Graham Norton - 29/9/17 - Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie & Reese Witherspoon

There's still something left. If you are interested, I would be kind to someone. The dream was that someone simply said: I'll take all that. It never happened. It's a strange story. It's a little strange now that you tell it. It does seem like a good idea at the time. Famous Harrison, you worked as a carpenter in your early life, but you studied carpentry with your father. but he wasn't that good, my dad was in advertising and he liked to make things and we were in the basement working on building a table and he cut his finger and uh, why did he lose me, he laughs very funny when he sold himself like that , it wasn't funny uh, at that time I thought I was 16 years old.

I didn't have much experience with this, but I wrapped my hand around my dad's hand and caught it. I went up the stairs to him and I called the police and then I ran down the stairs and I picked up the finger and I put it in the Kleenex and this was a long time ago so when I got to the emergency room I said um and here's my dad, anyone. because that was a while ago and they didn't even think about trying to put it together if you just had some cellophane, yeah, thanks, who knew, yeah, so, he just had no finger, well, he had no finger here, he cut it off.

This big part of this finger, why are you pointing that at me? But he, but he was, uh, but he also cut off about half of this finger, right, but they were able to save that, but my father used to admonish me sometimes and point. at me, but he was pointing at me, but his finger was moving like that, so I always saw it really pissed him off, very clearly, just going back to Legally Blonde, there was something, last year, you must, when it made the headlines, President Trump, did. the commencement speech oh yeah, yeah, and then it turned out it had a strong resemblance to Elle's graduation speech, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was Jimmy Fallon who discovered this.

I know it was on the Internet. I know it was yes. maybe it was on Jimmy's show if you haven't seen it it's something incredible we'll just show them what we'll take our next steps in the world you must go out into the world it's with passion passion courage of conviction courage in your convictions and a strong sense of self be true to yourself I did if you hadn't seen it no I've never seen that I've always fallen down YouTube rabbit holes and I totally miss him it's true he's better when he sticks to the script you know how did that happen or is he just a fan of the movie?

I'm sure he's a big fan. Very strange, okay, let's move on to the Margot Robbie movie. It's a very British film. It's called Goodbye, Christopher Robin. Starts. tonight and it's the real story and it's a much darker story than you think it will be from A Milne, the man who created the Winnie the Pooh stories, yeah, well, I mean, Winnie the Pooh always prevails during my childhood , but I never questioned its origins or why or when it was written and it was written right between World War I and World War II and A.A Milne, the very famous author, actually fought in World War I and is part of the The reason why it was so successful, I think is because it came at a time when the country was feeling good, the country was very damaged and the world was damaged and people felt like they had been robbed of their innocence, probably and , you know, the books became this. safe place for people and became this global phenomenon and Gleason's lookalike, he plays Mill and you know Daphne, his wife and Christopher Robin's mother, yeah, and she's a piece of work, she's complicated, um, yeah, she's not immediately likable and maybe she isn't. even that nice in the end, but she has um, I really love her um and uh, you know she had her own trauma, he was dealing with PTSD, although that term wasn't really coined back then, I really didn't. they talked and she probably had postpartum depression and they didn't really talk about it, there's a lot of stuff like a stiff upper lip, you don't talk about your feelings, um, but they had this kid and he was brilliant and Will, who plays him, is the kid. most beautiful you have ever seen.

I've seen him before and he's a brilliant actor and he made everyone cry when they saw him, including myself, and I know what's going to happen in the movie, but I still cry, and yes, and they love him, but they end up ruining it. his childhood when he became so famous, yes, because that was what he didn't understand. Christopher Robin, he became a kind of Shirley Temple Macaulay Culkin, that's what they say, he was the Macaulay Culkin of his time, yeah, there was no real distinction between him in real life and him in the books being called Christopher Robin , they drew him, you know, they photographed him everywhere, so yeah, it's pretty traumatic for him, so there are some of those Santa bits, yeah, but there's also a lot of nice, happy moments. well, this is one of the good happy moments, it's you entertaining young Christopher Robin, with the original bear and they have a very good English accent, okay, thank you, yes, well, it's a very specific English accent, yes, it's like a 30s accent. one and she's an aristocratic english woman so it was yeah, very specific, not just a traditional RP accent and I hear you do a mind trick to get into it, yeah I don't know when I'm doing accents that I like, I need a phrase to get into this like when I did Wolf or Wall Street I had a phrase and when I did this it was like someone with water and it said: I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to her, okay?

I'm ready to do it, you know, and then on this one it was oh, I'm so happy, you know, I just couldn't do that, that's not a line in the script or anything and it doesn't even make sense as a line, but it was like I didn't know exactly. what I would say and it helped me now that you're on rebrit because you've spent a lot of time here how long did you live here because you just I moved reluctantly because we opened our production office in Los Angeles, but I've been living here for the last three years, and I don't know why I would be surprised, because you're a Margot Robbie living in London, so of course. you did but you got mixed up in some pretentious circles yes oh yes no thanks Victor I'm going to use this photo it came from oh okay well obviously it's you uh is that Sienna Miller yes I think so and that's a princess is that a Beatrice one or a Eugenie I can't tell from the photo they all look weird you're picking everyone better than me uh I think it's one of them and then tell us what this thing is that doesn't normally happen.

