Episode 12 The Graham Norton Show

Tonight, music, movies, sport, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!

Hey, thank you very much.

Let me ask you, in person, I'm much better looking, right?

I didn't want to say anything...

-It doesn't matter if I'm much better looking!

-You're right!

Let's start the show!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello! Hello!

Hello!

Oh, my God! Hello! Hello!

Good evening, good evening, lovely to see you all!

Thank you very much.

It's a big night here because not only have we got

a great line-up for you,

but, hey, it's the start of Euro 2016!

AUDIENCE WHOOP AND CHEER

It really is, it's Friday, yeah.

And, just checking, yeah, England are still in.

LAUGHTER

(Just.) Good luck, England, and in the interest of impartiality,

good luck, Wales, good luck, Ireland,

good luck, Northern Ireland.

Viewers in Scotland have their own programmes.

LAUGHTER

It's just the start of a big summer of sport, and later in the show,

we'll be meeting the British boxer who's on her way to the Rio Olympics

as the reigning Olympic, World, Commonwealth and European Champion -

Nicola Adams will be joining us later. Yes, she will!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I know!

Plus we'll have music from the wonderful Tom Odell, yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, let's get the guests on.

For over 30 years, this actor has delighted us

in films like The Fly, Jurassic Park, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Now he's back in Independence Day: Resurgence.

Please welcome the great Jeff Goldblum!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There he is!

Hello, how lovely to see you!

-Hello!

-How lovely to see you.

-I know, come and sit down, yes.

Jeff Goldblum!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Saving the planet alongside Jeff, this Aussie heart-throb

has gone from Home And Away to The Hunger Games

and become one of Hollywood's brightest new stars.

Please welcome Liam Hemsworth!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yeah!

Hello! Really nice to meet you. Hello, come in, sit down.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yeah! Yeah!

And this man is quite simply

the biggest box-office draw in the world right now.

He's the Scorpion King, he's Hercules,

he's the People's Champion.

It's Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ya-a-ay!

They still love you, they still love you.

It's good to see you.

APPLAUSE

Before you sit down, I think...

This is the tallest couch we've ever had.

Please, everyone, sit down, I feel like a child.

An old child.

Very welcome, all, lovely to see you.

-Yeah, it's very nice.

-It's great to see you.

-Thank you.

How do we sit on this thing? Will we lean back or shall we sit forward?

-Lean back for now. Go on.

-Kind of an odd little couch to have on a show.

I know, it is, well, we don't want people to get too comfortable.

Yeah, it's really quite awkward.

-Well, good, that'll keep you on your toes.

-I know what you mean.

It doesn't have any, it doesn't have any...

-You're trying to figure it out.

-I don't want to seem too laid-back.

I want to feel comfortable but I don't know

if this is the position...

D'you know what it is, gentlemen? You are all too tall for that couch.

-My short guests love it!

-This is like a lumbar thing.

-Yeah, that's...

Yeah, but look what you've got. You've got a nice, er...

I LIVE here! LAUGHTER

Don't get angry at me, I'm not trying to pick a fight.

So we've got three big movie stars on the couch,

you're all in big franchises,

Hunger Games, Independence Day, Jurassic Park, all your shows,

but when you look at pictures of you as teenagers, it seems,

how do I put this,

so unlikely that success will play any part in your life.

Now, unbelievably, this is Dwayne in high school.

Wow!

You look 36 years old!

-I know!

-You've gotten younger.

And that's my porn moustache, I think that gave me away.

But did everyone think you were a teacher?

No, and this is a true story, because I've moved around a lot,

following my dad, and every new school, especially when I turned 14,

15, 16, during this time, everyone thought I was an undercover cop.

LAUGHTER

So I would go into these high schools,

I switched high schools four times throughout my high school years,

and they thought I was an undercover cop,

they thought I was a narc, there was...

I didn't have a lot of friends, no play with the ladies...

-Wow.

-I know.

-Aww...

No, I don't believe it, you must have, come on.

-Er, yeah, I was killing 'em!

-Really? But look at that sideburn.

-You know, that sideburn is very...

-High.

-..high.

-You went with a high sideburn.

-Well... By the way...

It's sort of like a Grace Jones haircut.

Yeah, exactly, that's right.

Wait, Jeff, this sideburn is only because

-I'd just started to learn how to shave.

-Oh.

-Look how high it is.

-Yeah. You loved shaving!

I didn't know what I was doing, yeah.

Now, the next picture, this is incredible.

So, there he is, Hollywood heart-throb, sex symbol,

-glamorous, sexiest man in the world...

