The Graham Norton Show never fails to disappoint when it comes to entertaining moments, and one recent episode was no exception. The host, Graham Norton, sat down with a panel of big-name celebrities who shared some hilarious stories about their fan encounters and, more specifically, the wild world of fan art.
During the show, Norton brought up the topic of fan art and how fans often feel compelled to draw their favorite celebrities. His guests, including Hugh Grant, Daniel Craig, and Paris Hilton, shared their experiences receiving fan art and had a good laugh at some of the less than flattering depictions of themselves.
Norton even took the opportunity to showcase a website called “Awful Fan Art” that features, you guessed it, some truly awful fan art. One particularly cringe-worthy drawing featured Jamie Foxx, which the guests unanimously agreed was quite horrific.
As the segment continued, the celebrities were shown more examples of awful fan art, including a hilariously inaccurate drawing of Daniel Craig as James Bond. The drawings were met with laughter and bewilderment from both the celebrities and the audience.
But the fan art didn’t stop there. Norton then revealed that there was some fan art featuring the guests on the show that he wanted to share. The pictures showcased the celebrities in various scenarios, including James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender blowing bubbles on a balcony and James and Michael in the kitchen. The images were both hilarious and a bit bizarre, which led to even more laughs from everyone.
The conversation shifted to the topic of hidden talents, and Tom Hiddleston shared a rather interesting story about how fans interpret a scene from the movie “Thor” as an impressive display of his pole dancing skills. He showed off some fan art that depicted him pole dancing and the audience couldn’t help but erupt in laughter.
The topic of fan art continued to be a theme throughout the show. Sarah Pascoe flaunted a painting of herself that she received from a fan as a form of payment for a gig, emphasizing that fan art can come in all sorts of creative and unconventional forms.
Next, Norton turned the spotlight on James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, who seem to be fan art favorites. Various drawings and paintings featuring the two actors were shared, including ones where they were depicted as gorillas picking fleas off each other. The audience erupted in laughter as the hilarious artwork was showcased on the screen.
The segment ended with a funny and somewhat disastrous attempt to recreate a fan art scenario in real life. Norton brought out a tandem bike and instructed the actors to pose as if they were riding the bike together. With the help of a green screen and some creative camera work, they attempted to recreate the artwork but ended up in a comical mess. Everyone had a good laugh, and Norton jokingly referred to it as a “disaster.”
Fan art is a unique way for fans to express their love and admiration for their favorite celebrities. Whether it’s accurate or completely off the mark, fan art never fails to entertain and provoke laughter. The celebrities on The Graham Norton Show embraced the absurdity of it all and had a great time sharing their own stories and reactions to the wild world of fan art.
