The Cast Of The Sheep Detectives On The Graham Norton Show 🐑

0:00 Hugh Jackman, your dad did something so sweet.

0:02 Do you know what I'm talking about?

0:03 I do know what you're talking about.

0:04 My dad was always supportive.

0:06 We went growing up always to the theater, every show.

0:10 My standing, my gift every year for my birthday was

0:12 a subscription to the Sydney Theatre Company so that I could go.

0:15 He bought the cheapest one possible.

0:17 So I had to go

0:20 [laughter] Wednesday matinee and skip class just so I could do it,

0:21 but Dad made sure I saw everything.

0:24 And I remember once in my career, Dad saw everything I did,

0:27 was always too effusive when he came back,

0:30 even the stuff that he had no interest in.

0:32 And I could tell he didn't like it.

0:34 He'd be like, "Wonderful work, Hugh.

0:35 Wonderful." [laughter] And one time I was

0:37 offered to do Carousel at Carnegie Hall.

0:41 And I just I told Dad, "I'm doing this thing." He goes,

0:43 "I'm coming." I I'm cuz for my dad, Carousel, that's his jam.

0:48 So my dad never missed a day work in his life.

0:50 He worked at Price Waterhouse his entire working life.

0:53 And he took 3 days off to come to New York to see me in Carousel.

0:58 Now, when I say 3 days, that's 24-hour flight from Sydney to New York.

1:02 He was in New York for less than 24 hours,

1:05 then a 24-hour flight back straight to the office.

1:07 Wow.

1:08 And so he was on his way over.

1:10 And my dad, itineraries, accountant, classic accountant.

1:14 What's the dress code?

1:15 What time is it?

1:15 What is And I said, "It's black tie, Dad.

1:17 It's Carnegie Hall." Well, on the day of, I found out it wasn't black tie.

1:22 It was business casual.

1:24 And I pictured my dad just arriving with like

1:27 whatever he's wearing on the plane with the black tie.

1:30 So I rang him.

1:31 He was he was he just got to the hotel.

1:33 I'm rehearsing.

1:34 We're on in like 8 hours.

1:35 I said, "Dad, I'm so sorry.

1:36 It's not" He goes, "Don't worry.

1:38 I'll get it sorted.

1:39 Everything's okay." And I said, "Fine." He said, "But do me a favor, Hugh.

1:43 I would love to come and pick you up at your hotel

1:46 room and walk you to the stage door before the performance." Stop.

1:49 And I said, "Sure." And my dad never asked for stuff like that.

1:52 And so I said, "Sure." I said, "Well, meet me at 6:00.

1:55 The show's at 8:00.

1:55 I'm going to walk over, get there about 6:15." And so 6:00 on the dot,

1:59 there's a knock on the door.

2:01 Open it up, and there's my father standing in full black tie.

2:05 And I'm like, "No, no, no, no, Dad.

2:07 I'm [laughter] so serious.

2:09 Only the choir are wearing black tie.

2:11 No one else." And he's And he looked me straight in the eye and he said,

2:14 "Hugh, my son is singing at Carnegie Hall.

2:17 It is black tie for me." Aw.

2:19 That's so beautiful.

2:22 You were both in I think is it your favorite Christmas movie of all time?

2:26 Love Actually.

2:27 What a What a What a gem.

2:30 [cheering] I was rewatching it last night,

2:31 and that's a sort of complicated ethically story line, you know?

2:34 Cuz cuz you guys resolved the dispute quite easily.

2:37 Well, do you think?

2:38 I don't think so.

2:39 I think that when he gets off that plane, Alan Rickman, God bless him,

2:43 playing my husband, I think you just don't

2:45 know You know it'll never be the same again.

2:48 Mhm.

3:02 It's trying [laughter] to remember the story.

3:05 You were in Selfridges.

3:06 Yes.

3:07 Because I was in Selfridges all night with Alan Rickman.

3:10 We were.

3:10 We were.

3:10 We were all there in Selfridges.

3:12 And And Alan Rickman, God bless him, was pretty annoyed about He He He didn't

3:16 really want to be up all night, you know?

3:18 Because we had to shoot during the night because

3:20 they didn't allow us to shoot during the day.

3:21 So we had to pretend it was day.

3:23 And And And he was he was in he was fairly short-tempered.

3:41 to, but but I have I don't know why you brought this up,

3:44 but I did hear you discuss you had

3:47 an extraordinary disagreement with your wife about yourself.

