Suranne Jones' greatest weakness are coffee _ Hugh Jackman. The Graham Norton Show

We first met this BAFTA winning actress on coronation Street Then as one half of Scott and Bailey, but she truly gripped the nation in the monster hit. Dr. Foster, please. Welcome Saran Joe It's so showbiz happy new year happy new year or Eve or something whatever it is Making me a bit nervous with the whole tongue I'm not sure what that was. It's special. What's falling? Is that special? I don't know He looked a bit like a dog that had peanut butter Do you meet people backstage? No, you were you weren't back here? No, no, I we try but she wouldn't see No, it's too nervous. I get very nervous before I come on thing. So We have met I know we met in Broadway at the river. Yeah. Oh, yeah good memory Yeah with my husband as well. Is this mean of me? This might be mean of me but like because people, you know, we give interviews people ask us stupid questions we answer them So in 2013, do you remember you were asked in a questionnaire what your greatest weakness was? If I wasn't sat next to Hugh Jackman, I Would answer you but you're gonna say anyway, yes, you said coffee and you Jackman But then I went on to marry someone who also loved you and when we met he was winding me up before we met and He was getting knives and putting them on his hand Saying when I meet Hugh I'm gonna do this because he loves Wolverine and we had a massive argument So I said, why would you do that? Why can't you say you were great in the play? Nice to meet you We met and he's my husband didn't say boo to a goose stood in a corner and we went hi, how are you? And then was so disappointed that you couldn't that you weren't like Wolverine, so really yeah Sorry Lawrence, here's the thing I think it's extraordinary because you walk out to that that mighty war and you as an actress You were in the most popular show in Britain in Coronation Street, then Scott Bailey everyone loved that but dr. Foster You must have thought I'm really famous and then dr. Foster came along. I know it's just gone mental Yeah, I've not done a show where people have just been behind it and also because you couldn't binge watch it You had to watch it once a week It had that kind of water cooler effects and and you know for a character that was quite mental at times Especially in season 2. Yes. Yeah people loved it, but also it was quite graphic So so that must have been odd for you then just surround Jones doing your shopping Remember I've told you this before but I was I was in the woods with my two-year-old nearly two-year-old and I've done this big Hate sex scene where there was lots of you know things going on in the kitchen They wipe down the surfaces after that And you know, but you know you do these scenes and you're just kind of like and I'm with my son and my son's Just wants to pick up sticks or do you know sing? Songs with me in the woods and then people come in passing Saw you last night in that scene. That was quite some I'm like, yeah, like not now Piggy went to market. Yeah, literally You are not resting because you're straight back to work presumably in the new year in rehearsals a new play it's called frozen Not the Disney version. No Yes, I think that poster is it good enough to avoid? It starts the 21st of February, it's at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London and it's not just you it's a really starry cast It's a Jason Watkins and Nina Susanna is it Susanna Susanna who are they're both in w1a together? I know which is a comedy and again ours isn't really a comedy. No, this sounds quite Yeah, yeah It's a psychological thriller Three-hander and it's about a woman who loses her child a child goes missing and then she gets the opportunity to meet the person that was responsible for that and I read somewhere where how you feel because you're a newish mom that that has Kind of affected your brain when you read a script like this. It's a kind of a different switch has been flipped Do you know I don't know how you guys feel but so when I became I was pregnant. I thought I was attracted by like missing children Because I've done three like dr. Foster Then I'm in a skyline tick thing called save me and that's about a missing child and then frozen is about missing so I must have been in the headspace where it was like the total opposite to what I was so happy in my marriage and Having a new baby that I was drawn to these really dark stories. I mean it does stop after this one She's got a kid But I'm going actually how long were you in carnation for you for years I presume do you have any clue what for you all you Jackman knows what it is and there's that no I've heard that I've heard of it.
