Annette Bening recently made an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and let me tell you, it was a chat show like no other. Bening’s infectious energy and charm lit up the stage as she sat down for a chat with Corden.
The conversation began with Bening’s recent birthday celebration. As it turns out, the actress is known for throwing legendary parties. Anyone involved in the Kenneth Branagh films can attest to this. But this year, Bening decided to have a low-key celebration with her girlfriends. It was a chance for her to catch up with her closest friends and unwind after being away for a while.
When asked about the best party she has ever attended, Bening recalled a memorable experience from her teenage years. It was a Spanish sailing ship party in San Diego, and she and her friend Kathy were invited. Bening chuckled as she carefully chose her words, hinting that the party was quite eventful, but leaving the details to the imagination.
The conversation then shifted to Bening’s daughters, who are following in her acting footsteps. Esther, one of Bening’s daughters, recently had a cameo in the highly anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Bening emphasized that Esther earned the role through her own talent and hard work, not because of her famous mother.
But it doesn’t stop there. Bening’s other daughter, Clara, collaborated with a talented writer named Ruby to create a film based on their experiences over the past five years. Bening and Clara both star in the film, playing father and daughter. Bening couldn’t help but express her pride and awe at Clara‘s talent, admitting that it was a beautiful and personal project to work on together.
And let’s not forget about Bening’s youngest daughter, Ella, who recently graduated from Juilliard. The whole family attended the graduation, witnessing the incredible talent and passion of young artists from various disciplines.
As the conversation delved deeper, Bening revealed some interesting tidbits about her own journey in the entertainment industry. She dropped out of school at a young age, much to the surprise of her parents, who were both teachers. But Bening knew her calling was in performance, and she wasted no time in pursuing her dreams. Her uncle, actor Dennis Lawson, played a significant role in inspiring her and making acting a possibility in their small Scottish town.
Lastly, Bening talked about her latest film, “Jerry and Marge Go Large,” which is loosely based on true events. She stars alongside the talented Bryan Cranston, and their on-screen chemistry is undeniable. Bening confessed to becoming a huge fan of Cranston’s work while shooting the film, binge-watching “Breaking Bad” during breaks on set. She jokingly admitted that at times, she couldn’t help but see Cranston as his iconic character, Walter White.
Overall, Bening’s appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden was filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into her personal and professional life. From her legendary parties to her daughters’ success and her own journey in the entertainment industry, Bening truly proves why she is the life of the party.
