It's funny having watched an interview with Graham where he was asked how to get the best out of interviewees where he referenced this episode specifically, saying something along the lines of "Kevin Costner isn't interested in impressing me, but he's interested in impressing Helen Mirren." And that's how a great interviewer works.
As Ricky put it: "If this were America we'd be disguised as wolves dancing around...or doing some other shit" That's probably why you won't see Costner on those shows. Or at least not very often.
Yes! Also, I love when he reveals that his friend wrote dances with wolves that all of them are like: wow! that's amazing. Look at Ricky sitting at the tip of the couch really listening.
I love how Kevin can make a comedian like Ricky Gervais laugh out loud. I wish to see the two of them together in a movie or maybe in another chat show and they’d just make the audience laugh.
@@archieleach6071 more impressively than that is Kevin can capture his attention and keep him utterly silent. I adore Ricky and love to see a hero of mine genuinely interested in another person’s work and story, it tells you a lot about them.
Kevin is a great storyteller. Gervais is a great counterweight to all the Hollywood heavyweights. Dame Miren is so elegant and lovely. Hearing Bana speak reveals his awesome acting talent with accents. Ewan is a super charming guy. This talk show format is the best in the world. No pre-packaged artifice like you see on American talk shows.
I'm Aussie and remember Eric Bana well from his days as a comic on Australian T.V and what a funny bloke. I lived in the U.K during the 70's and remember well the comics of the time eg the 2 ronnies and many others and IMHO Ricky Gervaise is 1 of the best of the next generations of British/English comics.
It gave me a much greater appreciation of Kevin Costner. Awesome to see how they were all hanging on his lips. I know for a fact he really impressed Ricky Gervais which isn't an easy thing to do.
This is what a talk show should be like in America! Absolutely brilliant combination of hosts and stories. Kevin Costner’s story about the story/script for Dances with Wolves was epic.
While I adore all of Graham Norton's shows this has to be one of my all time favorites because Kevin Costner was magnificent. I could have just listened to him telling stories for hours. And with Ricky, Ewan, Helen and Eric on the sofa made it even more special. It was just a fantastic show from beginning to end. I wish this had been a 2 hour special. Hopefully Graham will have Kevin Costner back again.
Kevin Costner is one of those Hollywood actors that is just so down to Earth, he is not full of himself, and he is, to me, a role model for people like Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is someone who is genuine, and genuinely interested in people more than his Hollywood personae. People like Keanu, and Kevin Costner, while worthwhile actors, are more content on being behind the scenes, rather than in the limelight. Kevin and Keanu are two actors that I admire.
Kevin Costner. So humble. So much honesty. So much humor. So much class. What a storyteller. We, along with those on the couch and in the audience, were all spellbound as he wove his stories from a life truly lived. What a gift. And I don’t care what anyone says, I will always love Waterworld.
Exactly. I first saw him in Die Hard and that amazing voice struck a chord forever after. I'm so glad he had such a successful career. Such a great loss to the world of entertainment.😪
@@kfbell11 You obviously did not notice that Graham had his pic on the screen because he was in Dame Helen's latest movie! Alan was their topic for discussion for several minutes!
@@gideonharris1493 Yes, his voice was specia. I only need to think of him and I can hear his voive in my head. I especially loved him as Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility.
This was definitely one of the best ones ever. What struck me was the picture in my mind of Kevin Costner already nervous, directing his crew on day one with his mum and dad sitting on a nearby hill watching and waving at him. He actually has a sense of humor though obviously quite shy. Also Clint Eastwood was quite early directing his own movies.
I can watch Kevin Costner for hours. He is still so dreamy. I think even Ricky was crushing on him a bit. Kevin is just a nice all around guy. Love his movies.
I think one of the reasons Ricky Gervais is so likeable apart from his great humor is that he laughs so much of other people's jokes as well. Random example: 48:00
Hearing about Hawkings wanting to know about Whitney - one of the greatest scientists wanting to know about one of the greatest singers - that was cool :)
@Margaret Gust That's the whole point of his humour. It's meant to be dry and harsh, and it IS a conversation, not just a story. If there was no back and forth, the show wouldn't be anywhere near as funny.
Caroline Lowe ... Three words, Nasty comment...and you even had to edit it. My word, so you’re a mean spirited person who has trouble putting 3 words in the correct order. Look at yourself in the mirror, do you see a mean person? Because that’s how you’re portraying yourself. What’s the point in saying what you did? Explain it because I really would like to know. The world is full of mean types, I usually ignore them, just this once I want to know why.
