0:00:01 > 0:00:03- Hi, I'm Hugh Jackman. - And I'm Patrick Stewart.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Welcome to The Graham Norton Show.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Oh! Oh!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Oh, yes!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Yes! Yes!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Oh-ho-ho-ho!
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Oh!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Just living in the moment, living in the moment.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hello! Good evening, welcome to the show.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Yes, Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart are here. Yeah!
0:00:45 > 0:00:46CHEERING
0:00:46 > 0:00:49How exciting is that? They are the stars of Logan.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Logan, the new X-Men movie.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53In this film, an elderly,
0:00:53 > 0:00:57ailing Professor X is being cared for by Wolverine.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Aww. Remind you of anyone? Yeah.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02LAUGHTER
0:01:03 > 0:01:04You know what?
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I'm not sure Wolverine caring for Professor X is a great idea.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13I mean, I wouldn't want those hands wiping your bum.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15"Could you...? No, don't worry."
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Hey, did everyone watch non-league Sutton play Arsenal in the FA Cup?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21CHEERING
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Really? I didn't.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Hey, much controversy, though - basically, the Sun published
0:01:27 > 0:01:29official odds on Sutton United's reserve goalie,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Wayne Shaw, eating a pie on camera before the end of the game.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I mean, you do wonder, why is he the reserve goalie?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Yes, I see.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45So, interestingly, once the bet was official,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Wayne was clearly seen eating a pie, and it raises a lot of questions.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Mainly, who let him be in a football team? I mean...
0:01:54 > 0:01:57In the end, poor Wayne was forced to resign from the team. Aww.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00He said he's left the club with a heavy heart.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I imagine it's all the cholesterol.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So, we've got a great show for you, with some surprises along the way.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Later we'll have the new single from the marvellous James Blunt.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Yes. CHEERING
0:02:10 > 0:02:13But first, let's meet the stars of Logan.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15He's been captain of the Enterprise,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17the world's most powerful professor
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and is a real-life Knight of the Realm.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Please welcome the great Sir Patrick Stewart, is here.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24CHEERING Yes! Yes!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Come round that way. Hello, sir, so nice to see you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Lovely to see you.- You too.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Look at you! - No, you! You, you! Sit down.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37That's Sir Patrick Stewart.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41And he's one of Australia's greatest exports.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43He sings, he dances, he kicks ass.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Please welcome Wolverine himself, it's the fabulous Hugh Jackman.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49CHEERING
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Hello!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52So nice to see you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Come in, sit down.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Good to see you.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Oh!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02They're happy now. They're very happy now,
0:03:02 > 0:03:03very happy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Welcome to you both. - Where's my mum?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07My mum's out there tonight.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Where's Mum? There's Mum.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Hey!- Hey, Mum!
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Wow!
0:03:15 > 0:03:16You're a lucky man.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Aww, and a lucky mother, it's all good.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Welcome to our shores.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- ENGLISH ACCENT:- What do you mean, welcome to your shores?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Oh, careful, careful.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Trouble!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Uh-oh.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Well, that was literally, like, a second into the show.- Yes.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35And it's gone horribly wrong. Welcome to the SHOW, I said.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Don't get into it, it's too complicated.- All right.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I trust you, you're a mother.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Anyway, lovely to have you here. Thank you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- And thank you for your son. Now... - Yeah, thanks, Mum.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Welcome to you both. And, now, you've been on the show a few times.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- I didn't know you had a nickname. - Which one do you have?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56The one beginning with G.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Oh.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59LAUGHTER
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Rhymes with puppy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Oh, Guppy.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Because when I sleep I move around, and someone saw me on a plane,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09who I know well, and I was sleeping on the plane.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I said I had a great sleep. They went, "Really?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13"You were like a guppy out of water, like a fish out of water,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16"just flip flopping around." So, Guppy.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Have you seen him be a guppy? - Sleeping?- Yes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- I've never seen him sleep. - All right, all right, all right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I'm not hiding anything.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27My mum's here. Hi, Mum!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Restless sleeper. It's quite adorable, really.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32It's adorable, it's a little guppy.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Because you had nicknames growing up, didn't you?- Yeah, I did.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Stewpot was one of my nicknames, Stewie was another one.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Of course.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45It's different now. I'm now...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Well, social media, Sir Pat Stew,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50and @SirPatStew.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Nice plug.- Nice.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Seamless.- Followers up.- Seamless.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00And there's another one too - Beef Stew, which I rather like.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Very appropriate.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04LAUGHTER
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Very appropriate.- Thank you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- We'll call you Beef Stew for the rest of the show.- Would you?
