On a recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, the celebrities shared their hilarious and progressively worse travel stories. The chat show, known for its entertaining and candid interviews, did not disappoint with this segment.
In the interview, Ryan Reynolds, who starred in a film requiring a lot of green screen work, revealed that the director insisted on filming in real locations. Reynolds and his co-stars traveled to beautiful but dangerous places on Earth to give the film a realistic feel. They visited Oahu in Hawaii, where Reynolds hilariously mentioned that his cocktail umbrella blew out of his drink due to the strong winds. They also went to Queensland in Australia, which is notorious for housing the most dangerous animals in the world, such as snakes and spiders. It seems that even with the fear of deadly creatures, Australians casually walk around in flip-flops!
Reynolds also shared a funny incident involving a honeymoon couple on a plane. The woman became violently ill, much to the horror of everyone on board. However, her new husband, clearly an excited fan of Reynolds’ character Deadpool, nonchalantly high-fived the actor before boarding the stretcher with his sick wife. Talk about an unusual encounter!
The conversation then shifted to Graham Norton, who shared an embarrassing story from his days as a teacher. It seems that school trips are particularly challenging for both students and teachers alike. Norton shared a scandalous tale of getting extremely drunk on a school trip to Paris when he was only 21 years old. He and his friends thought they could indulge in some tequila in their hotel room while the kids were asleep. Little did they know, a group of children discovered them, causing Norton to quickly rush out and pretend to be sober. The mental image of Norton trying to pass as a responsible adult teacher is hard to resist.
Another celebrity, Julia Roberts, had her fair share of travel mishaps to share. When asked about her experiences with language barriers, Roberts revealed a hilarious incident that occurred in Spain. In a restaurant, she desperately needed to use the restroom but ended up having communication problems with the waiter who spoke no English. Through a series of gestures and confusion, Roberts hilariously had to demonstrate that there was an issue with the toilet after she couldn’t flush it. The waiter’s puzzled expression would have been priceless in that moment!
The final story came from Matthew McConaughey, who shared a romantic and funny tale from his honeymoon in Europe. While on a train through the Alps, the couple was informed that there would be three tunnels on their journey. The first two tunnels went by quickly, but the third tunnel was expected to last a whopping 50 minutes. Unable to see anything, the couple decided to indulge in some intimate moments. However, just as they started to get comfortable, the train emerged from the tunnel, and they found themselves in a well-lit station. Caught in a compromising position, McConaughey hilariously struggled to put his trousers back on while the Italian couples in the car behind them watched with amusement.
The segment provided a fun and lively insight into the travel experiences of celebrities. The Graham Norton Show continues to keep viewers entertained with its mix of laughter and candid conversations. Fans of the chat show can always count on these amusing anecdotes from their favorite stars.