Ricky has a good point in the end, this is how chat shows used to be where they actually had real conversations and not banal chitchats and trying to plug their new movie every 5 seconds...
why does it look like he is looking for clues? his eyes keep darting to the left - that's rather unusual for him, he looks either at his convo partner or in his glass ... *shrug
I heard Ricky Gervais saying that before the show Kevin Costner told him he was nervous and felt uneasy about appearing on the show. Maybe he is not used to this sort of talk shows as they don't have many of that calibre in the US. True. But the moment he goes out there he just flows after a bit of a shaky start. Dances with the wolves is a legend. in a way he was a pioneer as not too many people had done producing and acting a main character at same time...at that time . Now it is a common thing.. I remember when Whitney Houston died him being so genuinely broken and made himself available to all who looked for him to share stories with her and their closeness. And when he had the call from Hawkins and felt starstruck himself and had no clue how to talk to this man. and what to talk about. Hawkins really did show up at Costner's front door and wanted to hear Kevin talk about Whitney. I remember watching on TV in my house in America. Kevin Costner is a legend. Please stop talking sh.. about the man....
Costner's nervousness is understandable. American talk shows aren't anything like Graham's. Guests usually come on one at a time and even when there's more than one guest at once they seldom speak to each other. Also, American talk shows are almost solely vehicles for hyping each guest's latest project. While Graham does that also, it's not the sole focus of the show. Graham seems to really care about getting to know something about his guests. Costner was probably worried about how to handle the differences. But by the end, he seems to have relaxed and gone with the flow. Like Matt Damon said to Graham during his appearance: "This is the most fun I've ever had on a talk show."
I have always admired Kevin Costner and his body of work, but now after seeing this, I have a real genuine man crush on him! What a charismatic brilliant wonderfully surprising beaut bloke with an amazing list of edge of the seat stories! A pure pleasure to watch this - well done all concerned!
Ricky said it well. I love this show because they are just chatting. In US they would have to do some weird shit, weird games, that no one actually knows why are included in US talk shows. That's why I don't like US shows.
Craig Ferguson was excellent though. He made a habit out of ripping apart the cars with questions for the guests at the beginning of the interviews and he barely even asked questions about the movies they were there to plug. He's a very funny man imo
It's funny because I said that very same thing earlier today to explain why I love the GN show over the US shows, and now I see you've said this here already!
I only just caught at 30:19 that Kevin Costner mentions Chopper to Eric Bana... He really does know his movies and the other guests on the couch!! Bravo.
American here, and, I've watched "Chopper" several times on RUclips. You are correct. Took me a moment to understand, but because of Eric, I have watched Full Frontal, and with help from a few Aussie friends I have made on FB, I am now able to follow along quite well. Still learning, though.
that's awesome! other Australian film recommendations (if you haven't seen them yet): Head On, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Muriel's Wedding, The Castle and Cosi... ;)
Cincin will look for it. And, Marcus Chan, Priscilla and Muriel are two favorite movies of mine. I very much want to see The Castle. Thank you, both for your recommendations. 😊
One of my favorite movies of all time is "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves." Hilarious and full of GREAT actors! Alan Rickman, Morgan Freeman & Kevin Costner....A purely musical trio!
@@brianwilson3952 weirdley enough it actually is a great movie! Don't get hung up on the American accent, that's just bruised British ego talking. The story telling is really well done.
@@jwvandegronden IMO, Alan Rickman was the best thing in the movie. Costner looked out of place, Morgan Freeman looked slightly embarrassed. Sean Connery as the king at the end was a terrific twist ending.
I’ve never been a fan of Costner’s, he hasn’t much range. I mean, Robin Hood was supposed to have been from Nottingham in England, not Iowa. Every character I’ve seen him in, it was the same delivery.
It’s a bit more than that, Umair, like cadence and infection. He’s supposed to be one of the elite actors in Hollywood, but he’s always the guy in Field of Dreams. Even in Waterwold, I kept expecting him to beach the catamaran to tend his cornfield, or throw a baseball to a ghost, or befriend Native Americans, or patrol the dirt streets of Tombstone. He’s the same guy in every movie.
I'm so grateful to be able to watch this show in bits and pieces on my android phone. It doesn't even matter if I am familiar with the actors the show is hysterical. And they're all so relaxed and casual, very authentic. Great show.