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- Yeah, Big Beefer.- And afterwards? - And afterwards, yes, yes.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Excellent.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Now, the big movie tonight is Logan.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Logan, it's out Wednesday 1st March. - I like the way you said it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- You should be doing the voice-over. - You should!- I'd love to do that.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25That's great! Say it again.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- I don't think I could keep it up for a whole trailer, though.- Really?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I'd drop that and it would be...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31DEEP VOICE: Logan. SQUEAKY VOICE: Logan.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Logan. Logan.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Wednesday 1st March, and it's one of those films...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Because whenever one of these X-Men films comes out
0:05:37 > 0:05:41there's huge excitement, but this one, it's exciting for the audience,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44but it must be kind of tinged with sadness for both of you.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Well, it is my last outing.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'm not saying... It's not your last outing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You're not out, right?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I'll tell you about it in a moment, should the opportunity arise.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I think it's arisen. This is the opportunity.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Chat show, chatting.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02LAUGHTER
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Go.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Hugh has been on record for some time
0:06:07 > 0:06:10that this is his last appearance as Logan, as Wolverine.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I never thought about that, whether it was mine -
0:06:12 > 0:06:16it was another great opportunity to be in this franchise.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20But on Friday night we were in Berlin at the film festival
0:06:20 > 0:06:21and it screened there.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Hugh and I were sitting side-by-side,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27although the other way around, and when it got into the...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29LAUGHTER
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Facing the screen, right?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- No, it wasn't like that at all. - At all, at all.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48We got into the last five or six minutes of the movie
0:06:48 > 0:06:51and it's a very emotional ending,
0:06:51 > 0:06:56and I saw Hugh just do this a little bit and I suddenly realised,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58oh, Lord, I need to do the same thing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00And then this is what I felt.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Oh, really? Aww.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I swear, that was what happened, and Hugh held my hand.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10And of course, I was done.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I was finished and just weeping and sobbing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15But then we had to wait for the credits to roll
0:07:15 > 0:07:17before we could go up on stage and be introduced,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and while the credits were rolling,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23because they are long in these movies, I realised,
0:07:23 > 0:07:27if this is the end, there is no more perfect and beautiful way
0:07:27 > 0:07:30to say au revoir, goodbye, adios,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32than what has just happened.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34So I think it's the end for me too.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- What? Wow, really?- Yeah.- Really?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Why would I want to do another go at this
0:07:40 > 0:07:42after what we've done in this movie?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Because this movie is really, really good, and Hugh is amazing in it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- It is terrific.- Oh, that is...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Are you going to show something? - Don't worry, we'll get to that bit.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- You're not putting it off?- Oh, no, we've got clips and all sorts.- OK.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Yeah, yeah.- OK. - We prepared.- Of course.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I've got emotional... Sorry to interrupt, sorry.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02No, but it is a very emotional film, it is.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah, and I think, as we made it, as we prepared it,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08James Mangold, the film-maker, who wrote it as well,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11for two and a half years, and Patrick was there,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13there was a small band of real believers...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I thought the studio would say no, to be honest, but they didn't.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Emma and Steve said yes and it was...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20We made this film that was deeply personal
0:08:20 > 0:08:23and a very different kind of X-Men film.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I kind of want people to go and see it who have never seen
0:08:25 > 0:08:27an X-Men film, never seen the comic book movie.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29We wanted to make a movie that was true to that character.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31As I sat there in Berlin, I did,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I reached and I grabbed Patrick's hand.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38A, because it was 17 years since we first started playing them.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I mean, you go to school for 12 years -
0:08:40 > 0:08:41that's a long time at school, right?
0:08:41 > 0:08:46This is 17 years and I couldn't quite believe that there I was,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48sitting next to one of my heroes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51And I'm not just saying that to be nice,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I was at drama school watching the John Barton
0:08:53 > 0:08:57How To Play Shakespeare tapes with Patrick playing Shylock,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and I thought, "One day I want to work with him," and there I was.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It was a dream come true and it was a very...
0:09:02 > 0:09:07I realised how lucky I am and will forever be grateful to be
0:09:07 > 0:09:09in this movie, and I was very emotional.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Why now, though? Because you could have...
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Because Wolverine is such a popular character, won't you feel
0:09:15 > 0:09:19just gutted if they recast and someone else is playing Wolverine?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I think I'll be fine. I mean, look, if I wake up one day
0:09:22 > 0:09:24and I find out Daniel Day-Lewis is playing the part
0:09:24 > 0:09:28and he wins the Oscar, I'm going to be a little bit upset, all right?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32And everyone says, "Wow, now THAT is Wolverine."
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Curses!- It won't happen. - Curses!- It won't happen.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'll tell you what,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- let's have a taste of what to expect in the movie.- At last!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42You're in it, you'll love it, you'll love it.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44You're excellent in this.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49# And you could have it all
0:09:51 > 0:09:54# My empire of dirt
0:09:57 > 0:09:59# I will let you down
0:10:01 > 0:10:04# I will make you hurt
0:10:07 > 0:10:09# I would keep myself
0:10:12 > 0:10:16# I would find a way. #
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Logan, you still have time.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25APPLAUSE Even that's emotional.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26So good.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:10:31 > 0:10:35No, but even that isn't like a normal kind of, you know,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Marvel trailer. It's fantastic. It's beautiful.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It's not, it's very different and I remember being there when
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- they first played us that trailer, you remember?- Oh, yeah.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46With that Johnny Cash song, which just seemed so perfect.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49And, of course, our director did Walk The Line,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52so he didn't know they were going to use that Johnny Cash song.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55But it is perfect. We're very proud of it and...yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58So, tell us about what the last film is, a taste of what happens.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Well, they've even given a date for this one.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06It's 2029, so it's 12 years ahead of now.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08We are a little older.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12In my case, only a little older.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Charles is 90, 90-ish, thereabouts.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19He's frail, weak,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22defenceless, troubled,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24aggressive, hostile,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27confused, and most importantly...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Funny.- Oh, funny occasionally. - Funny.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Yeah, yeah, funny. Thank you for that.- Yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- And might I add, sexy.- Ooh.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I'm just saying. I'm throwing them out there.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Beef Stew, don't look at me that way, Beef Stew!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44No, the last adjective I was going to add was...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46LAUGHTER
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Juicy.- No!
