During a recent episode of “The Graham Norton Show,” Rachel Zegler shared some hilarious and starstruck moments she had at a night out. The actress admitted to approaching Harrison Ford and JJ Abrams at a restaurant, assuming they would recognize her since she had worked with Ford before. However, to her dismay, the Star Wars duo had no idea who Zegler was, leaving her feeling embarrassed as she walked away.
But it wasn’t all awkward encounters for Zegler. She also discussed her role as Cesar Flickerman in “The Hunger Games” and shared how Elizabeth Banks, who produced, directed, and wrote for the franchise, had created a bachelorette party game. The game became incredibly popular and featured cards with various questions and prompts. Zegler even read out one of the cards on the show, asking Jennifer Aniston if she spit or swallowed. Aniston decided to pass on answering that question.
The conversation continued to touch on other topics, such as Zegler’s time on “The Hunger Games” and the end of the series. She expressed a mix of emotions, including the relief of moving on from the show and the sadness of leaving behind the friendships she had formed with the cast and crew.
Throughout the show, Zegler was joined by other notable guests, including Viola Davis, who received Graham Norton’s love and compliments. Elizabeth Banks also made an appearance and shared her experience of going into full lockdown during the pandemic and getting a dog. Despite initially wanting a pristine house, Banks admitted to embracing the chaos and joy that comes with having a furry companion.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that Bruce Springsteen, Barack Obama, and John Williams had all visited the set of “West Side Story,” in which Zegler plays a lead role. Zegler described feeling starstruck and in disbelief that she was in the same room as such iconic figures.
The episode of “The Graham Norton Show” was filled with laughs, surprising encounters, and memorable moments. Viewers were treated to glimpses of the behind-the-scenes experiences of their favorite celebrities, making it a must-watch for fans of the chat show.
