Renate Reinsve made a stunning appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” to discuss her latest film, “The Worst Person in the World.” The film follows the life of a young woman named Julie as she navigates her 20s and early 30s, searching for her purpose and grappling with societal expectations. Renate delivers a complex and captivating performance, making the character both relatable and lovable despite her many mistakes.

What makes Renate’s journey even more remarkable is the fact that she almost quit acting before landing this significant role. Can you believe she was considering a career in carpentry? It may sound strange, but Renate had renovated a house and thoroughly enjoyed the process. She even built a veranda, albeit not perfectly. Her excitement for carpentry was short-lived, as she soon realized that she lacked the necessary skills. A friend of hers, who happens to be a director, visited her and witnessed her struggles firsthand when she attempted to saw a piece of wood. The result? Smoke and a burned side. It was clear that Renate needed to see the numbers on the saw blade! Carpentry’s loss was certainly acting’s gain.

In addition to Renate’s incredible performance, the talk show also had another exciting guest: Olivia Rodrigo. The talented singer-songwriter shared her enthusiasm for her first North American and European tour, which has been completely sold out. To prepare for her upcoming shows, Olivia has been rehearsing her songs while running on a treadmill. Although she’s not sure if it’s the most effective method, she can’t help but feel like Beyoncé while doing it. As for life on the road, Olivia thinks she’ll manage just fine, considering that she often gets tired and sleepy in cars. She’s excited to try the various cuisines in the new places she’ll be visiting during her tour.

But the excitement doesn’t end there. Renate and Olivia are both eagerly looking forward to the upcoming Oscars. It will be Renate’s first time attending the prestigious event, and she couldn’t be more thrilled. And as for the vibe on the red carpet? Well, they’re keeping it cool and badass, which is exactly how it should be.

As the interview wrapped up, Reggie, the show’s announcer, had a fun question for both guests. He asked if they believed the Smurfs, known as “Lestrump” in Europe, could be made out of something other than marshmallows. Renate and Olivia enthusiastically offered alternative suggestions, including soup, vegetables, and even cotton candy. Their lighthearted and creative responses made for an entertaining end to their appearances on the show.

It was undoubtedly a memorable episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden” thanks to the lively discussions with Renate Reinsve and Olivia Rodrigo. Renate’s journey from aspiring carpenter to rising star in the film industry is inspiring, and Olivia’s anticipation for her sold-out tour showcases her excitement and talent. Keep an eye out for these two incredible women as they continue to captivate audiences with their fantastic performances.