0:11:50 > 0:11:54OK, juicy. And very, very dangerous.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59He has lost control of this power that he has in his brain
0:11:59 > 0:12:03and so this guy has got a day-time and night-time job
0:12:03 > 0:12:05trying to make a little bit of money,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08living in this part of desert northern Mexico,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12in order to pay for my medications.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Is that familiar to anybody at all?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18That's the kind of movie this is, with storylines like that.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Normally when you see a film,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24the film stars in the film look even better than they do in real life.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26LAUGHTER
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Not being rude...
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- You both look a bit rough around the edges in this film.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I mean, Patrick kind of said it was quite shocking,
0:12:35 > 0:12:36- because you'd lost 21 pounds. - Uh-huh.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39And I remember you telling me you were this...
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Like, you were, at 14, the same weight you've been your entire life.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Uh-huh.- And I spent about six hours every morning in make-up,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47you know, to get...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50No, it was literally like six seconds, get out of the car.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51I said, "I'll go to make up?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53They're like, "You're good. Let's go."
0:12:53 > 0:12:56No, we've got to say, though, just in case people are worried,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59when Wolverine takes his shirt off,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02you're still in quite the condition.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04CHEERING
0:13:04 > 0:13:05For people who are kind of going,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08"Oh, yeah, I'll go to the gym, I'll look like that,"
0:13:08 > 0:13:11describe the lead-up to a day when you know
0:13:11 > 0:13:14you're filming a shirt-off scene.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Well, yeah, there's a thing called dehydration.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21So, do not try this at home, but you can lose up to ten pounds,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24which is four kilos of weight on your surface.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27So, all of this under here is water.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29So you drink a lot of water for a week,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32getting up to maybe ten litres a day,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36and then you stop about 30 hours before you film.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38And so, for the next ten hours,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41you're just peeing constantly because you've been drinking,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44so your body's used to it, and then all this water is going.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You have, like, half a baked potato
0:13:47 > 0:13:50and a few other things that suck water from the inside.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52And then it's kind of not fun,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54but the results end up being pretty good.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Again, do not try this at home.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Unless you're getting married next weekend.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Use it for the final push for the dress.- Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08But you will have a massive headache throughout the entire wedding.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Do you just feel awful? You must feel terrible.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- You feel bad and you have a headache.- Tell them about the meals.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- You know, you standing on the set... - You eat every two hours...- A meal!
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Like, 6,500 calories a day. So, for me, it was a lot.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24And, Mum, not your cooking.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Like, steamed chicken and steamed broccoli.- That was it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Not like your beautiful stuff. - But then...
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- So, that's how you did it in a film. - Yes.- Patrick, how did you do...?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35You're not even in a film in this picture.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38This is just you hanging out.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39What?!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Come on! Look at you!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43That's last year, right?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45CHEERING
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Do you just gym? Do you gym all the time?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54No, sir, I do not.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I just think clean thoughts and...
0:14:57 > 0:14:59LAUGHTER
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I'm embarrassed about that photograph.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07The whole purpose of the photograph was that pink motif.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09The shoes, the shorts, the cocktail.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It doesn't go with Beef Stew.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It doesn't suggest Beef Stew.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- But, no, you're in fantastic condition.- Thank you.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Is it yoga? - No. You know, I was born...
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Thank you, my mother and father,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24they gave me great skin and they gave me this...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26But you did do yoga. Maybe over the years you...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29No, no, no, I tried it, it was not for me.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Right.- It hurt.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33LAUGHTER Tell us about it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36And this is weird.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39And don't answer this question if you don't want to, Patrick,
0:15:39 > 0:15:40but I have...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I don't know why you brought this up, but I did hear you discuss,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46you had an extraordinary disagreement
0:15:46 > 0:15:49with your wife about yourself.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Do you know what I'm talking about? - By myself you mean...?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Ooh.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Er...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Yes.- Listen, do you know this story? - I do not know this story.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Listen with interest.- Well...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04One night, as you do, we were talking about stuff and...
0:16:05 > 0:16:07And I just happened to mention...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09And of course, being circumcised, I said...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11LAUGHTER
0:16:11 > 0:16:15They were chatting. They're married! They're married, they're allowed.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16And she said...
0:16:17 > 0:16:21She said, "You're not circumcised."
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I said, "What do you mean? "You've only known me a few..."
0:16:25 > 0:16:27All my life, I remember my mother telling me why,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29because it was fashionable at the time.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33She said, "You're not circumcised." I said, "That's ridiculous!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36"I should know if I'm circumcised. Of course I am.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38"End of conversation."
0:16:38 > 0:16:42But the next day, I happened to be seeing my doctor for...
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Are you OK?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- I was seeing my doctor for my annual physical.- Of course.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54So, while he was down there...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56LAUGHTER
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- I said...- "Excuse me, Doctor." - "Oh, by the way, Irv,
0:17:00 > 0:17:05"my wife and I had a little disagreement.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09"I am circumcised, aren't I? Because she says I'm not."
0:17:09 > 0:17:11And he goes...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16"Not."
0:17:16 > 0:17:18LAUGHTER
0:17:18 > 0:17:20APPLAUSE
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I said, "No, no, it's not possible!"
0:17:25 > 0:17:26So he looked down again and he said,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29"Hey, I'm Jewish, I know the difference."
