The Graham Norton Show

Matt LeBlanc talks about the longevity of Friends; Rebel Wilson talks about performing on the high wire; Kit Harington says he's been mistaken for a Hobbit; and Mumford & Sons perform live in the studio.

Matt LeBlanc, asked whether he has to be careful that his on-screen Matt LeBlanc persona in Episodes doesn't get confused with real life, says, "We have to be careful because the lines can get blurred. In one episode my character goes to his ex-wife's house drunk and demanded to see his children.

"When she refused I shouted an obscenity at her. Before it aired I felt I should call my real ex-wife and preface it. So I call her and tell her what happens in the show and then say, 'It's not a dig a you in any way, shape or form, I don't feel that way about you, it's just a joke, it's nothing to do with you.' And she said (in a dismissive tone), 'I don't watch your show.'"

Asked about the longevity of Friends, he says, "It's always on somewhere so there is a new crop of teenagers finding it for the first time." Jokingly adding, "They say, 'What's with the grey hair? Are you Joey's dad?"

With only a little cajoling, a word perfect Matt happily reprises Joey's song from 'Freud' the musical and the hand double song he performed in another episode of Friends.

Rebel Wilson, asked if she was aware of Matt's work, confesses, "I've never seen Friends, but it one of those things. I've never slept with Channing Tatum but eventually it's going to happen!"

Showing off her varied talents, Rebel demonstrates her Nunchuck skills and her singing, admitting, "I learnt to sing a capella performing at funerals."

Talking about her new film Pitch Perfect 2, in which she makes her entrance on a high wire, she says, "It was only 40 seconds of the movie but I trained for five weeks for it. Looking at me you wouldn't think I have any natural aerial acrobatic abilities... and I don't! And I'm deathly afraid of heights. But if I couldn't do it there was no stunt double my size and it couldn't be the opening of the movie so I thought, 'I'll have to do it for comedy even if I die!'"

Rebel reveals that Prince William and Kate request a private screening of the movie, "I think they watched it in their castle."

Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington, talking about his own brush with royalty, says, "The Queen visited the set and we kept asking her to sit on the thrown and we kept getting told the same thing which was, 'She's not allowed to sit on other thrones, fictional or otherwise.'"

Admitting he is a huge Friends fan, Kit says, "I learnt a lot of my acting skills from Joey, including his 'smelt a fart face.'"

Kit, talking about the confusion some people have with the films and show in the same genre as Game Of Thrones says "I was in a bar and was introduced to some girls by my friend as his famous actor friend. I thought it was great but as I walked to the bar I heard one of the girls say, 'The thing is, I've never watched Lord Of The Rings.' Obviously I look like a Hobbit no matter what I do!"

Revealing his mother doesn't much like the show, he says, "She stopped watching after Series 1 when some guy's arm got ripped off his body and she rang me and said, 'No, it's too much, I'm not doing any more.' She decided to pick it up again later on but chose the wrong episode. It was when I was having my love scene in a cave. So I had a second call and she said, 'No Darling, no more.'"

Asked why he has a northern accent in the series, he says, "I auditioned in my normal voice but when Sean Bean (his character's father) was asked if he could do an RP accent he said 'No' so I had to be northern. I watched all his O2 adverts back to back to learn the accent."

Talking about his new film Spooks: The Greater Good, and the problems of not closing roads while filming in London, he says, "I was doing a scene and they called 'cut' which was odd as it was going so well but then I looked behind me and a bus goes past with my face on it. I had a movie coming out called Pompeii and there I am in a gladiator outfit and all bare-chested and 10 foot high on a bus. It was funny the first two times!"

Mumford & Sons performs The Wolf live in the studio before Marcus Mumford and Winston Marshall join Graham for a chat.
