Sir Patrick Stewart was on The Graham Norton Show today and he might have just told one of the best stories on a talk show ever.
The BBC host asked the actor about a disagreement he had with his wife about a certain part of himself. One night, when his wife and him were talking, he said to her, “…being circumcised and all.” She told him, “You’re not circumcised.” Wait, who would know better the man who is missing part of his penis his whole life or the woman who has seen it up close?
You see, let’s backtrack. When the Sir was a kid it was fashionable to look Jewish down there, so his mother told him that he was. Was she lying to him or his wife?
There was only one person who could answer this very important question and that is his doctor. The day after the Stewarts had this argument, Captain Picard got his annual physical. As the doctor was done there, he asked if he was indeed cut or not. The doctor gave him some blunt talk and said, “Not!” Stewart did not believe him and asked him to check again. This time the doctor told him, “Hey, I am Jewish. I know the difference.”
Hopefully, now so does Stewart. Can you imagine going through your whole life thinking you were circumcised and you were not. Good thing his wife knew the difference because now we have this wonderful story to remember him by. I know it is how I will remember the actor forever. So much so, it should be on his tombstone, “Here lies a man, who was circumcised.” After a few years, no one will be the wiser.
Now, back to the interview, Hugh Jackman’s reaction to the uncut tale was hysterical. I would’ve been peeing in my pants from laughter if I was there. How can you not watch this and not be in hysterics? Bloody brillant!