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- That is a bizarre story. - Too much information.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I have grandchildren!
0:17:42 > 0:17:44LAUGHTER
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You're going to have to change your Facebook status now.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Oh, yes, no more Beef Stew.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Well, there's MORE Beef Stew.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59LAUGHTER
0:18:01 > 0:18:03APPLAUSE
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Oh, dear.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10But now, what is lovely,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12because acting is a kind of transient thing -
0:18:12 > 0:18:13you meet people and then you don't.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15But one of the lovely things that came out of these films
0:18:15 > 0:18:18is your friendship with Ian McKellen.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- It did.- But you must have known Ian McKellen before the films.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Oh, yes, since I was a teenager.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27He's two years older than me, by the way.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31He said something the other day, really,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34along with what he was just saying, one of the nicest things ever.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36He said, "Yeah, Patrick Stewart and I,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40"I really feel that last I have a brother."
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Aww! That's adorable.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44He might have said father, of course.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You have kind of a theory about the way he speaks,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52the way Ian McKellen speaks.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Well, we did an animated movie together as well as these.- You did?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Yeah. It was called Flushed Away. I really loved...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01My son often says, "Why was there no sequel to that?"
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And I say, "Because it lost a lot of money," but...
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I always remember he played the Toad.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08"Rita. Hello, Rita."
0:19:08 > 0:19:11And I was always like, he can get, like,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13consonants where there's nothing.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Like, he can make a one-syllable word into 20.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- OK, here's a test for you, here's a test for you.- Yes.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- If you shut your eyes.- Yes. - Shut your eyes, OK.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Is this the real voice of Ian McKellen or is it somebody
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- doing Ian McKellen?- OK.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Graham, is there room for another mutant on that sofa of yours?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- That's real.- That's him. - That was real, yeah.- Yes, it is.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Come out, Ian McKellen!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38CHEERING
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Are you all right? - It's so good to see you.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Hello, darling. Hi. Lovely to see you.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Have a seat, have a seat. Have a seat.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08My two brothers.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10My three brothers.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I should just explain why I'm dressed as I am.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I have just come down from Scotland and it took longer to get
0:20:17 > 0:20:20from City Airport to us than it took to go from Edinburgh
0:20:20 > 0:20:24to City Airport, so I'm still in the clothes I was wearing up there.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Well, you're very welcome. You look lovely.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Do you recognise this? - Yes, I think I do.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- This is Magneto's coat. - Is it really?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Yeah, they gave it to me. Do you remember the red?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Look at it now!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Oh, that is so good!
0:20:38 > 0:20:42So I'm just hoping someone's watching,
0:20:42 > 0:20:43a needle and thread can help me.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Look, I think we can drape it somewhere.- There's more.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48My mum can do that, she's very good with that stuff.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51No, you're not working tonight. I refuse, I refuse.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I'll drape it there, I'll drape it there.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58You're very welcome, you're very welcome.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- I've got more to tell you about my clothes!- Please do, please do.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I was at Kirkcaldy High School,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05telling them to be nice to each other.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I go around schools doing that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Gordon...- Ramsay?- No.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Brown?- Grey.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15The Prime Minister, yes, he'd been in that school.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And they gave me their school tie and I said, "Well, I'm going
0:21:18 > 0:21:21"on the Graham Norton show and I'll wear the tie," so I had to wear it,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- so that's for Kirkcaldy. - Nice.- They also gave me these...
0:21:25 > 0:21:27LAUGHTER
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Do you know what these are? - Shoelaces.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30But they're rainbow coloured.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Are they footballer anti-bullying?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35They are, and footballers who approve of gay people coming out
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and being honest about themselves wear these to show their support.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40So here we are, I'm wearing them.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42CHEERING
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Well, it's lovely to have you here. It's a lovely surprise.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Now, here's the thing, though, because the guys are talking
0:21:50 > 0:21:53about this movie, Logan, which is part of the X-Men franchise...
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I've never heard of it, to tell you the truth.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57How come you're not in it?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Do you know? I think when you get to my age,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05you want to leave aside those tired old franchises.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Move on to something fresh.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16I sometimes cry myself to sleep.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I simply don't know how I... I don't know why I'm not in it, darlings!
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Um... When... - Could you not do another one?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Leave this one out.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33It's time you died. And I tell you...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:22:37 > 0:22:41I remember, Professor X, you did die in one of the movies.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Yeah, I was vaporised. - But he's resurrected.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Yeah, but that's nothing.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It was only at the level of DNA that he was vaporised.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Of course, he can come back together.- Oh, I see.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Come on.- Yeah, yeah.- I remember...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Can I just say - because I wanted to say thank you to all these years,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I'm sure I have, I hope I have.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I was very nervous on that first film. I started three weeks in.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- It was my first movie.- Yes, I know.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And there was a lot going on.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07And there was a lot of people and I remember you
0:23:07 > 0:23:09pulling me aside and saying,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11"This, at times, is going to feel uncomfortable,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13"it's going to feel overwhelming,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15"but you're in good hands and everything's going to be OK."
0:23:15 > 0:23:18And you, both of you, were such heroes of mine, I was a little
0:23:18 > 0:23:22starstruck, but it was the first day I met you and you saying that
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- to me, I never ever forgot it. - Don't think I was in love with you.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- And then we kissed.- I'd seen you at the National Theatre in a musical.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34What was it?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It was Oklahoma!