-Well...

Who could have guessed,

looking at this...

Whoa! Whoa, I'm glad I saw that.

How old are you?

It's that moment where, like, "I should probably smile with teeth."

Have you had a mouth reduction since then? I mean...

LAUGHTER

It's most of your... You look like a hinged person.

It's a lot, it's a lot right there.

I felt like I was a pretty cool kid in high school too.

-How old were you there?

-Oh, it was probably two years ago.

You had that thing,

a lot of people, I think, have that embarrassment of...

that their parent is a teacher in the school.

But you took that embarrassment

and you took it to a different level with your mum as a teacher.

Yeah, I had my mum for personal development / sex education.

See, that's terrible. You should have been excused that class.

Learnt a lot, learnt a lot, she's a wise woman.

LAUGHTER

No, I remember it coming up and they were like,

"Yeah, you're going to have your mum for sex education,"

and then the first class we had together, er, she handed out these

cards to everyone that had some form of sexually transmitted disease,

and for whatever reason she felt the need to pick me first

and stand up, and she said, "Liam, what do you have?"

And I said, "Well, Mum, I have chlamydia."

LAUGHTER

"Thanks for this, this is awesome."

And Jeff Goldblum, you look beautiful, you look lovely,

you look like a very sensitive young man.

Here he is...

-Oh, God...

-I think, there's poetry,

-there was beat poetry going on.

-Really? Oh, thank you.

How old are you there?

Oh, I don't know, geez, this is, erm...

I don't know, you know, that's middle school,

as they call it, junior high school, what am I, 15 or 14.

Wow, cos you look so young,

but you have been a big movie star for, like, 30 years. It's crazy.

But you are one of those strange stars that people kind of get

obsessed by, and the internet...

Well, no, the internet loves Jeff Goldblum.

So many things of yours have hit the internet and then just taken off.

-This, I think this was the first one that became a thing.

-Yeah...

Have you seen that? No, I became aware of that.

-I don't know how they came up with that.

-Well, I think they...

You print it off and then you put it on bathroom stall doors, which...

I'm tempted to do it, it's good, it's a very good look as well.

-And then, of course, because your name is "gold bloom..."

-Yes.

..people have turned you into flowers.

There are literally hundreds of these.

Oh, I've only seen one, I haven't seen any,

-but I just came across one.

-OK, well, have you seen this one?

There you are in a sunflower.

No, I have not seen that one, that's crazy.

There's Jeff as a daisy.

There you are.

But this is my favourite, this is Jeff Dandelion.

Wow!

LAUGHTER

There's one picture from Jurassic Park, quite a sexy,

sexy shot of Mr Goldblum.

Er, there he is...

Now, this has been...

People latched onto this picture, you know this, right?

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of them.

-So this has been turned into an oil painting.

-How beautiful is that?

Er, it's been turned into a cartoon, complete with Barney.

A little back rub, yeah.

And this is the one that people really like.

They've taken Sam Neill from when he's kind of rubbing

the dinosaury thing, and put him in there.

That's my favourite. That's my favourite.

You can get a... They have a...

A guy has a video, you know, so you see me breathing,

and he's going up and down.

And a lady called Beatrix on Twitter tweeted Sam Neill to say...

..to which he replied...

I loved Sam Neill. I haven't seen... Hi, Sam Neill.

I haven't seen him in years, I'd love to run into him.

Well, he's lying on your belly in some virtual world.

And this will, er, depress and delight you in equal measure.

It is 23 years since Jurassic Park,

-which seems crazy.

-Crazy.

-But you didn't die, did you?

-No.

-So you could have been in that new one?

Yes.

-I was available, yes.

-Why I oughta...!

-They'll make another one, you'll be in that one.

-Yeah, no, I had my...

You know, I was very nourished by two.

I had a big meal, a big, satisfying meal.

-And the classic John Williams theme...

-Yes.

Now, I heard that someone sent you some lyrics to this.

Yeah, you want to sing? Here's a sing-along.

Learn... You know the tune that goes,

# Da-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-baa-ba... #

That's the John Williams tune, er, somebody sent me these lyrics.

And you're going to sing this, ready?

So learn this right now. Listen up.

# In Jurassic Park

# Scary in the dark

# I'm so scared that I'll be eaten... #

And follow me, ready? One, two...

Well, let's do the music, so, cue the music.

AUDIENCE SINGS # In Jurassic Park

# Scary in the dark

# I'm so scared that I'll be eaten. #

-That's it.

-Beautiful, very good. OK...

-They were excellent.

They were very good.

