The thought of it made me throw up a little in my mouth. So, I don’t know how they didn’t do it. Especially because they could not clean it up until the play stopped. Imagine the smell. And what if it got on you? The thought of it all. So gross!
And thankfully, Hayes can laugh about it now! As did everyone else on the panel, Because as gross as it was. It is a hilarious story, many years later.
Reese Witherspoon famously played a lawyer in Legally Blonde and its sequel. However, she is not one in real life. But she was so believable in the role that she was once mistaken for being one.
The actress shared a story with Graham Norton about how believable she was. Seven years after the first film came out, the actress was called to jury duty in Beverly Hills, and she was picked. When it came time to choose a foreman, the jurors wanted her to take on that role. Why? They thought she went to law school. As we know, she didn’t.
What was the case? She spent two weeks listening to a woman suing another one because she got bit trying to break up a dog fight.
Witherspoon didn’t say whether they found the dog owner guilty. But she did say everyone knows how to put your handle in the middle of a dogfight.
So, it sounds like even though she did not go to law school, the jurors made the correct choice by choosing her.
Robbie Williams decided to tell his life story in the movie Better Man, and they could not have gotten a better man to play him. Actually, I should say chimpanzee because that is who the Take That singer is in the film.
So you have to wonder why he chose an animal to play himself. He explained why to Graham Norton. “We realized we needed a created difference with the biopic,” he said. “The biopic genre got a bit long, a bit tired. So, we needed to have a unique selling point. And Michael Gracey, the director, came to me and said, ‘Rob, what is your spirit animal?’ And I was trying to find some self-worth for myself that day, as I am every day, and I went, ‘I am a lion!'”
Gracecy shrugged that answer off, so Williams went with the next best choice, a monkey. Then, Gracey told his star that everyone would be human, but you would be a CGI monkey. And the rest is Hollywood history.
If you need a reason to see the film that is out now, he gave us a reason. He said that for the first 45 minutes, he is a cheeky monkey, and the rest of the film is like Trainspotting.
Williams also has a message for any of his old bandmates or people featured in the film. To hear what it is, then click here!
We’ve all seen that photo of a bald Austin Butler with no eyebrows for his character in Dune: Part Two. But did the actor really shave off all of his hair?
Graham Norton wanted to know, so he asked the Elvis star when he was a guest on the show last week.
Butler told the host that because he had to shoot Bike Riders when he wrapped Dune 2, the director of the other film asked him not to do it.
So, he spent three hours every day getting a skull cap put on that went down to his eyelids. And if they didn’t place it properly on his eyes, one eye would stay closed.
When Jodie Foster and Olivia Coleman heard how much time he spent in hair and makeup, they were like, we would totally shave our heads.
Dominic West bought a 300-year-old house in Hoxton, England, for a really good price. And as with most houses built next to a plague pit, where they buried people twenty deep, it had a poltergeist attached to it.
While the actor never experienced the paranormal activity, his friend and Vicar, who stayed there, did.
West knew he had to get rid of it, so he told Graham Norton that he decided to exercise it from his house. Therefore, he did the research, and it was a lot of work. Luckily, he didn’t have to do all of that. The person advising him told him to have a kids’ party because it will cheer up the malevolent spirit.
He took that person’s advice and threw a few parties there. And it shockingly worked.
So much so that West didn’t tell the person who bought the place from him.
Does anyone know the law in London if you can sue that homeowner for not sharing that critical detail?
