The brand new series of The Graham Norton Show premieres on BBC
Entertainment on DStv channel 120 on April 23.
On his first show of the new series, Graham
welcomes Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise, Tom’s co-star Olga Kurylenko, Scottish
heartthrob Gerard Butler and American rock band Paramore. The show kicks off
with an unexpected surprise for Graham as Tom presents him with a 50th birthday
present – a Mariachi band performing Happy
Birthday and, as an added bonus, the song made famous by Tom in Top Gun, You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.
Confirming there will be a fifth Mission Impossible film, Tom says, I am
working on the story.” Asked if it is physically harder making the movies now
than when he first started, he says, “Not yet. Nothing is falling off yet,” and
referring to being 30 when the first movie came out, 50 year old Tom says, “I
still feel as good.”
Gerard talks about doing his own stunts,
revealing, “It’s dangerous. People don’t realise. I love to sing, which has
nothing to do with stunts, but last year I noticed I couldn’t hit my high notes
and had to have an MRI and the radiologist said, ‘what have you been up
to? You’ve broken two bones in your neck.’ I’d just finished eight
different fight sequences for days at a time.”
Paramore performs Still Into You live in the studio before joining Graham for a chat.
Tom delights an unsuspecting fan with a
special mobile phone call and then helps Graham pulls the lever on more
foolhardy members of the audience brave enough to sit in the red chair.
Next week (April 30 at 21h00) Graham’s
guests include Michael Bublé, Amanda Holden and Jack Dee.