4:18 And she said She said, "You're not circumcised." [laughter]

4:24 I said, "What do you mean?

4:26 You've only known me a few All my life." I remember my mother telling me why,

4:30 because it was fashionable at the time.

4:32 She said, "You're not circumcised." I said, "That's ridiculous.

4:36 I should know if I'm circumcised.

4:40 [laughter] End of conversation.

4:41 But the next day, I happened to be seeing my doctor

4:47 [laughter]

4:47 Are you okay?

4:52 [laughter] I was seeing my doctor for my annual physical.

4:55 Of course.

4:57 So while he was down THERE I SAID, "EXCUSE ME, DOC.

7:55 and just generally speech in general.

7:57 Um but I think we're This is 40 years ago now,

8:01 and I think the thing was, "If you have an accent, you be proud of your accent,

8:06 but this tool of RP is useful to have."

8:12 It was, you know, "Celebrate who you are and how you speak,

9:57 I know exactly I know if it landed here what you do

10:00 is you go oh get it over here cuz you put it there

10:03 and you go because the fly feels the pressure of the air coming

10:08 from either side so you trick it and you get it every time.

10:13 Clever murder.

10:18 [applause] [applause]

10:23 That fly has no idea what danger it's in right now.

12:12 [laughter] THAT WAS SURPRISING.

12:14 I'M NOT GOING TO LIE THAT WAS SURPRISING.

12:18 [laughter] [gasps] BUT YOU DIDN'T SWALLOW ANY OF IT.

12:21 IT'S ALL still there.

12:22 That's why I'm A GOOD GIRL.

12:35 HUGH JACKMAN PLAYS THE BADDIE.

12:38 YEAH.

12:38 You do know that.

12:40 I'm in a I'm in a pantomime at the moment.

12:43 Yeah.

12:45 [laughter] He's behind you David.

12:50 [laughter] IS HE born born for IT?

12:51 IS THAT WHY YOU WANTED to do it?

12:53 I I first wanted to do it for Neill.

12:55 Neill Blomkamp who did District 9 and Elysium is he's a visionary.

12:58 He's a maverick.

12:59 He's a great filmmaker.

13:00 And then he said my character is going to have a mullet and I said I'm in.

13:04 I mean who doesn't want to have a mullet

13:06 as a bad guy but playing the bad guy is great.

13:09 I don't get asked to do it a lot but I spent all this time kind of doing heroes.

13:14 The hero sucks.

13:16 You get beaten up the entire movie.

13:18 And then you kind of get yourself up and at the very

13:21 end you win the final battle being beaten up a lot.

13:25 The villain gets the best dialogue, wins every fight except the last one.

13:29 That's okay.

13:31 Much easier ride.

13:31 It's great.

13:32 And it's nice to hear you being

13:33 Australian and using all your Australian expressions.

13:36 rare for me.

13:37 I actually embarrassingly I had to go on Google to search

13:41 Aussie slang cuz he said mate I need you more Australian.

13:43 I'm like what do you mean more Australian?

13:44 He goes cuz he'd written lines like I'm mad as a frog in a sock.

13:48 Right?

13:49 I've never heard anyone say that.

13:51 He goes no here it is on Google.

13:53 So I'm Googling Aussie slang.

13:55 So it's you're smart as a dunny rat.

13:56 Smart as a dunny rat.

13:57 There it is.

13:58 Google.

13:58 Thank you very much.

14:00 How to write a script.

14:01 Just Google it but anyway yeah.

14:03 Hey now listen.

14:04 Emma Thompson congratulations cuz recently what

14:07 an honor cuz anyone I think you just

14:09 buy the star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame but you got the real deal.

14:13 You got the handprints.

14:14 the handprints.

14:15 in the Chinese Theater.

14:16 Actually it's more an opportunity for blackmail that in my view.

14:21 It's weird.

14:21 They get you to dress up then they present you with a square

14:25 lot of wet cement and invite you to stick body parts into it.

14:27 Don't you think that's eccentric?

14:29 I I look at you there and I kind of think you're on all fours.

14:34 It seems like quite a solid steady position.

14:38 I have found it so IN THE PAST.

14:48 AND YET THIS HAPPENED.

14:53 I FALL OVER LIKE WHEN I WAS DOING I WAS DOING a tap pole because

14:56 I was mucking about as usual and because the press always suck any iota of joy,

15:02 life, humor or hope [laughter] out of those moments and they said oh

15:05 she's actually fallen over when they knew fine well I was just doing it.

