I love when celebrities do The Graham Norton Show because they tell him things they would never ever say on an American talk show.
For example, on Friday the BBC host asked Professor Charles Xavier about borrowing his grandfather’s razor. That is when the actor asked his gramps, who was in the audience, how old he was when he used that razor for the first time. You can tell by his grandad’s face that this story was not going to go well.
Back when McAvoy was a young lad, he started to become a man down there. He was not sure if he wanted that, so he decided to shave. Not his face but around his head. It did not go well. As in he cut himself and got blood all over the bathroom. Being a boy, he did not clean up after himself. Thus when his grandparents saw all that blood, they were worried about their grandson and asked him if he was OK. Therefore, he had to explain what he was doing.
It might have been over 25 years since that incident happened, but his grandparents’ expressions are still the same. Which is what makes this amazing TMI story even more epic.
Just as they were proud of their grandson for all of his accomplishments, he reminds them on international television it was not always that way.
Oh and thankfully, for all, McAvoy has gotten better at shaving. That and he does not use his granddaddy’s razor anymore to do it.
We all have our own little party tricks and Keira Knightley showed hers off on The Graham Norton Show today. She can play Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head using her fingers and her teeth. If you close your eyes, you can actually hear the Burt Bacharach tune. Pretty impressive.
Although, I do not recommend trying it at home or at parties because it hurts. I know I should have started with that line because you already flicked your finger on your teeth and are feeling that weird sensation.
Therefore, from now on, do like Dolly Parton and just plays your nails like a washboard. I promise you there is no pain involved with that. Plus, it sounds really cool when you finally master it.
Before Kurt Russell kicked a$$ as Elvis Pressley in Elvis, he actually kicked the King of Rock’n’Roll in It Happened at the World’s Fair. How cute was the 10-year-old on that 1963 movie?
Russell was on The Graham Norton Show and he told the host what it was like to work on that film. Was he star struck? Listen to his answer below.
Let’s be honest, we have all named our private parts after someone. Some of us, including me, have named them after someone famous. In my case two people!
Anyhoo, Sarah Silverman says that her boyfriend named his and Michael Sheen calls it “The Great Christine Baranski.” Today, when she was on The Graham Norton Show, the BBC host had to ask her about it. Specifically, why she thinks the actor named his little man after the great actress? She said, “Long lasting career?” Then Cher piped in with, “tall and thin?” Why do you think?
Baranski says if she ever meets him, she will have to ask him about it. That is right, he has never met her. If they ever do meet, then it will be even more amazing than that time that Steve Carell met Kelly Clarkson. Seriously, what would Sheen do? If I were him, I would run like the Road Runner out of the joint because there is no way I could possibly face the people I named my privates after. Could you?
BTW the best part of this whole thing is Baranski’s reaction. She is so prim and proper that she does not even know how to talk about it. But then again would anyone?
Channing Tatum is The Graham Norton Show today to talk about Magic Mike Live and he has a very special moment with the BBC host.
When Norton asked Tatum about the sweet tender moment during the show, the actor responded by seductively asking him, “Can I show you?” Well, of course, Norton was like hell yes. And with that, the two men stood up and Tatum asked the producers to play the song. Boyz II Men’s I’ll Make Love to You started playing through the speakers and the two men embraced so that they could slow dance together to it. Norton’s hands were on his partner’s back, so Tatum moved one of them down to his bubble butt. Giving them both a moment that they will never forget. And us a reason to go see the live show ASAP.
Oh and in case you were wondering, Norton says that Tatum smells good. Something I can totally see, I mean smell.
