The Graham Norton Show is known for its entertaining and star-studded episodes, and a recent interview with the cast of Knives Out was no exception. The episode featured Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, and Chris Evans, who all shared their experiences working on the highly acclaimed murder mystery film.
During the interview, the cast discussed various aspects of the movie, including Daniel Craig‘s unique accent for his character, Benoit Blanc. Craig revealed that the lilting southern accent was not originally written in the script, but he insisted on adding it to give his character more depth. Despite struggling with accents, Craig managed to perfect the southern drawl through dedicated practice and memorization.
The conversation then shifted to the immense success of Knives Out, which became a popular choice among audiences. Jamie Lee Curtis credited the film’s appeal to its intriguing plot and well-developed characters. However, it was Chris Evans‘ iconic cable knit sweater that stole the spotlight, with fans obsessing over its appearance. Even Esquire published an article on how to get your hands on the famous sweater.
As the discussion continued, it was revealed that the cast enjoyed playing games together, even off-set. They delved into a popular game called Mafia, where they would try to convince each other of their innocence or guilt. It was a favorite pastime for the cast, and they often played it during breaks from filming.
The chat show then took an unexpected turn as Antonio Banderas and Ethan Hawke joined the conversation. Antonio Banderas shared his experience with fans approaching him about his movies, highlighting how people still mention Muriel’s Wedding, a film he starred in many years ago. Ethan Hawke, on the other hand, recounted a frightening incident on Broadway where a fellow actor suffered a heart attack during a performance. Fortunately, the actor survived after receiving immediate medical attention.
To lighten the mood, Graham Norton shared a hilarious photo of a young Daniel Craig appearing in a school production of Cinderella. In the photo, Craig played one of the ugly stepsisters, showcasing his commitment to his craft even from a young age.
Throughout the entire episode, the audience was captivated by the lively and amusing banter between the talk show host and the star-studded cast. The Graham Norton Show once again proved why it remains one of the most beloved talk shows on television.
