Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone _ Ben Affleck Tell Embarrassing Mum Stories - The Graham Norton Show

Everyone on the couch, when you've been to award shows, the Oscars, you've all taken your parents, which is, that seems, you know, to have four of you all do the same thing. It's lovely. Now, Ryan, your mom, she, I mean, I'm sure she likes meeting celebrities, but isn't it the gift room is really her thing she enjoys? I don't want to out my mom like this. I will tell a funny story about that picture, though, which is that my mom was convinced that year by her friend that beehives were going to be all the rage. And if you didn't have a beehive, you'd feel embarrassed. And it turned out to be the opposite. It was a natural hair vibe. And my mom sat in front of Rachel Wise and her hair was so high that Rachel had to keep. My mom kept sinking in her chair and I didn't know what to do because I was, you know, I wanted to have a nice night. So I didn't know Meryl Streep, but she was sitting next to me and I said in a commercial break. Would you would you mind just telling my mom you like her hair? And she was like, I got this. And then the commercial when she goes, do you know, I wish I was going to do a beehive and I wish I was like. You know that story, your mom, my mom. Yeah. Because I mean, your mother, does she pretend to not know the famous people or does she just get a bit overexcited and forget? Well, I mean, that when the first time I went to the Golden Globes, just to bring that back around, that was this year. We were sitting next to now. It's not as fun to talk about, but we were sitting next to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. And she was just asking multiple questions, like if they had kids, maybe you. What's it like? I mean, I had no idea the whole time. She knew everything. You two work in the movie business. Are you like a producer? And Sienna, now you took your dad the year of American Sniper. Yes. Now, here's the thing. I think it is a lovely thing to take your parent to the Oscars. But once the ceremony is over, do you just want to ditch them? Like, do you just go to the publicist and go, and I've got an old person. I'm going to a party. No, he came along till five in the a.m. Really? Dancing at Guy O'Siri's house next to John Travolta. Doing a full, like, dance. Wow, there he is. No, he was great and emotional and sort of just wept throughout the whole thing. My mum danced with Prince. Really? He just totally taught me. That's what I'm going to say. No, I like it. Can we go one better? We've got a mother with Prince. A mother with Prince. Let's zoom in on Ryan. No, because famously, you and Matt both took your mums. Right, we did take our mums, which only fuelled rumours of our sexuality at the time. You can see why by that photograph. We did take our mums who look great in that picture. My mum, they do a weird thing where, like, at the Oscars, they put, because they have to rehearse where the shots are going to be and so on, it's a television business thing. Don't worry about it. But they put big name placards of where, so it'll say, instead of Jack Nicholson, it just says Jack Nicholson. And they'll say, like, Ryan Gosling or whatever. And my mum was obsessed by that and went around taking pictures all the time. I was like, you know, that's not the real thing. She enjoyed her time. Yeah. That's very often developed as well. They're in an album now. Yes. Graeme Norton here. If you'd like to see even more stuff like that, then hit subscribe. Or don't. It's a free world. But I know what I'd do in that situation.
