The cast of "Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar" recently appeared on The Graham Norton Show, and the interview was filled with laughter, surprises, and even a revelation about time travel. As we all know, The Graham Norton Show is famous for its entertaining and unpredictable moments, and this episode was no exception.
During the interview, Graham Norton mentioned how the late Professor Hawking's work on the nature of space and time often inspires the show. And it seems that evidence of time travel keeps popping up on the show. Norton playfully revealed that Daniel Radcliffe and Justin Timberlake have previously been outed as time travelers on the talk show. And now, they can exclusively reveal that Benedict Cumberbatch is also a time traveler!
A photo of Cumberbatch from the 1920s appeared on screen, much to the surprise of the audience. The actor jokingly acknowledged that he made someone very happy in the 1920s with his charming looks. Norton even offered to recreate the 1920s look for Cumberbatch, and the actor sportingly agreed, donning a vintage hat.
But the surprises didn't stop there. The famous red chair segment of The Graham Norton Show also made an appearance. Cumberbatch was invited to sit in the red chair and have his picture taken, following in the footsteps of many celebrities before him. The atmosphere was lively and filled with anticipation, as Cumberbatch posed for the picture.
While sitting in the red chair, Cumberbatch reminisced about his role as Voldemort in the Harry Potter films. He revealed that he had to wear prosthetics but didn't particularly enjoy them. In fact, Cumberbatch admitted that he actively chooses roles that don't involve heavy prosthetic work after his experience playing Voldemort. The actor also shared a funny anecdote about his costume mishap while playing the iconic villain.
The interview then took a lighthearted turn when Richard Ayoade joined the conversation. Ayoade had written a book that drew inspiration from Gwyneth Paltrow's film, "View from the Top." Ayoade humorously explained the plot of the film, which revolves around Paltrow's character aspiring to become an air stewardess while maintaining a loving relationship with Mark Ruffalo. The book delves into the significance of this film, intertwining it with personal anecdotes from Ayoade's life.
As the conversation progressed, the talk show veered into lighter topics, including childhood Christmases in Ipswich. Ayoade and Norton hilariously discussed differences between American and British terminology, creating a jovial atmosphere. The laughs continued as Ayoade revealed that he once auditioned for Madonna, only to be asked if Benedict Cumberbatch was his real name.
Overall, the cast of "Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar" brought a delightful and entertaining energy to The Graham Norton Show. From time travel revelations to hilarious conversations, the episode was a treat for both the audience and viewers at home.