0:23:36 > 0:23:37# Oh, what a beautiful morning! #
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- You know.- I took your dressing room straight after you.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Did you?- I took a photo.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Did I leave anything behind?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- A surprise.- Had I known it was you, I would have done.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- This is a very saucy show. - It certainly is!
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Patrick was talking before you came out about that you'd sort of
0:24:00 > 0:24:02known each other over the years,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06but were you kind of rivals in your careers or not?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08No, only recently.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I've never thought of having rivals.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Everyone gets on with what they can do.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And there's plenty of room for everybody.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20But sometimes I think I am Patrick Stewart, except that he's Yorkshire.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'm sorry about that, but you are.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Lancastrian.- I'm from Lancashire.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30But our interests are the same, as far as career's concerned.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33We started with the RSC, we wanted to do Shakespeare,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35wanted to be taken seriously as actors.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38But given the chance of another sort of work,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41a very popular sort of work, of course, we leapt at it and
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- couldn't quite believe our luck that we'd been asked.- Absolutely.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Or in your case, asked back again and again.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52So young and so bitter!
0:24:54 > 0:24:57But I heard you talking about Ian and talking about how you
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- were intimidated by his beauty.- Yes.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Well... Please tell me you have a photograph.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06This was a long time ago.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Gorgeous! - I think we do have a photograph.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10We've got a photograph of Ian as Coriolanus.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Here you are.- Look at that! Come on!- My Lord!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Wolverine, eat your heart out!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Having said that, you do look great there, Ian,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22but check out Patrick Stewart.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- AUDIENCE:- Whoo!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Yeah.- Well, you know.- You know?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30This is what you've got to look forward to.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38I'll tell you something, you've been hearing about this amazing body.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It is absolutely amazing.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43And a privilege to be so close.
0:25:45 > 0:25:52But Magneto, the character I used to play in this tired old franchise,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- was also pretty muscular, wasn't he?- Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- He was.- And there, you can see.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02But the trick is that I am wearing underneath my costume a suit which
0:26:02 > 0:26:06is sculpted to look as if I've put all the effort as he has into it?
0:26:06 > 0:26:07- What?!- You knew that.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Did you know that?- No. I was told - you've got to work out.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13McKellen's working out, you've got to work out.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17I just put on the suit and I tell you what, I've still got it at home.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19I do wear on occasion.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Why have you two got drinks and I don't?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Yeah, that's a good point. - Would you like a drink?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- We've got red wine, if you want it. - Red wine.- Red wine, red wine.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Oh, look at that.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Psychic!- Oh, Lord! - Water and red wine.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Let's just shout out drinks and see if they show up.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Any nibbles?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Rack of lamb?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Oh, we're doing... - Cheers, darling.- Cheers.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Cheers, cheers.- It's lovely to see you.- Lovely to see you.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Oh, look. People.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57What's all this about you being circumcised?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Come on, you shared a dressing room! - I know.- You know.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06So, you worked together. You worked together on Broadway.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- You did two plays together on Broadway.- They were brilliant.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Oh, yes.- Yes.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17You know, there are not many plays where there are two wonderful
0:27:17 > 0:27:20parts for actors of the same age.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24So, you can go through your life never working with the people
0:27:24 > 0:27:27you admire and the people who you have an awful lot in common with.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Shakespeare's not bad, to that extent.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32But there are a few plays and one of them is Waiting For Godot,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35there are two wonderful parts for people of the same age.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37And another one is No Man's Land by Harold Pinter
0:27:37 > 0:27:39and we've done them both.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42And we've just finished doing No Man's Land in London.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Though don't despair, if you missed it, you can catch on NT Live.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- They record a performance.- Oh, the cinema.- They show it in cinemas.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- I have just had an idea.- What?
0:27:54 > 0:27:55This is awesome.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58LAUGHTER
0:27:58 > 0:28:03For some time now, I have been teasing Hugh but getting more
0:28:03 > 0:28:07and more serious about a theatre job we might do together.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Oh?- I have been saying to this man for a long time,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13he should play Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It is as if the role might have been written for him.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20And I add a rider that if he plays Sweeney Todd, I will,
0:28:20 > 0:28:25for a limited run, play the Judge, which is a two scene role,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29but with two numbers, including a duet between the two of them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Who should play Mrs Lovett?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:28:36 > 0:28:38That is a good idea. CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:28:38 > 0:28:40# Have a little priest
0:28:40 > 0:28:41# Have a bit of priest... #
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- That's a good idea. - That's a really good idea!
0:28:47 > 0:28:50And there's a nice juvenile part
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- that Eddie Redmayne played in the movie.- Yeah.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57I could play a pie.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03We very briefly must mention Beauty and the Beast, Ian's new film.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06It's in cinemas from the 17th of March and it's not just you,
0:29:06 > 0:29:07it's fabulous people -
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Emma Thompson, Ewan McGregor.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13And who are you in the world of Beauty and the Beast?
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Well, in my view, the film should be called Beauty and the Clock.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Does that give you a clue?
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- I play Cogsworth the Clock. - If it ain't BAROQUE, don't fix it.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27There we go.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31But you know, he is a great song and dance man.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35That's how I first saw Hugh, on stage at the National Theatre,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37singing his heart out.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40And then he did a show on Broadway,
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- which hasn't yet come to England, Boy From Oz.- Yeah.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- And you've got a one-man show when you sing and dance.- Mm.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Now, Patrick does a bit of singing.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53You made a lovely record of your version of some standards,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55haven't you, with Sunny?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59And I thought it was time that I got into the musical side
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- of the business.- Yes! - You're singing!
