Jonathan Ross continues the new 15-week season of his award-winning chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross tonight on 大象传媒 ONE.
听
Tonight Jonathan meets iconic French actress Catherine Deneuve, in town to promote her new book of diaries, Close Up and Personal.
听
Her great friend Gerard Depardieu made a memorable appearance on the show last week.
听
"I like him very much - he's a lovely man," she says. "What I like about Gerard is his feminine side, and he likes the masculine side in me."
听
She talks about the drawbacks of being a great beauty: "It can be a frustration because people expect you to be beautiful and more than that, so you're always on the edge of thinking you're going to disappoint them."
听
Of her current movie hero, Quentin Tarantino, she says: "I think he's a very talented director. If he asked me [to work with him] I would say yes, but I'm not sure if he's keen to use women in his films."
听
Jonathan is also joined by the UK's hottest comedienne, Catherine Tate, who reveals: "I was asked to do I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. I thought 'Sh*t, I thought things were going quite well!' Obviously, the reason I can't do it is that I'm too sensitive to the sun."
听
Discussing the inspiration behind her comedic creations, she says: "The woman who screams at everything. that's my mum: [she behaves] as if she's never lived in modern society."
听
She says that her partner doesn't really follow her career: "I don't discuss it much at home. He knows what I do, but I'm quite reticent about it. I always say to him, 'Don't ask me questions, because you won't like the answers!'"
听
And Jonathan gets a dance lesson from Latino superstar and Unicef ambassador Ricky Martin, back with his first English language album after five years: "I went back home for a little while, built a studio, started my foundation [People for Children]."
听
He talks about what he loves about music, and how he handles fame: "We work for the acceptance of the audience and the applause; it's so addictive.
听
"I'm very happy. I do music now because I want to. politicians create the boundaries, we in the music business get rid of them."
听
And there's music from Simple Minds, performing Stay Visible from their new album Black & White 050505 live in the studio.
