One brave audience member, Lauren, shared a story from her family vacation in Dublin. While at the airport, her 11-year-old sister mistook a fellow traveler for the renowned actress Anne Hathaway. Not only did she approach the person for a photo, but she also introduced herself as “Annie.” Little did she know that she was causing quite a stir, as her mother began crying hysterically over the encounter. Talk about an unexpected reaction!
Benedict Cumberbatch, another guest on the show, revealed a surprising connection with one of his fellow boarding school mates. As it turns out, he and a student named Sebastian attended the same school. Rumors had circulated about Benedict’s antics during their school days, and this was the perfect opportunity to get the truth. Although nothing scandalous was unveiled, it was clear that their school years held some memories worth sharing.
Merrill, a lucky fan who attended the premiere of “The Iron Lady,” had quite the adventure. While trying to catch a glimpse of the film’s star, Merrill’s mother decided to warm up in the National Theater. Little did they know, her impromptu pit stop would lead to some unexpected encounters. Meeting Meryl Streep herself and mistakenly believing she was an undercover boss and secret millionaire surely made for an unforgettable night.
Even the host, Graham Norton, couldn’t escape embarrassing stories. In his case, it involved stolen drinks. A theater employee named Franchesca shared her encounter with Graham at a bar in Sheffield. As she was crafting his drinks, two cast members approached for a quick photo. Seizing the opportunity, they grabbed the drinks and walked away, leaving poor Graham to foot the bill. It seems even celebrities have to pay for their beverages, much to Graham’s dismay.