APPLAUSE

Er, now, Dwayne Johnson,

-your new movie, Central Intelligence...

-Yeah.

Its premise is that idea of people from high school

and how they transform and become different people?

Sure, well, you know, in the movie, Central Intelligence...

All of our high school years, very transformative years,

and in this case I was unmercifully bullied throughout high school,

and I was, er, I was obese,

and, er, finally, when I'm 17 years old

I get thrown out in front of all the kids at school, er,

completely naked, and I quit school,

and I decide to leave and go turn my life around.

-And the movie picks up sort of 20 years...?

-20 years later.

-And it's Central Intelligence, it's out on the 29th of June.

-Yep.

And it's you and Kevin Hart.

Now, I love movie strap-lines.

Er, this is a very good one.

Whoever thought of that deserves a bonus. That's good.

-Well, that would be me.

-Oh, did you?

I did not.

But I did, on this show, yes.

-But it's a really funny movie, I was saying this to you.

-Yeah, thank you.

It's you and Kevin Hart, Kevin Hart's been on the show,

he's such a funny man, so I kind of thought, "Oh, Kevin will be

"the jokes, you'll be kind of the straight guy in it," but you're not.

Like, you get lots of jokes in this film.

We flipped it, we flipped it,

so it was the model that everybody is used to,

where you have the biggest comedic rock star in the world

in Kevin Hart, and you've got a guy who isn't used to

being, er, er, in comedies all the time, but who could be funny

every once in a while, and we completely flipped it.

So, it was a great challenge and we rolled the dice

-and it wound up being fantastic.

-No, it really is, it is properly funny.

Listen, we've got a clip.

-This is you having a sort of heart-to-heart with Kevin Hart.

-Yep.

I'm talking about the fact that

I don't feel like I'm the hero of my own story.

-That's...

-How are you not the hero of your own story?

No-one else can be! Yo, CJ, I gotta be honest with you, man,

I mean, all this talk about Calvin Joyner not feeling like he's a hero?

It's crazy talk, man.

-No, it's not.

-You were the best thing about high school.

I'll always believe in you.

Yo, d'you remember those backflips you used to do?

The crowd would go crazy, I was there too,

I'm like, "What? How does he do that?"

How did you do that?

-I don't know, I just did it, man.

-Exactly. So do it now.

No, no, no, you're crazy. No, no.

-What's that?

-What's what?

(Golden Jack)...

-No, stop it.

-Golden Jack...

-OK, stop it.

-Golden Jack...

-All right.

Golden Jack! I'm not going to stop until you do the Golden Jack flip!

-Golden Jack!

-All right, everybody settle down.

Look, if the crowd wants a Golden Jack flip

then they're going to get a Golden Jack flip.

You go, girl!

CRUNCH!

-Ohhhhh, God!

-That was so close, Jack.

-Very good.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE

And, in the film, your character, you,

you take back,

-you reclaim the fanny pack, or what we'd call a bumbag.

-Bumbag, yes.

-Yeah.

-Yes, I do, I do. Well, it started with this picture.

I have an infamous picture of me in my 20s,

and I was just owning this look.

I had a turtleneck, I had mom jeans on, I was wearing a fanny pack...

I think we've got the picture, there you are...

-It's a strong look.

-It's...it's something.

-And this was you being serious, yeah?

-No, oh, yes, I think I'm cool.

This is full-on.

And are you aware that this has now become a sort of fancy dress outfit?

-Like, people do this?

-They do this, yeah, as a joke, yes, it's crazy.

-Seth Rogen was on the show...

-Yeah.

-..and he showed us his version.

Here's Seth Rogen as it.

That's my guy.

Then there's just a random man, but a very good eye for detail.

See, he's got the tissue under the elbow, which you have here.

Because my... Let me just give the audience context as to what that is.

What I had my arm on was very dirty,

so I thought, "I need a tissue, please, to protect the turtleneck."

GRAHAM CHUCKLES

-So, that's it.

-You must have a beautiful home.

-Yeah.

And, er, it's not just adults, no,

young fans are attracted to it as well.

I mean, yes.

LAUGHTER

-And again, again with the tissue, I love the Rolex.

-The tissue, yes.

And, actually, er, some other people have done it as well.

Yeah, check this out...

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Look at that. I want to party, got to party with those guys, yes.

The three of you should dress up and go out in London tonight, yeah.

The paparazzi would go hysterical!

They'd be like, "What's going on?! What's going on?!"

OK, er, another big film tonight, after 20 years,

we've waited 20 years, ladies and gentlemen,

to get the sequel to Independence Day,

and it's called Independence Day...