15:08 Oh my god I'm so you know what I'm like.

15:10 Yes.

15:11 Cuz you're not a big fan of LA.

15:13 You don't like spending that much time there.

15:15 Well I mean I like LA cuz I've got got I've

15:17 got really good friends there but it's a funny old place.

15:21 It's it's just a strange place and as soon as you get

15:24 there you think oh my god my bum looks big in this.

15:27 This is the problem with meaning LA.

15:29 You know.

15:30 It's true isn't it?

15:31 This is the problem because I've lived there for a long time and they say

15:35 if you sit in a barber shop long enough you're going to get a haircut.

15:39 Well if you live in Los Angeles long enough you're going to get some surgery.

15:43 It's the I've had a thatch done.

15:44 I'll tell everybody now.

15:46 I didn't even need it.

15:48 That's the weirdest thing.

15:50 It was like I I had like 3 months off.

15:52 I got bored.

15:53 And I was like oh it's a well I'll go in.

15:59 SO IS THAT NEW HAIR?

16:01 NO NO NO I just got some round the side done.

16:03 You got the color wrong in the front.

16:06 I got some round the side done and I actually didn't need it.

16:10 But that's what I'm saying about Los Angeles.

16:13 they're very conscious of how everybody looks

16:16 and there's also a real hierarchy as well

16:18 you know so there's the star system thing

16:20 which we don't really have here thank goodness.

16:23 I don't like that.

16:25 So they'll always find a way of making you feel bad.

16:27 You know there's always some VIP enclosure that you're not in.

16:30 that you're not in.

16:31 But you think you're in a important bit

16:33 and then you find that you're not in the most

16:35 important bit or your ticket is green when

16:37 it actually the really important ticket is pink.

16:39 They find a ways of making you feel less than or more than all the time.

16:44 I don't really approve of that.

16:46 Yeah that's as miserable.

16:47 The amount of times I've turned up to places

16:49 and the look on people's faces they realize I'm not Robin Williams.

16:56 So the I now I'm so used to I'm going like Robin Williams right?

17:01 No sorry it's me.

17:04 [laughter] See it was all the time.

17:05 Because the guys are talking about this movie

17:07 Logan which is part of the X-Men franchise.

17:09 of it to tell you the truth.

17:11 How come you're not in it?

17:15 [clears throat] Do you know I think when you get to my age

17:17 you want to leave aside those tired old franchises.

17:21 [laughter] You know move ON TO SOMETHING FRESH.

17:27 [laughter] I I HAVE TO TELL YOU I CRIED I I SIMPLY DON'T KNOW

17:33 HOW I don't I I I don't know why I'm not in it darling.

17:38 [laughter] Um when Could you not could you not do another one?

17:44 [laughter] They they this one matters.

17:47 IT'S TIME YOU DIED.

17:54 SO ACTUALLY YOU DID DIE IN ONE OF the movies.

17:57 Oh yeah.

17:57 I was vaporized by But he's resurrected.

18:00 Yeah but that's nothing.

18:01 It's only it was only at the level of DNA that he was vaporized.

18:04 I mean of course I can come back together.

18:06 Come on.

18:07 Yeah.

18:07 Yeah.

18:08 I remember can I just say because I wanted

18:10 to say thank you to you all these years.

18:12 I'm sure I have.

18:13 I hope I have.

18:14 I was very nervous on that first film.

18:16 I started 3 weeks in.

18:17 It was my first movie and there was a lot going on and there was a lot

18:22 of people and I remember you pulling me aside

18:24 and saying this at times is going to feel uncomfortable.

18:27 It's going to feel overwhelming but you're

18:29 in good hands and everything's going to be okay.

18:31 And you both of you were such heroes of mine.

18:34 I was a little starstruck but you it was the first day I

18:36 met you and you saying that to me I never ever forgot it.

18:39 Don't think I was in LOVE WITH YOU.

18:42 [laughter]

18:45 NO NO THAT'S I MEAN I I I'D SEEN YOU AT THE NATIONAL Theatre in a musical.

18:49 What what was it?

18:50 It was Oklahoma.

18:51 I took your dressing room straight after you.

18:53 Did you?

18:54 I took a photo.

18:56 [laughter] I don't know that it was you.

19:02 I wouldn't [laughter] [applause]

19:07 This is a very saucy show isn't It certainly is.
