In the latest episode of The Graham Norton Show, viewers were treated to an entertaining and hilarious conversation with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. The talk show, known for its lively discussions and famous guests, did not disappoint.
During the episode, the conversation turned to the world of musicals, with Florence Pugh and Rob Beckett sharing their experiences. Pugh, who is Oscar-nominated for her role in a musical, revealed that she owes her success to a friend who lied about her singing abilities. Greg Melle, a massage therapist in New York, claimed that Pugh had a voice that was a mix of Natalie and brua, Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, and Aretha Franklin. Pugh humorously admitted that she thought it was excessive but embraced the opportunity nonetheless. The conversation then shifted to Beckett, who hilariously revealed the challenges of playing a pervert in a Cinderella film. He struggled with portraying a limp, resorting to putting a stone in his shoe to maintain consistency. However, he soon discovered that his character was lying about the injury, causing him to act like he didn’t have a limp, despite the stone in his shoe.
The chat show also couldn’t resist highlighting Andrew Garfield‘s remarkable career, including his role as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Garfield shared his initial hesitation to reprise the role, considering himself too old for the character. However, he couldn’t resist the opportunity, particularly because his childhood idol, Tobey Maguire, was also involved in the project. Garfield and his co-star Tom Holland even reminisced about sneaking into a theater to watch their film on opening weekend, causing quite a stir among the audience.
The conversation then took a delightful turn towards the highly-acclaimed film adaptation of “Little Women.” Florence Pugh, who starred as Amy March in Greta Gerwig’s version, discussed the character’s bad reputation and how Gerwig shed light on her complexities. Pugh expressed her admiration for her co-star, Timothy Chalamet, and shared a funny anecdote involving her grandmother accidentally renaming him Timothy Shamala Bing Bong during a chance encounter.
Of course, no discussion about “Little Women” is complete without mentioning the legendary Meryl Streep. Pugh revealed that during a scene in which she shared a carriage with Streep, the iconic actress expressed a craving for fries. Within minutes, a frantic production assistant appeared with Wendy’s fries, proving that even the biggest stars have simple desires.