Resurgence. LAUGHTER

And it stars Jeff and Liam, and it opens on the 23rd of June.

And, like, Jeff, you were in the original,

20 years is a long time to wait.

Presumably you just thought this was not happening.

Yeah, I didn't even think of it, you know, er,

but, er, people liked the first one,

and then they called me a few years ago,

and Roland Emmerich, who directed the first one,

is directing this one,

he's a brilliant director, and said that Liam is in it,

er, who I've enjoyed, a wonderful actor, and, er, Bill Pullman...

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

-Hey, he's a wonderful actor.

-Well, yeah...

That was a weird place to laugh, guys.

-It's fantastic.

-Semi-offensive, but that's all right.

And, erm...

LAUGHTER

I don't know what's going on.

It's just fun to laugh!

In the first movie, we're talking about the movie now again,

er, Independence Day, the world was saved from an alien invasion,

so what happens this time, guys?

LAUGHTER

Well, we don't want to give anything away.

-Er...

-But there's trouble again, there's trouble again.

-There's definitely some trouble.

-And it's bigger, it's much bigger.

-Huge.

Er, it's bigger trouble, much bigger trouble, yeah.

And it takes some brave and smart people to

get us out of it once again.

Yes.

Now, you...

LAUGHTER

You... This is so weird, cos you worked together very closely,

and, Liam, it sounds like you took your work home with you?

I did, yeah, my work affects me in my home life also, and, erm, I had

terrible nightmares that, erm, Jeff and I were running away from aliens,

the planet got attacked by aliens.

This is legitimate, I actually had dreams that Jeff and I

-were running away from aliens together.

-Really?

We weren't fighting them, we were just running away.

What happened? Did anything happen? Did they get us or was it...?

Erm, you know, just one of those, we probably got stuck in the mud,

like most of my dreams, where you can't move and, you know, they

keep getting closer and closer, and eventually you wake up in a sweat...

-He's told me about this before.

-..screaming.

I have terrible nightmares most of the time, night terrors.

He screams and he gets paralysed, he can't move and stuff.

Do you remember your dreams? Do you have bad dreams?

-I really don't remember, no.

-Really?

You eat too much cheese before bed, that's the problem.

-I don't eat dairy.

-Oh, really?

-I don't eat dairy, yeah.

-You should eat dairy.

-I don't eat meat or dairy, so...

-Eat cheese.

-Maybe I should, maybe that's what it is.

-Wow.

Listen, you've brought us a really exciting clip.

Er, terrifying for us that live in London, but, er,

this is the two of you trying to escape

-the first wave of attacks.

-Yes, yes.

Oh, my God.

What goes up must come down.

SHOUTING AND GROANING

-Don't worry, we're in a controlled dive.

-Falling, it's called falling.

No, controlled dive.

EXPLOSIONS AND SCREAMING

-Whoa!

-Argh!

THEY SHOUT

They like to get the landmarks.

APPLAUSE

Not Tower Bridge!

-The Tower Bridge.

-Not Tower Bridge!

-I'm so sorry, I know, I know.

London always gets smashed to shit in these films.

We never survive.

And, you now, Jeff, have a kind of

strange connection to Independence Day.

-I do?

-Yes, you do.

-How so?

Your... (Your child).

Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh-ho-ho, thank you, yes.

Doting father down the end(!)

Yeah, yeah, on Independence Day, I was...

I got married a year or so ago to Emily Livingston, now Goldblum,

we've been together about five years, she was in the Olympics...

-Oh, wow, nice.

-..er, for Canada, she did rhythmic gymnastics,

and we had a baby. We were pregnant, we were supposed to have a baby,

it was the, er, due date was July 4th.

And then we shot this movie in Albuquerque, and, er, anyway,

we had it on July 4th, we had it on Independence Day.

-Oh, congrats, buddy.

-Aww!

-Do you have kids?

-I do, yeah, I have a six-month-old.

-Oh, you do?

-Yeah.

-Six months?

-Yeah.

-Wow.

-Wow.

-Congrats.

-Thank you very much.

-Boy or girl?

Er, a boy, Charlie Ocean.

-Aww!

-Charlie Ocean, yeah.

-Cool name.

And, now, cos obviously filming in action sequences are dangerous,

you know, you can get hurt, but Liam Hemsworth,

you were in all these action sequences with, you know,

young, strong people,

but it was in Expendables 2 that you got quite badly hurt.

Yeah, yeah, I, er...

We were doing this scene

with Jean-Claude Van Damme, and, er...

-Lovely guy, wonderful guy.

-Cuckoo!

