During a recent episode of the talk show “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” actor Henry Lloyd-Hughes made quite the revelation. Not only did he discuss his role in the new show “Ragdoll,” but he also shared a surprising real-life experience involving a citizen’s arrest.
Lloyd-Hughes excitedly talked about his new show “Ragdoll,” a thrilling murder mystery combined with elements of comedy. He plays a detective tasked with solving a series of bizarre killings, including one in which multiple bodies are stitched together to form a ragdoll. To complicate matters, his own name appears on a killer’s hit list. The actor praised the show’s director, Toby MacDonald, and expressed his enthusiasm for this unique and brilliantly executed project.
However, the conversation took a thrilling turn when Lloyd-Hughes shared his recent run-in with crime. He humbly recounted how he single-handedly made a citizen’s arrest a couple of days ago while at King’s Cross Station. In a classic case of being in the right place at the right time, he witnessed a woman having her iPhone stolen.
Initially, Lloyd-Hughes thought it was a playful interaction between friends due to its apparent light-heartedness. However, upon discovering that the two individuals were complete strangers, he sprang into action. He grabbed the thief and informed the victim about her stolen phone. The situation quickly escalated when the thief realized he had been caught, and a moment of uncertainty arose. Suddenly, a chorus of voices surrounding him shouted for the police, revealing that Lloyd-Hughes had inadvertently interrupted an undercover drug sting operation.
Although he unintentionally disrupted the operation, the actor can still take pride in his citizen’s arrest. While chatting with James Corden, he jokingly referred to it as a display of vigilante justice. Lloyd-Hughes shared that he is actually from Scotland, and his impromptu intervention saved one person’s phone from being stolen, although it did come at the cost of ruining a drug sting operation.
Switching gears, the conversation on the talk show delved into a completely different topic. Corden surprised Lloyd-Hughes with a gift from him and his wife, which left the actor immensely pleased. It turned out to be a special delivery from Lloyd-Hughes’ new company, Goodles. The company specializes in re-engineering noodles to create a mac and cheese alternative that is not only delicious but also healthier.
The inspiration behind Goodles came from Lloyd-Hughes’ childhood memories of receiving constant gifts of mac and cheese from his American relatives. Wanting to find a better option that was still reminiscent of his favorite childhood dish, he co-founded Goodles to bring a nutritious and high-protein alternative to the market. The response to Goodles has been incredible, with people eagerly embracing this healthier take on a beloved classic.
As the interview came to a close, Corden handed over the reins to his band leader, Reggie Watts, who posed a question to both Lloyd-Hughes and another guest on the show. The question was set in a fictional scene, asking what they would do in a specific eerie situation involving a ticking clock, an old hotel, and creaking floorboards. Both guests offered clever and amusing responses, showcasing their quick wit and charm.
It was another captivating episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” filled with intriguing insights, thrilling stories, and delightful banter. With Lloyd-Hughes’ engaging tales about “Ragdoll” and his unexpected citizen’s arrest, viewers were surely entertained throughout the show. As always, Corden’s ability to engage his guests in fun and unexpected conversations made for an entertaining night of television.
