The Graham Norton Show is back tonight and Rachel McAdams gets a grilling about Mean Girls. So fetch!
Graham just can’t help but ask Rachel about her most iconic character, Regina George, as she jets in for a gossip.
The good news is, fans of The Graham Norton Show will not require caffeine this week.
Fans were left bleary eyed last Friday after a dramatic BBC schedule change pushed the show back much later than usual.
The Traitors Final meant Graham did not start until 11.15pm, with the show running well past midnight.
Many of us struggled. Some of us definitely nodded off…
Thankfully, Graham is back to launching the weekend in style at a much friendlier hour tonight.
Here is everything you need to know about who is on with Rachel and when it starts.
The Graham Norton Show: Who is on tonight?
Graham is welcoming serious Hollywood star power tonight, with Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry dropping by for a chat first.
The pair star together in new thriller Crime 101 and will be talking Graham through what viewers can expect.
Chris plays jewel thief Mike Davis, while Halle stars as insurance broker Sharon Colvin.
Chris says: “It is a throwback to the 70s, 80s and 90s heist movies that we all love, with a contemporary feel.
“There are complex characters and a deep level of emotion, and it’s entertaining, sleek, sexy, and visually pretty stunning. It was the best script I had read in years.”
Halle explains that her character represents women who are often overlooked. She says Sharon “stands up for all women in middle life”.
She adds: “I think that has been a long time coming. Many women who are down the path of life like I am will feel very happy to be seen.”
Chris also reveals he carried out his own stunts for the film, which is released in cinemas in February.
He admits he loved it, saying: “I am comfortable behind a wheel. It is intense and a huge risk, but I was like a kid in a candy shop.”
While he is on the sofa, Graham asks Chris about Avengers: Doomsday, due out in December, which sees him return as Thor.
“Thor is back, but what can I say without being removed from the movie?!” Chris jokes.
“Every time I come back as Thor, I think, ‘Where can we go from here?’ But each time I have been blown away, and this one is no different. It’s ginormous!”
Who else is on?
Also flying in from the US tonight is Rachel.
Rachel is keen to talk about her new film Send Help, a darkly comedic survival story in which she plays Linda Liddle, one of the two lead characters.
The film follows Linda and her nightmare boss Bradley, played by Dylan O’Brien, after their private jet crashes and leaves them stranded in the wilderness. Everyone else on board is killed.
It is directed by Sam Raimi and Rachel has nothing but praise for him. She says: “He is so wonderful and such a kind and lovely man who makes dark demented films so I knew it would be a big reach!”
Graham also ‘fan boys’ as he asks Rachel about her most famous role as Regina George in Mean Girls.
Rachel admits she never expected the reaction to Regina – and for it to last more than two decades!
