On a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, Hollywood actress Christina Ricci made a lively appearance and shared some intriguing stories with the host. Ricci, known for her edgy roles and captivating performances, discussed her friendship with actor Jeremy Renner and how they became Instagram pals.
The conversation took an interesting turn when Ricci revealed that their first interaction was initiated by Renner himself. The actor had posted something for his birthday, and Ricci left a comment. But things got a bit crazy when Ricci admitted to saying something a little too much, leaving both her and Renner overwhelmed and in a state of “gay coma”.
Moving on to another fascinating anecdote, Ricci shared an interesting memory from her birthday celebration in Mexico City. As a Gemini, Ricci likes to stretch her birthday celebrations throughout the entire week. She had invited her friends to join her in Mexico City, where they had dinners at her favorite restaurants and even watched the movie “The Opposite of Sex,” in which Ricci played an evil villain. Ricci’s enthusiasm about her birthday festivities was palpable during her conversation with Corden.
Corden also seized the opportunity to discuss major milestones in Ricci’s life, such as her recent marriage and the birth of her baby. Ricci humorously mentioned that being parents had them exhausted, but they were enjoying every moment with their little one.
Jeremy Renner also got his fair share of the spotlight, as Corden delved into his past as a struggling writer in Los Angeles. Renner shared some of his odd jobs, including working at a prestigious clothing store called Barney’s. However, he admitted that this job wasn’t ideal for aspiring actors, as it made it difficult to hide the fact that he was out of work. Renner even joked about being the third best designer dress salesman.
But it was Renner’s next job that really caught everyone’s attention. The actor revealed that he became a live-in tutor for wealthy kids, helping them with their essays for college applications. Renner humorously mentioned that these kids paid him with money they “stole” from their parents. The conversation took a hilarious turn as Renner discussed how the initial request to write an essay about black history led to him receiving a significant sum of $500. As his writing skills became apparent, the kids started offering him more money to write essays for higher education institutions like Stanford and N.Y.U. Renner jokingly admitted that he may have just incriminated himself on national television.
The banter between Ricci and Corden didn’t stop there. Ricci shared a funny story about her experience as a babysitter back in her younger days. It turned out that she attempted to prank a girl they were feuding with by egging her house. As the situation escalated, Ricci and the kids found themselves running back to their babysitting location, with the girl’s father chasing them with a baseball bat. To cover up their misadventure, Ricci pretended they were out walking the dog, and when confronted, told the father the kids were innocent and had even seen someone else egging the house.
Finally, the conversation drifted towards the highly talked-about show “Yellowjackets,” in which Ricci is currently starring. She explained that the show is set in two time periods, 1996 and the present day. It revolves around a group of high school soccer player girls who survive a plane crash into the wilderness. The present-day scenes showcase the survivors dealing with the aftermath of the experience and the impact it had on them.
Christina Ricci‘s appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden was filled with laughter, intriguing stories, and insights into her life as an actress. From her friendship with Jeremy Renner to her wild babysitting adventures and her latest role in “Yellowjackets,” Ricci entertained viewers with her vibrant personality and unique experiences. It’s clear that her charisma and talent continue to make waves in the entertainment industry.
