And recently, the talk show delivered another memorable episode filled with humorous stories and unexpected encounters. From Jodie Foster recounting her wild experience with lions to Kevin Hart‘s amusing interactions with animals, this episode had it all.
During the show, Jodie Foster shared a childhood memory from her movie “Napoleon and Samantha,” where she acted alongside a lion. She revealed that there weren’t many safety precautions in place, and she had a hair-raising moment when the lion picked her up and shook her in its mouth. The crew fled in the opposite direction, leaving Foster to wonder if it was an earthquake. It was a nerve-wracking experience, but thankfully, she managed to escape unharmed.
Kevin Hart, never one to shy away from comedy, shared his own animal encounters. He talked about his trip to Australia, where he had an amusing incident with an emu. Despite being warned not to turn his back on them during mating season, Hart took it as a challenge. He ended up face-to-face with an emu displaying its “bird boner.” It was an unexpected and hilarious sight that left the audience in stitches.
But animals aren’t always amusing. Jodie Foster revealed another terrifying encounter, this time in South Africa. While filming for Doctor Who, she unknowingly ran into a sack spider, a venomous creature that her South African crew had been filming. Fortunately, she managed to escape unharmed, thanks to a quick-thinking crew member who threw the spider away. It was a scary experience that highlights the unexpected dangers of working with animals.
Speaking of working with animals, Graham Norton mentioned how his wife and he run an animal rescue center, taking care of various distressed and abandoned creatures. The couple’s kindness and reputation have made them the go-to people for animal-related issues. Norton shared an amusing incident when someone arrived at their doorstep with a peacock, acquired from a pub acquaintance. It’s just one of the many instances they come across in their animal rescue endeavors.
The episode also featured other celebrity stories, like Jack Black‘s encounter with a water buffalo during the filming of “Tropic Thunder” and Ellen DeGeneres‘ close encounter with a jaguar in Brazil.
