Graham Norton goes behind scenes at Oscars with Orlando Bloom and Samantha Morton
Graham Norton continues the first season of his new prime-time series tonight on 大象传媒 Two when he gets the lowdown on the film world from two of the UK's most successful and provocative young acting talents - Orlando Bloom and Samantha Morton.
听
Heart-throb actor Orlando Bloom has just flown to the UK back from this year's Oscars.
听
He talks about the perils of publicity and the party circuit there: "Iit's annoying because it kills the romance and the moment of meeting someone... and everyone wants to know about it, the magic's gone."
听
On travelling with Pirates Of The Caribbean co-star Johnny Depp: "We were on a private plane and he had a lot of very good red wine - by the time we got to the other end we were stumbling off; it was very wrong."
听
And the antics of Keith Richards on the set of the new movie: "They called him the first morning at 6am and left him to hang around for five hours - he was out of it, and that was the end of that day - and it's $1m a day!"
听
Samantha - Oscar-nominated for Best Actress in 2000 and again in 2004 - talks about the reality of being up for the award.
听
"It was a fluke... you have to campaign really hard for it... [but] in America they didn't like me, I wasn't famous enough," she says.
听
And she reveals her less-than-glamorous experiences at the ceremony: "The first time I lost my ticket and they wouldn't let me in. I was sitting in a really obscure place, shoved in a corner... my daughter was six weeks old, I was breast-feeding, I had this great suit but I couldn't get it on... my daughter had her own trailer."
听
She also reveals that she lost the priceless jewellery she was loaned for the awards while at Sean Penn's house.
听
"I wanted to get hammered so I phoned Sean Penn, nipped round, got bladdered, woke up the next day with the hangover from hell and thought where are they [earrings]? I found them again a week later in San Francisco."
