Back in August, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while filming a stunt for Mission: Impossible: Fallout and has not spoken publicly about it since. Today on The Graham Norton Show, not only did he described what happened, he also showed us from 3 different angles and a closeup on his leg as it broke. All I have to say is ouch.
That and what a professional he was to finish the scene even though he broke his ankle. How many other people would do that? I would be crying and cursing out the crew until they carried me away in the stretcher and gave me millions of dollars to stop crying.
Cruise also gave an update on his ankle and says it is still broken. When you think about it, most broken bones heal in about 6 weeks, he is going on 6 months. He really had to do a number on it, and yet he is back filming and doing his own stunts. Just hopefully none that require him to smash into a building again. Which I am pretty sure the producers will not allow.
If you thought that the Fifty Shades movies are the most embarrassing thing that Jamie Dorman has ever done, then you would be wrong. Today, he told Graham Norton a story that is even more embarrassing than starring in those films.
Back when he was just 15 years old, he was starring in a play and playing rugby at the same time. One night, he did a play where he had to wear fake beard and then he had a party to go afterwards with his rugby mates. Since he was underdeveloped at the time, he decided to cut up the beard for his face and glue it on his other head. This way if he got any action, she would be impressed. Even though the black carpet would not match the blonde drapes.
Before he went to the party, he checked out his masterpiece and he was impressed with his artwork. Therefore, he went the party, met a girl, made out with her and tried to get her to go to third base on him. Do they play the bases over in The UK? Anyways, luckily for him, he struck out. Why? He said that when he got home, it looked awful and that would have been really humiliating.
And yet, this story is still more embarrassing than playing Christian Grey. Maybe that is why he was the only actor who was brave enough to take on the part. I mean, what can be worse than self gluing hair onto your part? Nothing.
Oh and to make the story even more epic. When he got home and went to remove the fake hair, he also removed whatever real hair he did have down there. So once again, he was bald like a baby. Poor Jamie.
Graham Norton was interviewing Steve Carell, Chris O’Dowd & Kristen Wiig when they suddenly had a fly guest join them. As in a real fly. The other guests tried to capture it, to no avail. In fact, Carell gave us some tips on how to kill one. Something all of us will try the next time we see one of the annoying flying bugs.
Anyways, everyone thought the bugger got away, but it did not. All of sudden, O’Dowd made an awkward yelp as he spit something into his hand. What was it? Our little friend who got too close to the action. Which is why we say, “Oh to be a fly on the wall,” and not to be a fly in a water glass. It is certain death.
Therefore, let’s have a moment of silence for our winged friend who was taken from us way too soon. Bye, bye, little guy.
Alfonso Ribeiro has said that there will not be a Fresh Prince of Bel Air reunion since James Avery is no longer with us, and Will Smith also blamed Uncle Phil for why he won’t do it.
When Graham Norton asked cousin Will if we are going to see a revival of the ’90s sitcom, he said, “I’d have to be Uncle Phil in that one.” Then he explained why, “C’mon Aunt Viv, I am 50. I cannot go out on my own?”
Why not? It could work. He moves back in with his aunt and cousin, and this time he is raising a rambunctious son. Will still acts like a kid, so she has to punish her nephew and grand nephew all the time. I would watch! Plus, Carlton can have a nerdy kid just like him, who doesn’t get along with his cousin. Or better yet, Carlton has the punky kid and Will has the geek. Now, that would be a huge hit! Suck it Fuller House.
There was one scene from all the Star Wars movies that George Lucas and Irvin Kershner made Mark Hamill keep from everyone including his co-stars, and it was the infamous moment when Darth Vader reveals he is Luke Skywalker’s father.
The three men knew if it somehow got out, it would be Hamill that leaked it. So mum was the word for over a year and a half. He says he made sure not to tell Carrie Fisher because she could not keep a secret. In fact, he told Graham Norton that Harrison Ford and him would purposelessly tell her stuff to see how long it would take for everyone know. Talking about Han Solo, what was his reaction when he heard James Earl Jones say, “I am your father,” at the premiere screening? Hamill did a spot on Ford and said he leaned over to whisper in his ear, “Hey kid, you didn’t f*cking tell me that?” And with that Hamill was finally free to talk about that secret to anyone who asked.
BTW how much do you just love Hamill after this interview? He is just gosh darn lovable like an Ewok, BB-8 or a Porg.