LAUGHTER

So we have this scene, and...

GRAHAM CHUCKLES

Yeah, I know what you're saying.

At one point in the scene, he has a moment where he supposedly kicks

this knife into my chest, and, er, we did a bunch of takes,

and on this one particular take, er...

..he gave me a full Van Damme kick to the chest,

and I dropped to my knees, and everyone called "Cut."

-Like,

-full-on? Yeah, yeah, like proper, proper hit me in the chest,

and sort of dropped to my knees

and I had my hands tied behind my back and I was like, "Mm-rr!"

And the First AD came over, and he's like, "You OK?"

I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, I'm good."

I'm not going to show any pain to Van Damme, and I stood up,

and then he takes his glasses off, he turns to me and he goes,

-BELGIAN ACCENT

-"It's OK, it's a controlled kick."

LAUGHTER

And I'm like, "There was nothing controlled about it,

"you kicked me in the chest."

100% just got kicked by Van Damme.

But I honestly felt honoured.

You know, if you're going to get kicked by someone

-that's a pretty good person to be kicked by.

-Yeah, I guess.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, buddy.

-Kick boxing world champion.

You know him? You've worked with him?

-I do not know him, no. You?

-Really?

I encountered him once.

We were on the show?

I'm not sure if he's ever been on this show,

but I have encountered him.

-LAUGHTER

-He said another great thing to me.

Between that, the controlled-kick line, and this -

I worked with him for four days or something -

but the other thing he said to me,

he came up to me at one point, and he took his glasses off again.

Oh, that's a thing? That's, "Hey..."

He wore these glasses through the whole scene,

he came over and took his glasses off, and looked at me.

"You have a good face."

LAUGHTER

Glasses back on.

Thanks, mate. Thanks for that.

That's awesome.

But doesn't Jennifer Lawrence do a similar thing on

the Hunger Games before acting?

Yeah, she's probably worse.

She often, right before a take, would turn to me and ask me

if I liked having sex with kangaroos, or...

LAUGHTER

..anything along those lines, you know.

-Which is distracting.

-You never really know

what's going to come out of her mouth.

And your answer was...?

Absolutely.

That's what Australians do.

Australian and proud.

Now, I don't know if either of you -

do either of you do Instagram? The Instagrammy thing?

Yeah, yeah, I do a little bit.

Do you follow him on the Instagram?

-I do a little bit.

-I haven't encountered, no.

-Following him is exhausting.

-Really?

I don't have time to look at his Instagram, I don't know how

you have time to do everything you do on the Instagram.

But you post pictures

of the time you get up.

Which is crazy - it's like four o'clock in the morning you get up?

Yes, I used to do that.

For the past couple years, I would get up at, like, 3:45

and get all my work in,

and we'll go to set, because we got to be on set very, very early hours.

And then I started taking a picture of it, and saying,

"Hey, I'm getting up now,

"getting ready to do this.

"Whatever, blah, blah, blah."

And then it wound up becoming this thing, like a...

like a popular thing.

Fans, a lot of fans who found a lot of inspiration out of that,

"Oh, great, I don't want to wake up when you wake up,

"but I do want to wake up early."

-But people CAN wake up with you?

-I was just going to say -

and that morphed into an idea that we had.

And we created an app, and the app is called the Rock Clock.

-Yeah, Rock Clock.

-Yes, Rock Clock.

Careful how you say it.

LAUGHTER

Say that fast.

What's Rock Clock? When you get up, do your stuff,

get your homework done, do your anchoring?

Basically, we created this app, it's called the Rock Clock,

and you can put in your goals,

and it will help you achieve your goals.

You can put in the time you wake up.

And then it has a little special feature that...

-allows you to wake up with me.

-I love that.

I get that. I'm disciplined. I get all my stuff done early.

-In the morning?

-I work out, I play piano, I do my piano stuff.

I downloaded it. Last night - that is true -

last night I set my Rock Clock.

And...and this morning,

could I turn that...thing off? No.

LAUGHTER

Well, that's a thing, by the way.

One of the cool things is it doesn't have a snooze button.

-No, it doesn't.

-You cannot...

you can't hit snooze. You got to get up.

I was just like, "Shut up!"

This is it. This is it.

So you go on here,

-and there are all these different alarms.

-Yeah.

So...so there's the...

This is what I had, I woke up this morning, I could not turn this off.

Oh, this is the good one.

-DWAYNE ON ROCK CLOCK:

-'Beep, beep, beep...'

LAUGHTER

-'..beep, beep, beep.'

-Oh, boy.

'I can do this all morning.