Kevin Costner was nervous, poor thing. I liked him though-super honest and humble. That Meghan blew me away! She sang the whole thing live & it sounds no different than when on the radio. Bravo!
Not sure if you were being sarcastic about Meghan. She hid her mouth with microphone the whole time she sang. I'm 80% sure she was lip-synced. Unless Graham Norton has super duper great audio system. No breath no shaking caught.
@@budle89 You should watch meghan's carpool karaoke with James Corden. She has amazing breath control and a very clear tone when she sings. Yes she's using a backing track but im near certain she's not lip-synching.
@@budle89 watch any of her other performances standing up and dancing then. She sings just as well and you can hear her breath so she's not lip synching
34:30 -- The thing about Costner's excellent anecdote is: the punchline is - "That story was DANCES WITH WOLVES" -- and everyone is shockingly surprised -- but they were actually talking about DWW as he went into that story! But the STORY ITSELF was so engaging that everyone forgot it was connected with DWW!
@Willa-jane's opinion I like him, but I do think its odd that he was so 'close' with extremely famous people - yet this never came out until after they died... Whitney Houston (yes, I know they did The Bodyguard together - but I never thought he would be the only one she would call to discuss her troubles - both personal and professional) Princess Diana, etc... I'm calling BS on those 'friendships' that only came to light after they were gone.
Jewel Skye he never said he was close to whitney, her family asked him to speak he didn't even want to do it, and as for Diana no one knew about it until Diana's butler revealed it in his book recently and Kevin only talks about it if asked
I remember Helen Mirren from a little ol' movie from back in the day called "Excalibur" also starring one Captain Picard as a noble trying to pull Excalibur out of the stone, and Gabriel Byrne, and even Liam Neeson.
Ricky's response to Kevin's description of Criminal "I love it already" that's because Karl came up with it years ago. The love of two brains, or the romance in a head.
This episode shows the difference between UK and US talk shows. I can't think of one US host who would give Kevin the time to tell his stories. In the US most questions are sent out beforehand so no spontaneity
Amazing set up of individuals, and Helen Mirren! Holy shit, not even the best of corsets could give you a body that great, she's just in fantastic nick..

And that's how a great interviewer works.
It’s doesn’t really matter how good Kevin Costner is… Waterworld.
Any chat show with Ricky Gervais on is hilarious
i feel the same too, been finding every episode that has him in it
Absolutely
@@blupatches3030 Ricky just seems to effortlessly get the best out of the other guests
There is no other celebrity interview show as interesting as Graham Norton!!! So good!!!!
As someone living in the US - this is the best talk show by far ! And in general UK comedy is just miles above the prudish stuff they serve on US TV
Or the childish, krude or boring stuff we get in Germany.
Yes I have to agree. British comedy is so raw uncut and entertaining. No such thing as holding back but they do it without being offensive
Could not agree more!!
As Ricky put it: "If this were America we'd be disguised as wolves dancing around...or doing some other shit"
That's probably why you won't see Costner on those shows. Or at least not very often.
Agreed
In that scene of "Eye in the sky", it took just ONE glance from Alan Rickman, and the mood is set 100%... He was one of the greatest in history...
I love how Helen was like I wanna be in fast and furious and they made it happen
I loved when she said you don't need to act when you do fast and furious haha
juan carlos barrameda I know lmao kinda true though isn’t it haha
I love how they all listen so carefully when Kevin spoke
Yes! Also, I love when he reveals that his friend wrote dances with wolves that all of them are like: wow! that's amazing. Look at Ricky sitting at the tip of the couch really listening.
perdm91 they were enthralled by the storyteller telling the story. He held them, and us, enthralled. Which is a kind of magic all it’s own.
cause they know hes a legend
That shows they're all great. They were instinctively putting his at ease.
Yes ! Kevin has such immense depth and charisma it is obvious why he became immensely successful ,
I love how attentive the panel are to Kevin Costner's Dances with wolves story , so respectful.
you can't drink and drive. Ricky Gervais. This genius funny bastard.

Hear, hear!
I adore GN's show. Best in the universe. Carson had it for decades and to me the mantle is passed to Graham. Wish it to never end.
YES!
I agree. This is by far. The best talk show. The stars are so relaxed.
The pre-package format is not just US talk shows. Graham is an anomaly.
Eric Bana is such a class
Act?
Eric Bana is such a gorgeous man and great actor.
