During a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, actress Emma Roberts made an appearance and shared an interesting story about her friendship with iconic actress Diane Keaton. The two actresses go way back, having first met on the set of Dustin Lance Black’s film Virginia over a decade ago.
Roberts reminisced about fond memories of Keaton being super cool and supportive during her early days in the industry, even when Roberts was just starting out and feeling a little green. The actress sent Corden a photo of herself and Keaton from New Year’s Eve in 2010, where they were seen enjoying a drink together. The picture looks so surreal that it could easily be mistaken for a photoshopped image.
The conversation then shifted to Paul, who recently won a Golden Globe for his brilliant performance in Blackbird. Instead of attending a typical glitzy Hollywood party to celebrate, Paul opted for something completely different. He revealed that he attended All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and even got to take part in an in-ring segment, where he had a guitar smashed over his head.
Paul explained that he knew there would be a bit involving some promotional activities and had even thought about using his Golden Globe trophy as a weapon for the show. However, he didn’t anticipate actually getting in the ring and experiencing the full force of the guitar blow.
They joked about the size of the wrestler and the intense moment captured in the photo. Paul admitted that it was an unexpected experience, but he enjoyed every minute of it. It’s definitely a unique way to celebrate a Golden Globe win.
Moving on to Emma, Corden highlighted the whirlwind of activities happening in her household. Not only does she have a two-year-old son, but she also recently adopted a puppy, and her mother has been living with her since the beginning of the pandemic. Emma shared the ups and downs of having her mother as a live-in babysitter, emphasizing the lack of adherence to rules when it comes to her son’s bedtime.
Emma’s mom loves to keep her son entertained, even if it means staying out past his bedtime. Emma admitted that some days she appreciates having her mom around, but other days she just wishes for a little more peace and quiet.
As the conversation continued, Corden turned to Paul’s personal life and the imminent arrival of his second son. Paul shared that they intentionally planned to have their second child, expressing both excitement and uncertainty about becoming a father to two boys under two years old. While they may not feel fully prepared, they are eagerly anticipating the new addition to their family.
Emma seized the opportunity to talk about her latest film, “Maybe I Do.” Described as a romantic comedy, the movie follows a couple trying to figure out their future when one wants to get married and the other doesn’t. They enlist the help of their parents to make a decision, only to discover that their parents are involved in unexpected romantic entanglements.
One of the highlights for Emma was working with her on-screen mom, Diane Keaton. She expressed her love and admiration for the legendary actress, even revealing that they occasionally exchange messages on social media. However, there was one regret that keeps Emma up at night. She lost Diane’s phone number after Keaton wrote it down for her on a piece of paper. Emma was too embarrassed to ask for it again, so she’s left wondering if Keaton thinks she never reached out or if there was something else written on that piece of paper.
Overall, the episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden provided viewers with a mix of hilarious anecdotes and insights into the lives of these talented celebrities. From unexpected wrestling moments to the challenges and joys of parenting, Emma Roberts and Paul proved to be lively and entertaining guests, leaving the audience eager for more.