The friends aren't royalty but they are anyway of course Cara Delevina is a good friend of mine yeah they were a Suicide Squad together yeah yeah she's amazing at uh. The Suicide Squad in which you tattooed your cast members is like that, yes, because you. Like you're trained, so these are the tattoos you do, yeah, we call them Tomo juice, okay, and you get them done by the whole cast, isn't it weird enough, no one else wanted them, um, okay, just us Two of us got the toe emojis, but everyone else. I had Squad written on them and other people would just walk by the trailer and get anything and yeah, so I did all kinds of stuff and you can still talk to two people, yeah, I think I've done that, yeah, I'm probably close to 100 . now the little ones, little ones and honestly I'm probably getting worse as I go because we have a tattoo gun here oh boy so anyway up to my toes it's pretty convenient if any of your boots.

Coach wants a tattoo, oh, do you want to commemorate him? It's beautiful here, you pierced your ear uh yeah, I don't actually my gun, but I could, I can get by with it, sure, are you really thinking about this? There's no work, that's not all acting because Ryan Ryan didn't seem that surprised because you've already gotten a tattoo, right? Yes, how did you do it? Let's get you, it's not cool. What did you do? uh it was uh you know it was supposed to be a you know like the kind like a monster hand dropping a bloody heart but it looks more like a chicken you know making love to a cactus or something I don't know what happened a friend had one in his house I like to doodle It's a bad combination Do you have a tattoo?

Yes, oh no, do you? Yes, I do it right, yes, where is it? I went to university in the 90s, is that a label? No, oh God, no, is it a dolphin? They're willing to do this, I mean, they're very interested, he's washed his feet with them, so what do I mean? Is it difficult to make this Emoji thing? No, it'll be fine, yeah, so Adam, your time is here. This is happening. Okay, okay, then sit next to me while we're there. I don't want to criticize my own production team, but you could have taken off your shoes and socks first, it wouldn't save you the little time you knew this moment was becoming real.

Okay, okay, here we go, here we go, you don't have to do this if you don't want to, I honestly can't tell he wants to do this, are you sure? Yeah, okay, oh my God, oh, I know there's something I have to say now that this is legal, uh, don't try this at home, okay, perfect, okay, here we go, okay, on your own time, it's not that easy, no, it's okay, here we go, here we go. In fact, I haven't done one for a while. Sorry, I'm probably more nervous than you, to be honest, sorry, that's not comforting.

I'm not going to say that was unprofessional. I'm so scared I'm going to drink. My hands shake, but you don't. I don't want to hear that, okay, I'm sorry, oh, does it hurt? It's kind of funny, yeah, don't worry about your best work, you seem happy with your work, it really does, I'm not particularly good, but I like it. do it with this poker face. I'm so sorry, okay, okay, yeah, okay, fix it like when we're backstage or something, yeah, he's obviously trained. The doctors are now entering the studio, but in the meantime, it's time for music, these pop.

Pioneers have sold over 40 million records and are one of the greatest female bands of all time. Now the original lineup is back. Hooray, presenting a cruel summer. Please welcome Banana. You know, obviously Britain was really excited about Bananarama's return, but we forget that it's a global thing. which all summer was a top 10 hit in the United States, yes, I still remembered it fondly. I often hear it in the supermarket. It was in Los Angeles because we were coming back from breakfast and we were about to go to the beach on the bus from Santa Monica and we saw Mike Tyson sitting in the front of his limo and he started singing Cruel Summer to us, so everything was good and uh, this is a tour, you're back for a tour, yeah, we've got Siobhum back in the fold, for example, yeah, and we've never actually taught together.

We did a world tour right after Siobhan left and it was great, um, but we've never actually done anything together, it sold out because the response was fantastic, so you had to add another 10 dates, which I'm not I'm sure we can't make it. We have 23 dates now between November 9th. and December 9th, so gosh, it's okay at our age, it's great to have gummy bananas back in our world. Bananarama, we'll just do a first look at the new series, the big red chair, who's there. Hi, hi, what's your name, Justin? Justine I'm a lawyer, a real lawyer, yes, like a working lawyer, yes, like people can see you in court for the next few weeks, yes, okay, so you've chosen to do this, okay, I'll understand with your story, my mother's. a very conservative Irish lady and she is naturally protective of me and my daughters, her grandchildren and she is always talking about all the weirdos in the world that girls should avoid and one day in particular, my eldest daughter, who was then 14 wanted to go to the zoo with her little friend's friend, but no adults and of course my mom thought it was a horrible idea, how could that happen?

There are weird bugs everywhere in the zoo and the 14 year old boy and sort of trying to appease grandma said well you know, maybe the Anaconda tower is a little weird, which my mom didn't notice. of what he said, then grandma just turned around and said, make sure that if someone asks you to come look at their Anaconda, you say no, well done. and this is an address and that's all for today, please, thank you. I guess Bananarama Reese Witherspoon is amazing and Mr. Harrison Ford will be joining me next week with rock star Liam Gallagher, legendary actor Chris Rock, Idris Elba, and Oscar winner Kate Windsor, I'll see. so good night everyone