'Beep, beep, beep...'

And it was, it went on for so long.

Yes, it just continues.

A good one is Good Morning Sunshine.

-Well, that's you singing.

-Yes. This is a good one.

# Good morning, sunshine

# Yeah, that's what The Rock just said

# Open your eyes up

# Get your candy ass out of bed... #

-That's my favourite.

-Got a great voice.

I'd get up to that.

And then the other cool feature is it allows me to shoot videos

and they'll get downloaded to your phone immediately,

so when you wake up at four, five, six or seven in the morning,

you have a video message from me.

-Do you want to do it?

-We should absolutely do one right now.

I think if you guys want to do one with me,

I'll do this, and then I'll turn it to you guys,

and you guys can wake up

millions of people.

Cool.

All right. Here we go.

-OK, here we go.

-There you go.

-There we go, all right.

What's up, everybody, Rock Clock users, here with Jeff,

here with Liam. You want to say "good morning"?

-Beep, beep, beep...

-Time to get up.

..beep, beep.

# Good morning, sunshine... #

And there's Graham Norton.

Hey, hello.

So here's the best part about it all, everybody,

here's the audience.

CHEERING

Wake up. Rock Clock.

Excellent, well done, you. Well done, audience. Very good.

Good job, guys.

Let's meet my final guest.

This is an extraordinary woman.

She has made history by becoming the first female boxer to win World,

Olympic, Commonwealth and European gold.

And now, she's hoping for a knockout in Rio.

Please welcome Nicola Adams.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You guys shove down a little bit.

-Hey.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hi.

Lovely to meet you.

Thank you so much for coming.

-Look at that.

-Nice to meet you.

-Good to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

Very good. You perch yourself there, Nicola.

Wow.

You see, you would normally look quite tough, but, hello.

Sitting next to this guy, it's quite hard.

-You can move back a bit.

-Oh, good, good.

She's not going to hit YOU.

There is no boxing ring here.

Congratulations, cos you've just won the World?

Yeah. Three silver medals, it's about time I got the gold.

Yes, well done, you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And of course, you're off to Rio, to the Olympics,

and Jeff has an Olympic connection.

My wife went to the Olympics for Canada.

She's a rhythmic gymnast.

You know, the ribbon and the ball.

She was the Pan American champion. There she is.

She was the Pan-American champion. That's probably her in the Olympics.

-How about that?

-That's something.

But she's quit now? Nicola won't meet her in Rio?

No, she's not going to be in the Olympics.

She does Cirque Du Soleil stuff.

She does, like, contortion, aerialist stuff.

Wow.

OK, you've just drifted into a reverie there, Jeff.

LAUGHTER

So the gold at the World, that's got to give you such confidence

heading off to Rio?

Oh, massive confidence. I got the European gold.

Couple of weeks before that, got the World gold,

and now I'm going for the triple.

And does that...? When you...? I don't know how boxers

prepare for matches, but is that kind of half the thing

done for you, because the others will assume they're going to lose?

Do you know what, I've never thought about it like that, actually.

If I was getting into the ring with you, I'd think, "Well, I'm a goner."

LAUGHTER

"She's won every medal known to man,

"clearly she's going to beat my head in."

But obviously female boxing is new...

to most of us it's new.

I didn't realise that it was actually banned in this country

till...was it 1996?

Yeah, yeah.

But why did they ban it? Did something bad happen?

Oh, well. See, the story is

women are actually too unstable when we have the menstrual cycle,

-apparently, for boxing.

-LAUGHTER

Wow.

Because Mike Tyson - steady, he's so steady. I mean...

"Hold this baby, Mike."

-Seriously?

-Seriously, seriously.

-MPs banned females from boxing

because they'd be too erratic and crazy?

Yeah.

Have you found that to be true?

I don't know.

I like my face where it is, please.

Now, it's lovely, I think -

is this in your mind that you are opening doors for young girls

who had no inspiration, who had no-one to aspire to,

-you are there for them now?

-Yeah, it's really good.

I love going to schools and inspiring the girls,

and the boys, as well, to get involved in boxing.

But I think it's nice for me to have... When I was younger...

-How old were you when you started?

-I was 12.

-OK.

-My inspiration was Muhammad Ali.

I saw the reruns of him going to the Olympics,

winning the gold medal, then turning pro,

becoming a world champion.

So he was my inspiration, but there was no female boxers

for me to look up to. So I guess now,

the girls will have female boxers to look up to, as well.

And of course, very sad news last weekend when Muhammad Ali died.

Dwayne, you had a really long connection

with Muhammad Ali?