Michael S true
I cant stop looking at him. He is so lovely!!!! Yummy!
Tall drink of water.
I thought he was American
He can play so many different parts from The Castle, The Hulk to Black Hawk Down
I'm Aussie and remember Eric Bana well from his days as a comic on Australian T.V and what a funny bloke. I lived in the U.K during the 70's and remember well the comics of the time eg the 2 ronnies and many others and IMHO Ricky Gervaise is 1 of the best of the next generations of British/English comics.
Also he is devilishly handsome
You should try and find a copy of The Castle very funny assie flick
They put the very shy Kevin Costner at ease, and it became plain beautiful with his stories. Showed how humble and truly kind he is.
It gave me a much greater appreciation of Kevin Costner. Awesome to see how they were all hanging on his lips. I know for a fact he really impressed Ricky Gervais which isn't an easy thing to do.
I was surprised at how uncomfortable & shy he was. Lovely!
It showed how Graham puts the most shy at ease as Kevin started so shy and nervous but soon eased up and became relaxed
ricky gervais is the best. hes the only one on the couch that could make kevin costner laugh 😂
I love Ricky. He's one of my favourite people in the world; Graham is such a good host too
same
True. Garaham does seem to get the best out of his guests maybe because he's very personable ,witty and honest. Doesn't come across as fake
Man, Eric Bana is so easy on the eyes.... great couch guests!!! cheers
Ewan is SO HANDSOME. I have, literally, had a MAD CRUSH on him for YEARS now.
yas!
And so sweet
He is over shadowed by the aussie here
Ok
@@waternineeightlotus2869 Yeah, I know it's ok. No one even has to agree or approve, it's just my own opinion.
This is one hell of a couch... and Graham's jacket is to die for!
the gay 90's called..they heard a 90's gay sentence was stolen from their gay time period.
I'm a real fan of Graham's style choices as well. He seems like such a cool guy, so comfortable in his own skin.
And watching 2 years later I've gotten 4 top movie recommendations! This show is absolute gold! Replace ALLLL the US Late Shows with Graham Norton!
And then that story about Dances w/ Wolves...WTF?! Amazing!
I added heaps of movies to my list as well. Eye in the sky was amazing
Same i added to my list
Eric Bana does a great American accent! I had no idea he was Australian. I was blown away when he started talking.
And do you know that he is Croatian Aussi with full and real surname Banadinović?...He is Bana only for his acting world....
He calls himself Croatian
Well he is actually as much German as Croatian. Unless you don't count his mother.
ruclips.net/video/vpS31FJO8_o/видео.html
I had no idea either. It's been like decades of seeing him in movies and never suspecting.
Helen Mirren looks so amazing and shes 71!!!!
she is not, shut up!
Debbie H why go there? She looks amazing. The negativity in your comment is depressing.
Your parents should be fired at for making you.
She is so beautiful! Liam Neeson was a lucky man!

I like how Kevin just took over the room with stories
Kevin Costner was so uncomfortable on the show and not just Graham, but the other guests made him so welcome... loved it

Obvious respect
Ive never seen others so captivated by 1 actor. This is really a special episode.
😢too bad his head got sooooooo big here in 2023...
New respect for Kevin Costner, he had some good stories...

Got a bit rambley about those wolves.
He is a true guy, and knows psychology that's it
…all ‘round’ guy!

i love how all these huge A list hollywood stars are so humbled by Kevin Kostner
NovumVitae it’s Costner dimwit

Nice correction, Karoline 😏👏
American, Scottish, English, Australian on one couch!
Irish host 😊
Kevin Costner was nervous, poor thing. I liked him though-super honest and humble. That Meghan blew me away! She sang the whole thing live & it sounds no different than when on the radio. Bravo!
Not sure if you were being sarcastic about Meghan. She hid her mouth with microphone the whole time she sang.
I'm 80% sure she was lip-synced. Unless Graham Norton has super duper great audio system. No breath no shaking caught.
@@budle89 You should watch meghan's carpool karaoke with James Corden. She has amazing breath control and a very clear tone when she sings. Yes she's using a backing track but im near certain she's not lip-synching.
@@stellawalker8809 singing while dancing is very different than when you are sitting down.
@@budle89 watch any of her other performances standing up and dancing then. She sings just as well and you can hear her breath so she's not lip synching
Eric Bana is a beautiful man.
Wow an amazing couch of stars! Graham always has the best chats.
