William Jackson Harper, known for his role as Chidi Anagonye in the hit TV show “The Good Place,” is making waves once again. This time, he appeared on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” to discuss his latest project, “Love Life.” The talk show host took a moment to congratulate Harper on his Critics Choice Award nomination for his outstanding performance in the show.
For those who haven’t caught up with “Love Life” yet, Harper plays the character of Marcus Watkins, an editor in his early to mid-thirties. Marcus’s life takes an unexpected turn when he has an encounter that throws his carefully planned future into chaos. Harper describes his character’s journey as a ten-episode rollercoaster ride filled with twists and turns.
Surprisingly, playing the romantic lead in “Love Life” was not something that Harper had envisioned for himself. He always saw himself as the guy in the bathrobe or the best friend character. Being cast as a romantic lead was a wild and unexpected experience for the talented actor.
James Corden himself was quick to praise Harper, calling him “absolutely brilliant.” It’s clear that Harper’s performance has captivated both critics and audiences alike. “Love Life” has multiple love interests for his character, adding an extra layer of complexity and intrigue to the show.
The conversation then turned to Lily Collins, who was also a guest on the show. Corden couldn’t help but ask Collins about a throwback photo of her with her father, Phil Collins, and Princess Diana. The photo captures a moment at a Princess Trust event, where young Lily can be seen handing flowers to the princess. However, her mischievous side came out as she attempted to pull the flowers back after presenting them.
Collins also shared another entertaining anecdote from her childhood. Apparently, she had a habit of throwing toys at Prince Charles, which led to some awkward moments and shocked onlookers. Growing up in England, with her father actively involved in the Prince’s Trust, meant that she had ample opportunities to interact with the royal family.
Before wrapping up the segment, Reggie Watts, the show’s bandleader, joined in by posing a lighthearted question to both guests. He asked them to imagine being stranded in a forest, late at night, with no fire. The question elicited laughter and playful banter, ultimately concluding that without fire, surviving in such a situation would be quite challenging.
As the episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden” came to an end, audiences were left with a sense of excitement for William Jackson Harper‘s upcoming projects and a newfound appreciation for Lily Collins‘ mischievous nature. It’s clear that these two talented actors have much more in store for us in the entertainment world. Whether it’s Harper’s captivating performance in “Love Life” or Collins’ delightful anecdotes, they continue to make waves in the industry.