Um...

yes. So...

my dad used to box, too, as well,

inspired with Ali and Foreman,

then he got into pro wrestling. And when I was a kid,

I had the opportunity to hang out with Ali when I was six.

I think you posted a picture - there you are.

Isn't that... That's so special, isn't it?

It was very cool.

And then, when I became a rookie in the WWE,

I saw him again, and I went

just to go say "hello" and pay the respects,

and he kind of pulled me back.

He got in my ear, and he whispered to me,

-"Can you rumble?"

-LAUGHTER

I was like, "Yeah, I think I can. Yeah."

And then a really cool thing.

As you know, and many of you may know,

he became the People's Champion.

Like, that was a moniker that he had.

So in wrestling, I just started calling myself the People's Champion

when I was a bad guy, in honour of him.

But I didn't let the crowd know that.

So finally, his family came to Louisville, Kentucky,

where we were wrestling one night.

Big family came, and I saw his wife, and I said,

"Hey, I meant no disrespect.

"It's all out of respect that I was calling myself that."

She goes, "No, no, no, Muhammad told me to tell you

"he loves it and he wants you to have the name."

I was like, "Wow!" Yeah, it was really, really cool.

It was really cool. So when he passed away, obviously,

like a lot of us, I was very devastated, but really,

I just got to say, it's such a cool thing what you're doing.

I love boxing, and especially women's boxing.

-The ground you're breaking is so cool, so congrats.

-Thank you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There's a strange thing.

Because when Muhammad Ali died, and we knew you were coming on,

but then we found out that Jeff, you talked to him.

He was a fan of yours?

Well, I don't know about that, but I met him at some event,

and I went, I said, "I have to meet him."

So I went up and I said, "I just have loved

"you my whole life. It's just wonderful to see you."

He says, "Jeff Goldblum?"

He said, "You scared me."

LAUGHTER

I said, "What do you mean?" "The Fly."

He said, "Don't be surprised if some day I come

"and knock on your door. I want to come visit you."

I said, "Any time you want, Champ, I love you."

ALL: Aw.

APPLAUSE

Now, when you off to Rio?

When do you get on the plane and head away?

We actually go the 25th of July, I think it is.

OK. Well, listen, we so wish you well...

-Thank you.

-..and we've every confidence you'll bring back the gold.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Nicola Adams, everybody.

And so to our musical performance tonight.

This Brit Award-winning artist's

debut album went straight to number one.

He's here tonight performing his new single, Magnetised.

It's Mr Tom Odell.

CHEERING

# See those birds going 'cross the sky

# Three thousand miles they fly

# How do they know which way to go?

# Somehow they always seem to know

# They say there's Mother Nature in everything we see

# Wish I had a little Mother Nature in me

# A little Mother Nature in me

# Cos it's not right

# I'm magnetised

# To somebody that don't feel it

# Love paralysed

# She's never gonna need me

# But as sure as the world keeps the moon in the sky

# She'll keep me hanging on

# Oh, you'll keep me hanging on

# See the couple riding on the bus

# Falling asleep with so much trust

# Wish I had a chance to let them know

# Their love is like a flower in the snow

# If it's just pheromones then that may be

# I wish you had a little pheromones for me

# I wish you had a little pheromones for me

# Cos it's not right

# I'm magnetised

# To somebody that don't feel it

# Love paralysed

# She's never gonna need me

# But as sure as the world keeps the moon in the sky

# She keeps me hanging on

# Keeps me hanging on

# She keeps me hanging on

# Keeps me hanging on

# North to south

# White to black

# When you love someone

# That don't love you back

# It's not right

# I'm magnetised

# To somebody that don't feel it

# Love paralysed

# She's never gonna need me

# But as sure as the world keeps the moon in the sky

# She keeps me hanging on

# Keeps me hanging on

# She keeps me hanging on

# Keeps me hanging on

# She keeps me ha-a-a...

# Keeps me hanging on

# She keeps me hanging on. #

Yeah!

Thank you!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Wow!

That was great.

Tom Odell, come and join us.

Seriously, really good job, sir,

really, really good. Come and sit down.

That's Jeff Goldblum, Liam Hemsworth,

this is Dwayne, Nicola.

-Good job.

-Lovely to meet you.

-You, too.

Hello.

-Have a seat.

-Thank you.

Drink your beer, you've earnt it.

You've earnt it. Well done, you.

-And very exciting, the second album's out today?

-Yes.

And it's called Wrong Crowd.

-It's called Wrong Crowd, yeah.

-OK.