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Well, yes.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- I think we've got a pic. There. This is you.- Yes, that's me.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- LAUGHTER - I voice that clock.- Yes.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14And at the end, I'm not giving away any secrets, I think,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- when the prince stops being a beast...- The spell thing.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22- I come back as myself and that's when you see me...- Ah!
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- Got it!- But very briefly.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25OK, OK.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- We do have a little taster. This features your clock in action.- Oh!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31LAUGHTER
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Look out for it. There's two hands on it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40The jokes write themselves.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Here's a taste of Beauty and the Beast.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I've come for my father.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49He's a thief.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Come into the light.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54I will escape, I promise.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Look! A girl!- Who said that?- Hello!
0:31:00 > 0:31:04- You can talk?- Well, of course. It's all he ever does.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08How lovely to make your acquaintance.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Want to see me do a trick?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14What happens when the last petal falls?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17The master remains a beast forever.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18And we become antiques.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Oh, very good! CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:31:23 > 0:31:28You were talking about Hugh, but you've been in it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29That was one of my first shows.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- My first theatre show was Beauty and the Beast.- Stage show?- Gaston.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34There he is as Gaston.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37# Just one dream
0:31:37 > 0:31:39# Nearly all your life
0:31:39 > 0:31:41# Hoping, scheming, just one theme
0:31:41 > 0:31:44# Will you be my wife? #
0:31:44 > 0:31:46CHEERS AND APPLAUSE Beautiful!
0:31:52 > 0:31:57And, Patrick, now, you are getting into the animation world as well.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59It's just been announced, your exciting new casting.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Yes.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Tell us who you're playing. - Why are you laughing?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Because I know what the answer is.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Well, there is to be an Emoji movie.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Yes, Patrick.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20And among the top three most popular emojis of all time is one
0:32:20 > 0:32:24that I will play and his name is...
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Poop.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- There he is. - LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Wait for this, it's Professor X-crement.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Oh, yes!- Not my own.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Have you got the voice for Poop yet? - Yes, he sounds rather like this.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45He's quite grand and very well spoken.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Very, very, very English, which I think is a clever idea. Not mine!
0:32:49 > 0:32:53But the producer's, that he should be very English.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Listen, we're about to have music.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58But very quickly, it is Oscars weekend this weekend.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02And, Ian, would you mind telling us the story about when you were
0:33:02 > 0:33:05nominated for Gandalf...?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Oh, yes.- And you had the beads, yes.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Aw!
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Well, they weren't beads.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17In New Zealand, where we filmed Lord of the Rings...
0:33:17 > 0:33:19AUDIENCE WHOOP
0:33:19 > 0:33:21CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:33:21 > 0:33:25If you're lucky, when you leave, you're given a piece of green stone,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28carved, and you wear it often enough and your chances are that
0:33:28 > 0:33:31you'll get back to New Zealand. That's the idea.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34And it'll bring you a bit of luck.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37So, when those films were nominated for something like 20 Oscars
0:33:37 > 0:33:41on that night, everybody from New Zealand was wearing their
0:33:41 > 0:33:44green stone, their Pounamu, they're called.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47And when we're on the red carpet, going in to the ceremony,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49I met Maggie Smith.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- AS MAGGIE:- Hello, what are you here for?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54LAUGHTER
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I said, "Well, Lord of the Rings."
0:33:58 > 0:34:00"Oh, yes," she said. "What's that round your neck?"
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I said, "It's my Pounamu, Maggie."
0:34:03 > 0:34:05"Oh, your Pounamu. What's that for?"
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I said, "Well, if I wear it, it'll bring me luck."
0:34:08 > 0:34:10"Oh, very nice."
0:34:11 > 0:34:14At we went our separate ways and it lasts for three and a half
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- or four hours. You know, don't you?- Oh, yeah.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18God, you sit there and sit there.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21And at the end, of course, everyone else wins the Oscar apart from you.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23And a bit dejected, you're coming out,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26looking forward to a drink and you bump into Maggie Smith
0:34:26 > 0:34:27and she points at you and she says,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29"Didn't work, did it?"
0:34:29 > 0:34:33LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:34:37 > 0:34:40OK, it is time for music. Since his breakthrough single
0:34:40 > 0:34:42You're Beautiful went straight to number one,
0:34:42 > 0:34:46he's sold over 20 million albums worldwide.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Performing his new single, Love Me Better, it's James Blunt, everybody!
