Taylor Swift DIED In Eddie Redmayne’s Arms! | Best of Season 30 Part One | The Graham Norton Show

Pedro Pascal, sort of jobbing actor for a long time, and now suddenly, king of television. Two of the biggest shows on TV, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us. So, yeah. And because, you know, because, like I say, you've been in the business for a long time, are you enjoying all this sudden attention? Yeah. And love. Ariana, back to your Oscar. Absolutely not. It's all you, boo. No, no, but you're getting lots of attention. For instance, what are you? Are you the daddy of the internet? What's internet daddy? Me. Yeah, you are. Internet daddy. Yeah. I'm still trying to figure it out. No, people are obsessed about you being... There's zaddy. There's daddy. Zaddy? Zaddy. Okay. With a Z. I mean, that sounds, that's very, like, Silver Fox-y. It's like kind of an air about you, like a zaddy. I'll take it all. Kind of, I guess. I'm a saddy. A zaddy. That's the thing, is that I am a saddy, actually. No, listen, there's memes and stuff, but even on Twitter, they're all going crazy for it. Like, I need to stop calling Pedro Pascal daddy. It's becoming a problem. You're afraid he might have to scream daddy every time I see Pedro Pascal on my screen. Pedro Pascal is my cool, slutty daddy. I love this one down here. Pedro Pascal is a biblically gorgeous man. I want to feed him grapes. I want to fan him with the front of a date palm from the forest of Lebanon. I want to find the alabaster vial of perfume oil that one woman broke for Jesus and comb it through his hair. I'm going to DM that person. And the last sentence is, like he's stressing me out. You're so gorgeous. It's gone, right. It's gone, honey. You don't credit yourself with Lewis Capaldi? I don't put my name on them just in case they're absolute f***ing duds. Don't put it by Jamie Dorn in it. Yeah, so I use pseudonyms. Oh, yeah. Pseudonyms, which means fake name. It's something I only learned this year. So yeah, I use two pseudonyms usually. One in Scotland, if you go for a shite, you go for a jobby. That's what it means. So one of them I use is Anita Jobby. And the other one is Sucker Fat One. I think you're meant to keep them secret. Yeah, I'm meant to keep them secret. But I think when you look at me, you think, Sucker Fat One. But these are actual credits on songs now. Yeah, there's one by Kygo and Dean Lewis that came out. That one actually did well, so f*** actually. I've just called them all duds. Kygo and Dean Lewis, that one did very well. And Anita Jobby wrote that one. Anita Jobby, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sucker Fat One's yet to have any cuts, but I'm holding out hope. So any budding artists out there that want a Sucker Fat One, give me a call. We all know how you get ahead in this business. You like the UK. You're kind of learning to speak our language. A little bit. What are you saying? F***? No, I don't think that's... Come on, crack. You know you crack. We can have some crack. I'm not going to offer you crack. We're having crack. I think maybe if you look good in front of it's better. That's a good crack. Good crack, yeah. Yeah, baby steps. Yeah, exactly. What other phrases do you like? I watch Love Island, so there's a lot of those. Mug off, I feel like a couple of them. I'm like, what is a mug? A mug is what you drink coffee out of. Or there's like a mean mug, like why you mugging me? But what does mug mean here? I don't think it's the same thing. A mug is a face, isn't it? Is it? Well, they'll be like, I feel like a mug. And I'm like, what? How can you feel like a ceramic cup with a... I don't understand. But yeah, I like that one a lot. I'd forgotten this. I'm now looking at that. Are you okay, Anna Maxwell Martin? I did flag this, Graham. No, and I'd forgotten. You did say, and I'd forgotten. I don't believe you'd forgotten, Graham. No, but now, so you have a phobia of something on the set. It's not Graham! And it's not Bruce Springsteen. And it's not sofas. What have you got a phobia of? This is okay, because actually, I can see now, it's made of plastic. But I do have a phobia of fruit bowls, yeah. Oh, for real? Well, not the bowl, the fruit. The fruit, is it that they're all touching each... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. When did that start? I just don't know. I've got a few phobias. They just crop up. Okay. So is it the fruit or the bowl? No, it's not the bowl. But it's the fruit. Do you eat fruit? So what do you do for your five a day? I knew you could say that! I'm sorry! I'm like someone's parent! Now, I don't think we're going to upset you, Anya, but you have a phobia. Yes. But I think yours is a legitimate fear. Thank you very much, yeah. I am really scared of revolving doors. I'm terrified of being cut in half, or being stuck in one. And to be fair, my first ever scene on Peaky Blinders, it was a one-er, and I was supposed to run in through revolving doors, grab someone, take them through the revolving doors. First take, I get stuck in there. So, legitimate, I think so. Yes! And also, you have to match your speed to the speed of the door. Oh, God, and if you're at the airport, everyone with their luggage, I'm just like, I'm going to die. The story is, as you say, it's kind of that classic thing, it's a sort of closed room. It's an island. Yeah, it's a closed room, I suppose. You call it a chamber piece, don't you? Was that what they're called? I don't know. And a lot of people have talked about Benoit Blanc's accent there, and was he always going to sound like that? Was that in the original script? It was there, it was