Can I just say that you and I and Nicola,

we're quite normal-sized people, aren't we?

LAUGHTER

You three are giants.

You're making me look short on my first TV show.

You're not short.

-We're like circus freaks.

-Makes it look like people in Europe

don't eat enough.

There's no meat in our diets.

We've got scurvy.

Now, sometimes, when there's a rock and roll type like Tom

coming to the show, I think, "I hope they don't oversleep

"and they show up late."

But no danger of that, is there, Tom Odell?

I've been known to be late on many occasions recently,

and, Dwayne, your app is...it works.

It does work. Thank you, buddy.

He seriously does have the Rock Clock.

I seriously have it. I didn't just get it

because I knew you were on the show.

I've had it for three weeks, and Good Morning Sunshine...

..I'm waking up with The Rock every morning.

Yes. In your ear.

Me singing to you, yes.

-Dreams come true, Tom.

-LAUGHTER

-That's cool, thank you, dude, I appreciate that.

-No, it's cool.

I don't mean to pry - are you single?

-Erm...

-LAUGHTER

No, the only reason I ask... No, no, NO.

The only reason I ask is, as it was going off this morning,

I was very glad there was no-one else there.

Because they would hate you if you set the Rock Clock to do

"beep, beep, beep, I can do this all morning," for a long time.

I get wives tweeting me all the time.

Wives, and husbands, too.

"My wife is waking up with you, this is bullshit."

LAUGHTER

That's the only reason I ask.

I have no interest in your personal life.

You could be married with children, I don't care.

I'm not married with children.

-Yeah, but...

-Now you're telling us - stop.

LAUGHTER

It's not that sort of show - I don't care.

Live your life. Now...

you are going to Glastonbury - that's kind of the next big thing?

Going to Glastonbury, yeah, I'm really excited about it.

-I can't wait.

-Is this your first time, or were you there last year?

No, we did it in 2013.

And I found out, like 20 minutes before

I went on the stage that the album had gone to number one.

I was like... It was possibly the greatest half-hour of my life.

-That's amazing.

-Awesome.

APPLAUSE

Hopefully, you'll get the same news this year...

-Yeah.

-..that would be nice synchronicity.

And then the European and US tour starts in November?

-That's right, yeah.

-Brilliant.

Tom Odell, everybody. Thank you so much for coming in.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Just time for a quick story or two

from the big red chair.

Who's waiting?

Hello. Oh, hello.

Very good.

Buddy.

Is he talking, or not talking?

-He's got to talk.

-He's got to talk?

-Well, what's your name?

-I'm Alexei.

-Alexei? Lovely.

Beautiful job, very nice homage.

Oh, look, he's even got the tissue.

Oh!

Well done, Alexei.

Is there a story related to this?

There is a story related to this.

So last year, I went to a Halloween party with some mates.

They said, "There's no way you can pull dressed as The Rock."

So I obviously embraced the challenge,

showed up, and I was the most electrifying man at the party.

LAUGHTER

And luckily, there was a girl there who was really into wrestling.

She absolutely loved the look. And so I won the bet,

so I just want to say thanks to The Rock for hooking me up.

-Oh, cool.

-APPLAUSE

OK.

Do you want to let him walk?

-You can't let him walk.

-OK, there we go.

Oh, he was just about to get out of it.

He was just like, "Yeah, I got this...ugh."

We'll just wait for St John's Ambulance to clear him,

and we'll talk to someone else.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Ooh, hello.

LAUGHTER

-What's your name?

-My name's Lauren.

-Lauren?

-Yeah.

-Lovely, Lauren, and where are you from?

I'm from Leigh-on-Sea in Essex.

Big-up Essex? No?

LAUGHTER

"Big-ups Essex, yeah(!)"

-No.

-No.

-Leigh-on-Sea didn't really strike a chord with this crowd.

LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

So off you go with your story.

OK, coming home from work, really busy day, wearing a nice,

new little blouse, V neck blouse, got to the station,

train was already in the platform.

Really panicking, must get on the train, holding my bag.

Running along the carriages, along the platform,

"I really must get a seat."

Eventually, find a seat, sit down, really exhausted,

everyone's looking at me.

I looked down, and I have got one breast hanging out.

AUDIENCE GROANS AND LAUGHS

-Wow.

-The whole way, running up the platform.

-Do I walk?

-We like you. You can walk.

-Yay!

-Yeah.

APPLAUSE

Very good. All right, well done, everyone. If you'd like to join us

on the show and have a go in the red chair, you can contact us via...

That is it for tonight, so please, say a huge thank-you

to my guests - Mr Tom Odell...
