Friday Night With Jonathan Ross welcomed Hollywood stars Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher to the show last night, and sparks were definitely flying. Heigl, known for her roles in films such as Knocked Up and The Ugly Truth, revealed that she fell for Kutcher while filming their new romantic comedy, Killers.
Heigl, who has German roots, discussed her unusual last name with Ross, and joked about starting a German movie Ladies club with fellow German-American actresses Sandra Bullock and Tina Fey. Despite the club being a fictional creation, Heigl took the opportunity to publicly invite Bullock and Fey to join her for a sauerkraut and sausage gathering at her house.
During the interview, Heigl also reminisced about her early film career, which included a role in the Chucky horror series. She revealed that the Chucky doll was operated by a team of people using joysticks to control its movements, although they occasionally made the doll feel her up, which she found inappropriate at the time.
Moving on to her current project, Heigl discussed her role in the rom-com Killers, in which she stars alongside Kutcher. She admitted to getting a little blushy during their love scenes and revealed that her husband had noticed her reaction as well.
Heigl then shared her excitement about working with iconic actor Tom Selleck in the film, as she had a childhood crush on him from his days playing Magnum PI. She praised his coolness and niceness, and expressed her admiration for co-star Catherine O'Hara as well.
The conversation shifted to Heigl's departure from Grey's Anatomy, where she played Dr. Isobel Stevens for six years. She explained that she had originally planned to return to the show after taking a family leave, but the decision was made for her not to come back at all. Despite the unusual circumstances, she remained positive about her future in film and TV.
As the interview went on, Heigl displayed her open and honest nature by sharing some personal habits, such as picking her face, which her husband is not a fan of. She also discussed her uptight persona in some of her film roles and acknowledged that she sometimes comes off as an "a-hole" despite not intending to.
In the end, Heigl left a lasting impression on Ross and the audience with her charming and funny demeanor, proving that there is more to her than meets the eye. It's clear that her talents and personality continue to captivate both on and off the screen.