Loved Ricky " it's tough being an actor ......soldiers !!!"
Love people with infectious smiles and laughs. Ricky and Ewan have it in spades. Love watching this show.
34:30 -- The thing about Costner's excellent anecdote is: the punchline is - "That story was DANCES WITH WOLVES" -- and everyone is shockingly surprised -- but they were actually talking about DWW as he went into that story! But the STORY ITSELF was so engaging that everyone forgot it was connected with DWW!
That Dances with Wolves writer story is gold.
As if the couch wasn't full of star power already....KEVIN KOSTNER!
Ricky Gervais' laugh it the best. I LUV IT
always loved K,Costner, now i just adore him as a person. absolute legend
So good to see a young lady with a band. Keep Singing
Stay Safe and Stay Free 🎉
I used to dislike Kevin Costner, but I was really impressed with this interview.
@Willa-jane's opinion I like him, but I do think its odd that he was so 'close' with extremely famous people - yet this never came out until after they died... Whitney Houston (yes, I know they did The Bodyguard together - but I never thought he would be the only one she would call to discuss her troubles - both personal and professional) Princess Diana, etc... I'm calling BS on those 'friendships' that only came to light after they were gone.
Jewel Skye he never said he was close to whitney, her family asked him to speak he didn't even want to do it, and as for Diana no one knew about it until Diana's butler revealed it in his book recently and Kevin only talks about it if asked
Kevin Costner's story about Michael Blake writing "Dances With Wolves" was amazing.
Trouble is he didn't write it. The book was written by a Canadian - Farley Mowat who got no credit here whatsoever.
@@gastonlaberge2119 sorry, not the same…Farley Mowat wrote “Never Cry Wolf”. Completely different.
@@gastonlaberge2119 Very wrong! Michael Blake was asked by Costner to adapt his award winning novel Dances with Wolves to a screenplay!
Ewan forgetting his lines in Star wars was hilarious the laughter is so good
The Dances with Wolves story... Lovely!
I love Helen Mirren. She’s a phenomenal actress, but funny and very down to earth, and a true timeless beauty aging naturally and gorgeously.
Wow s h e is good actress, had us all fooled!
I always remember first seeing her in prime suspect, and I was so impressed by her.
She's the real queen.
I remember Helen Mirren from a little ol' movie from back in the day called "Excalibur" also starring one Captain Picard as a noble trying to pull Excalibur out of the stone, and Gabriel Byrne, and even Liam Neeson.
She is gorgeous - decided not to have children - intelligent to boot & bc of that has a stunning figure.
Absolutely epic story told by Costner. Had me gripped on the fate of the writer
This is the BEST talk show on the earth!
Ricky's response to Kevin's description of Criminal "I love it already" that's because Karl came up with it years ago. The love of two brains, or the romance in a head.
This episode shows the difference between UK and US talk shows. I can't think of one US host who would give Kevin the time to tell his stories. In the US most questions are sent out beforehand so no spontaneity
like helllo Jimmy Fallon hahaha
Eric Baner!! Beautiful specimens!!
Eric Banner gives me heart palpitations.... he so achingly gorgeous I’m too scared to look at him for too long
Selina Ali .haha
Margaret Gust Why do you have to be mean?
@@elizabethmcleod246 coz she's an insecure bitch
The older he gets the better he looks. Totally hot
I was so hooked listening to all of Kevin Costner's stories, wow!
This show is the best thing ever
Greatest Graham show ever!!
It’s great that Dame Helen, Kevin Costner, Ewan McGregor are on the show & Ricky Gervais has top billing
Earl Hawley
Hey! Hey! Eric Bana!
Ricky drinks beer the rest water. What a man 😍😍😍
One of my most favourite episodes of Graham Norton. EVER
Bana is so gracious as a guest and friend
Eric Bana and Ewan McGregor together. Thank you, God.
Had Kevin Costner’s stories not been so great I would have been peeved about the abrupt ending. But them were some good anecdotes breh
Omg Kevin Costner! I’ve died and gone to heaven!! ❤️❤️❤️
My goodness this makes me want to cry. These stories are just so awesome man
Amazing set up of individuals, and Helen Mirren! Holy shit, not even the best of corsets could give you a body that great, she's just in fantastic nick..
With enough money anyone can get a great body
@@laurahall907 Money can't purchase her lovely personality, however.
elle hallen yes and no. You still need the discipline and motivation to work out yourself.
I could have listened to Kevin and his stories for hours
