The Jonathan Ross Show recently had an episode that left the audience in stitches as Steve Carell and Sir David Attenborough shared stories about their experiences with hip replacements. The talk show, known for its entertaining and lively atmosphere, provided the perfect platform for these two celebrities to engage in this hilarious conversation.
During the show, Carell revealed that he recently starred in a film titled “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” When asked about his performance as a father in the film, Carell mentioned that he incorporated elements of his own experiences as a parent. He also shared that his children, who are 10 and 13 years old, had the opportunity to watch the film and loved it.
But the conversation took a humorous turn when the topic shifted towards the animals Carell has worked with in his various movies. Carell explained that he had an interesting encounter with a baboon while filming the movie “Evan Almighty.” The baboon was trained to share a drink with Carell in a specific scene, but Carell decided to improvise and interact with the baboon. However, the baboon’s reaction was both unexpected and menacing, leaving Carell quite frightened.
Attenborough, known for his extensive work with animals, chimed in with his own experiences. The renowned nature documentarian shared that he has worked with kangaroos and their unique ability to use their tail as a powerful muscle. This led to an amusing conversation about kangaroos and their quirks, showcasing Attenborough’s vast knowledge and the comedic dynamics between the two celebrities.
The conversation then took a surprising turn as Carell opened up about his own hip replacement surgery. He described how he postponed the surgery until the doctor advised him to do it when he started limping. Carell shared his experience of being shaved by his wife before the surgery, which was unexpected to him. He also humorously recounted the moment when he had to choose between a titanium or ceramic hip, ultimately opting for the squeaky ceramic one. Carell’s storytelling had the audience in stitches, amplifying the entertainment factor.
Attenborough, having undergone knee replacements himself, joined in on the conversation. He admitted that the knee replacement surgery was a more challenging procedure, causing more agony. The banter between Carell and Attenborough about their surgeries showcased their camaraderie and added another layer of humor to the conversation.
The conversation then shifted to Carell’s famous character, Brick, from the “Anchorman” movies. Attenborough, who confessed to not watching much modern TV or reading fiction, admitted that he hadn’t seen these films either. Carell playfully recommended that Attenborough watch “Anchorman” and report back with his opinion, promising to send him a copy.
