During a recent episode of the talk show “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross,” host Jonathan Ross attempted something never done before on the show: a three-way interview via the internet with Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert Downey Jr., and Mickey Rourke, who were located in different locations in the US. Despite some technical difficulties, the interview provided entertaining and insightful moments.
One of the highlights of the interview was the discussion about the chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow in the “Iron Man” movies. Paltrow praised Downey’s talent and described working with him as a great experience. She also expressed her admiration for director Jon Favreau. The two actors clearly enjoyed working together, and their rapport on-screen was evident in their performances.
Paltrow also shared her thoughts on working with Mickey Rourke, who played the villain in “Iron Man 2.” Although the two didn’t have many scenes together, Paltrow described Rourke as a “very sweet guy” despite his intimidating appearance. She jokingly compared his look to that of a “bad guy,” but assured the audience that he was actually a nice person off-camera.
The interview also touched on Paltrow’s personal life, including her relationship with her husband, Chris Martin, who is the lead singer of the band Coldplay. Paltrow mentioned that the band is currently recording new music and seemed excited about their future projects. She addressed the criticism that Coldplay sometimes faces in the UK and expressed her hope that they would continue to have success worldwide.
Switching gears, the conversation moved back to Robert Downey Jr., who was praised for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the film of the same name. Ross commended Downey on his ability to convincingly play an iconic British character despite being American. Downey shared his gratitude for the opportunity to play such a beloved character and expressed his affection for the UK, jokingly calling himself an honorary Brit.
The discussion then shifted to “Iron Man 2″ and the pressure of following up the success of the first film. Downey admitted that recapturing the chemistry of the original movie was a challenge, but he credited working alongside Paltrow as a key factor in the film’s success. He also touched on his admiration for Scarlett Johansson, who joined the cast for the sequel.
The interview ended on a light-hearted note, with Ross jokingly suggesting that Paltrow should don a superhero suit in the future and showcase her “rocking body.” Downey expressed his excitement to continue working with Paltrow in future “Iron Man” films and playfully suggested that the two of them should team up against him.
Despite some technical difficulties with the three-way interview, the conversation between Ross, Paltrow, and Downey provided plenty of lively and entertaining moments. Their chemistry and camaraderie shone through, leaving fans eager to see more of their dynamic on-screen.