0:34:50 > 0:34:53CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:35:04 > 0:35:06# People say the meanest things
0:35:09 > 0:35:11# Yeah, I've been called a dick
0:35:11 > 0:35:14# I've been called so many things
0:35:14 > 0:35:19# And I know I've done some shit that I admit deserves it but that
0:35:19 > 0:35:22# That don't mean it doesn't sting
0:35:25 > 0:35:28# Saw you standing outside a bar
0:35:30 > 0:35:34# Would have said you're beautiful but I've used that line before
0:35:35 > 0:35:38# Now I've had my share of shallow nights
0:35:38 > 0:35:41# Cos I was scared to get it right
0:35:41 > 0:35:44# So I was hanging with whoever
0:35:44 > 0:35:46# But, baby, then you
0:35:46 > 0:35:51# You love, love, love me, love me better
0:35:51 > 0:35:56# You love, love, love me, love me better
0:35:56 > 0:35:58# There've been times I gave myself
0:35:58 > 0:36:02# To someone else, to someone lesser than you
0:36:02 > 0:36:06# Love, love, love me, love me better
0:36:11 > 0:36:13# Love me
0:36:16 > 0:36:18# Love me better
0:36:22 > 0:36:23# Love me
0:36:29 > 0:36:31# When I met you I was treading water
0:36:34 > 0:36:39# And, baby, I know you know I got an eye that wanders
0:36:39 > 0:36:44# But right now in this car that we're driving to your sister's
0:36:44 > 0:36:49# All I'm lookin' for is something that's forever
0:36:49 > 0:36:50# But, baby, then you
0:36:50 > 0:36:54# You love, love, love me, love me better
0:36:54 > 0:36:59# You love, love, love me, love me better
0:36:59 > 0:37:03# There've been people that I've loved before
0:37:03 > 0:37:06# But they were something lesser, cos you
0:37:06 > 0:37:10# Love, love, love me, love me better
0:37:15 > 0:37:17# Love me
0:37:20 > 0:37:22# Love me better
0:37:26 > 0:37:27# Love me
0:37:31 > 0:37:33# Love me better
0:37:33 > 0:37:36# People say the meanest things
0:37:39 > 0:37:42# Yeah, but truth be told, I don't care what they think
0:37:43 > 0:37:48# I got someone who is lying in my bed right next to me
0:37:48 > 0:37:51# Yeah, she love, love, loves me
0:37:51 > 0:37:55# Love, love, loves me
0:37:55 > 0:37:56# Loves me better
0:38:01 > 0:38:02# Loves me
0:38:06 > 0:38:07# Loves me better
0:38:12 > 0:38:13# Loves me
0:38:16 > 0:38:17# Loves me better
0:38:17 > 0:38:20# There's been times I gave myself

0:38:23 > 0:38:26# Love, love, love me
0:38:26 > 0:38:29# Love me better. #
0:38:29 > 0:38:31CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:38:33 > 0:38:36James Blunt, everybody! Great job!
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Well done, sir, lovely to see you.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Come in, say hello to everybody.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Patrick, Ian, Hugh.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Nice to see you.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- How are you?- Awesome.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- There you go. Have a seat, do.- Thank you so much.- Yeah, well done, you.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56And that's off your new album, The Afterlove,
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- which is released on the 24th of March.- Yes, thank you for the plug.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Well, you know, that's why you're here.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08So, that song is about kind of some of the hate
0:39:08 > 0:39:10you've received over the years.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Yeah, it's a little bit about how deeply unpopular I am,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16but it doesn't matter, because my wife loves me.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- AUDIENCE:- Awww!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- But also...- Don't say "awww" for me, say "awww" for her, poor girl!
0:39:21 > 0:39:24No, but you have turned it into a strength,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- the way that people are rude about you.- Yeah, I mess around, don't I?
0:39:27 > 0:39:32- I mess around online, on Twitter, abusing myself before people...- Yes.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Have you guys...? Do you follow him on Twitter?- No.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39You should, he's very good. We've got some examples of James's tweets.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48APPLAUSE
0:39:58 > 0:39:59I like this one.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Do you know what that means? - No, I have no idea.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17This is so weird.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Very good!
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- APPLAUSE - Thank you.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Now, Hugh Jackman...- Yes.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40You share something with James Blunt
0:40:40 > 0:40:41in that you have both done
0:40:41 > 0:40:44one of the most difficult jobs in showbusiness -
0:40:44 > 0:40:49you have both performed at an Australian sporting event.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Oh, wow! Oh, yes, you did...
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- Was it the AFL Grand Final? - I did the State of Origin.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- The State of Origin! That's... - What's that?
0:40:57 > 0:41:03Which is 40,000 Aussie, drunk Aussie men, very, very aggressive,
0:41:03 > 0:41:09macho men and for the mid-game entertainment,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11some guy, some comedian booked James Blunt
0:41:11 > 0:41:14to sing to 40,000 people You're Beautiful.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16# You're beautiful... #
0:41:17 > 0:41:22- How did it go, James? - I'm still alive, but only just.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26- Did it turn ugly?- I wore the kind of home team's top, just to...
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- Well done.- Just to try and, yeah, which I think was like a shield.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Cos which one did you do, Hugh?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35I did the Bledisloe Cup so Australia-New Zealand at rugby,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37that was the first thing I did, yeah,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40singing the national anthem and I did the Rugby League Grand Final,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42but both terrifying, absolutely...
0:41:42 > 0:41:43I remember the...
0:41:43 > 0:41:47I remember being introduced at the Bledisloe Cup
0:41:47 > 0:41:49as "a star of stage and screen".
0:41:49 > 0:41:52I'd done one stage show and one TV show at the time.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57"Ladies and gentlemen, star of stage and screen, Mr Hugh Jackman!" Boo!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00I realised I was stood in front of the Great Southern Stand
0:42:00 > 0:42:02with 30,000 New Zealanders booing me
0:42:02 > 0:42:05and the Australian captain standing next to me goes,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07"You better bloody show 'em, mate."
0:42:07 > 0:42:09No pressure! Anyway, yeah.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11But you went for it.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12I so went for it, it's...
0:42:12 > 0:42:17If you ever see the tape of it, I finish singing.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21I'm still singing and they cut off, the tape finishes,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23they cut off the microphone and I was like...