written. It said there was a very small piece of stage direction which said, Benoit Blanc with a subtle, lilting southern accent, which I flatly refused. Ignored and got on with that. And it's one of those things, in your head, did you think, yeah, I'll do that, and then you get to presumably a read-through, and you're going, OK. I mean, I said to Ryan, the director, I just said, are you sure? And he went, yes. And I went, OK. And then it's just work. I really struggle with accents. I just can't turn it on or mimic things, so I have to kind of learn it by rote, like musically, and then get it into my head. And then once it's in, it's in, and then I can't get rid of it. Do you want to know something really embarrassing about that period of my life? We can see that. We do. I was in New York, around that time, probably a couple years before, 2006, let's say, and a friend of mine who's a movie producer had her kid's birthday party, and her kid was turning 13, and they had the Upper East Side well-to-do, whatever. James organised it. And she said, look, Taylor would love it if you just popped in, whatever. It's fancy dress, but do not feel the need. I was like, yeah, grand, whatever. Pop in. A load of 13-year-olds. I went by myself, all these 13-year-old kids, all in really elaborate, fancy dress. I got talking to these two young kids. One was dressed as Dracula, and one was dressed as something else. And I was talking to them for a bit, and they went, I was wearing, it was my hat face, so I was wearing a throwaway or something. And the guy went to me, oh, cool, Justin Timberlake, cool. And I was like, I'm not. I'm not actually in a fancy dress. I'm actually doing my maids for a pint. And that was genuinely the last time ever, apart from that time. You've met Hugh Jackman before, I think. We did. Oh, we met. Oh, we did. Oh, we met. We did once. Once? You only remember once? Oh, is that all I remember? Yeah, there's many more times, Judy. Was it a fortnight? It was at least a fortnight. No, you met in a corridor, didn't you? We did meet in a corridor. Total strangers, and we had a great kiss. Ooh. People are very, very envious. We've had another one just now, so I've had two kisses. Wow, and the night is young, Judy. Yes, and the night is young. The night is young. Keep drinking. See you guys. See you. And actually, Hugh Jackman, you nearly worked with Dame Judy. Oh, yes. Well, no. I wish I had worked with Dame Judy on anything and everything, but there was a point where my agent rang me and said, are you interested in playing Bond? Not that it was an offer for Bond. Of course, I didn't know that you were playing M at the time, but it was one of those things where I have since found out, when I was being asked if I was interested, about eight other actors were being asked at the same time. Okay. Including Daniel Craig, so there we go. Weirdly, Taylor and Eddie, you have worked together. We have. Oh, wow, yeah. It was a decade ago. I once died in his arms in a screen test for Les Mis. Wow. I did not know this. There's a lot that people don't know about this story. Basically, I was auditioning for two roles in Les Mis, and I'd done a few auditions and gone to New York and whatever, and I think it had been established that I had more of a look of Cosette, but I had the range vocally of Eponine, so it was established that, like, I was there for a good time, not a long time. I wasn't going to get this role. But they were like, you know, do you want to come to London for one last screen test, and you'll get to screen test with Eddie Redmayne? I'm like, this seems like an experience I want to have in my life. You're like one of my favorite actors. You're so ridiculously talented. And I was like, so, yeah, I'll go to London. I get there, and they're like, okay, so we really want to make you look like Eponine. We're going to try to do... You know, she wasn't, like, loaded. She had brown teeth. You know, like, she didn't have a lot of money, so... A 19th century street artist. Yeah, exactly. I'm trying to say it in a way that makes sense. She didn't floss. Exactly. They were like, we're actually going to paint your teeth brown for this. And I'm like, so you're going to do that after I meet Eddie Redmayne, right? That's not something you do before. I get to meet people, and then you do the brown teeth. I'm like, no, no, it's, um... This is just, everybody's going to meet you with the brown teeth, and we're going to do, like, big circles under your eyes, like you're near death. I was like, this has immediately become a nightmare for me. And so then, you know, you were so nice. But I think when I met you, I was like, I don't know if I'm ready. It's hilarious. As you walked in as a 19th century French street urchin, and I was not expecting that, but my overwhelming memory of it, Taylor, was I had just been to Pizza Express beforehand, and I had some garlic dough balls. Oh, God. I thought we were going to be singing off of each other, you know, but they had us. Also, it was so weird, because Taylor was dressed fully as Ethanine, and I was, like, in my tracksuit. And they had us on the floor, like, singing Sweet Nothings to each other, and all I knew is I just had garlic bread. And I had brown teeth. We're just a terrible match. It was one of these. It was like trying to show emotion, but at the same time, not to punish you. You were weeping, and I just thought it was because of how I looked. I felt so bad. You're like, I have to be close to her right now. This is, yeah. This was not the method, no? No. It's nice to hear we were both struggling in that moment. It was a beautiful audition.