0:42:23 > 0:42:25HE MOUTHS
0:42:25 > 0:42:28And I'm still singing. I've never been more nervous in my life.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30You're right, an Australian crowd, if you do...
0:42:30 > 0:42:32They take it very seriously.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Meatloaf isn't allowed back in the country
0:42:33 > 0:42:35after his performance.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36I have to ask, Ian,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39have you ever sung before a national sporting event?
0:42:41 > 0:42:42Not yet, I haven't, no.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Sign him up!
0:42:45 > 0:42:50I did perform in front of 50,000 people
0:42:50 > 0:42:55at the Gay Games in New York.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Did you sing?- But I didn't sing, no.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00I had a very good line.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04I said, "My name's Sir Ian McKellen, but you can call me Sir-Ian-a!"
0:43:07 > 0:43:08That went down very well.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12- Do you think that would go down in Australia...?- Yes.- Oh, sure!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Oh, yes!- Give it a whirl!
0:43:14 > 0:43:18I mean, all Australian men are gay, aren't they?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21There's always a little bit of ting of gay about them.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26This is a minefield.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29James Blunt, are you going on tour?
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Ah, yes!
0:43:33 > 0:43:35You can all thank me later.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40I'm going on tour round the UK in November.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Tickets are on sale now, Graham, but I'll get you a freebie.
0:43:43 > 0:43:44Aww, that's very good of you!
0:43:44 > 0:43:47And can we just say, James Blunt working on his birthday.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Happy birthday, James Blunt!
0:43:49 > 0:43:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:53 > 0:43:57- ALL SING:- # Happy birthday to you

0:44:07 > 0:44:11The harmonies! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:44:12 > 0:44:16Very good! That's nearly it for tonight.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Before we go, just time for a visit to the Big Red Chair. Who's there?
0:44:19 > 0:44:23- Hello!- Hi, what's your name?- Jenny. - Lovely. And what do you do, Jenny?
0:44:23 > 0:44:26I'm a wildlife veterinarian.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Well, now, we've never had one of those on the show before.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32So, do you just go and look for sick animals?
0:44:33 > 0:44:34Yes, OK.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36That's Jenny. She's great with animals,
0:44:36 > 0:44:38she's very good with animals. They love her.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- Where are you based? - At the moment, at London Zoo.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Oh, right, so they're quite easy to catch there.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48Not so hard!
0:44:51 > 0:44:53"I wonder if I'll see any animals today."
0:44:56 > 0:44:58All right, Jenny, off you go with your story.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I'd just started working
0:45:00 > 0:45:02at a chimpanzee sanctuary in Sierra Leone.
0:45:02 > 0:45:07And an old hand was showing me around and introduced me to Chippie,
0:45:07 > 0:45:10a young male chimp, and she said,
0:45:10 > 0:45:13"Chippie loves rubber boots, wellies,"
0:45:13 > 0:45:17and I was wearing some beautiful flowered wellies that very day
0:45:17 > 0:45:20so I kind of put them towards the cage
0:45:20 > 0:45:23and an expression of delight came on Chippie's face
0:45:23 > 0:45:29and he rushed over and I was like, "He really does like wellies!"
0:45:29 > 0:45:32And he crouched down and immediately started
0:45:32 > 0:45:34masturbating himself on the sole of my wellies.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37I'm going to flip her!
0:45:39 > 0:45:41It was in!
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Everything about that story was hilarious.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Chippie the chimp - really,
0:45:50 > 0:45:52you're running a sanctuary
0:45:52 > 0:45:54and that's all you can come up with? Chippie?
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Is it the only one you've got?
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- OK, we have one more. One more, here we go. Hello!- Hi!
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Hi, what's your name?
0:46:02 > 0:46:03- SLIGHT LISP:- Fliss.- Fliss?
0:46:03 > 0:46:04Yeah, terrible name with a lisp.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06No...
0:46:08 > 0:46:11- Great opening(!) - Fliss is your actual name?
0:46:11 > 0:46:15- Well, Felicity.- OK, but you went with Fliss, OK.
0:46:15 > 0:46:16All right, Fliss, off you go with your story.
0:46:16 > 0:46:21So, me and my sister were driving to Scotland and I needed the toilet
0:46:21 > 0:46:23so we stopped at a service station.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I ran in, I went into the first cubicle
0:46:25 > 0:46:29and there was a massive big floating shit in the toilet.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Patrick's right here!
0:46:31 > 0:46:32I'm so sorry!
0:46:34 > 0:46:36- Anyway, I left...- I remember you!
0:46:38 > 0:46:40From that angle.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44But, yes, I walked straight out and went into the next cubicle
0:46:44 > 0:46:46and went for a wee and then I stood washing my hands
0:46:46 > 0:46:48and a lady walked in when I was washing my hands,
0:46:48 > 0:46:51I caught her eye in the reflection
0:46:51 > 0:46:52and she walked into the first cubicle,
0:46:52 > 0:46:55obviously saw the big shit, Patrick, in the toilet...
0:46:55 > 0:46:57- Oh, dear.- Patrick!
0:46:57 > 0:47:00And then walked out so I just casually went up to her, like,
0:47:00 > 0:47:04"Oh, I did that," meaning I had walked in and walked out, but...
0:47:06 > 0:47:10I did not... Like, really proud...
0:47:10 > 0:47:13- That was a good story!- Good story! - You can walk, well done.
