Often on the show, ladies and gentlemen, we check people's yearbooks and things.
And I have to say, tonight bodes well for a chat show.
On a chat show, what do you want?
Well, Jennifer Lawrence voted, back in high school, most talkative.
Two years in a row.
Two consecutive years.
That's very impressive.
Yeah, it was hard to get.
Chris Pratt, he was voted class clown.
Oh my god.
Ideal.
We didn't have a yearbook.
Jamie Oliver didn't have a yearbook.
But if they had, you might have got most likely to win Princess Leia lookalike competition.
Really, why?
Is that your own hair?
Yeah.
That's incredible.
Yeah, I know.
I'm trying to grow it again.
Well, I wouldn't.
Did you have to set that?
Yeah, it was like...
It's like a bouffant.
Jeez.
I thought I was cool as well.
You were cool.
Trust me, you were cool.
My brother looked exactly like that, and he was the coolest guy.
Oh, thank you.
So that was cool.
And actually, here's the weird thing.
Because in school, I mean, joking aside, school can't be easy because you're dyslexic.
So that must have been a...
Yeah, I wasn't very academic at school, let's put it that way.
I was in what you would call...
They called it special needs in those days.
So I did five years of special needs.
I know, it wasn't the best for your confidence.
But just to fast forward, what an inspiring thing.
So here's this guy, dyslexic in school.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the best-selling non-fiction writer in this country of all time,
ever.
Ever.
Mrs. Murphy, bless you.
In fact, the only person who's outtold you at all is J.K. Rowling.
Yes, yeah, but by quite a lot.
There's a big gap.
I did well, don't get me wrong, but like, next level.
And now, but apparently you're reading books now?
Well, okay, this is going to make...
So look, I can read, but I really struggled with narrative books.
I always fell asleep after 12, 13 pages.
And then when I saw Jennifer in Hunger Games, I loved it so much and you're amazing.
I wanted to see the next show straight away,
but I couldn't be bothered to wait.
So I got the book and I read it.
Which for me was a big deal.
And anyone that's dyslexic will know how that feels.
But so yeah, and it was amazing to have a place,
a quiet place where I could kind of get into it.
Yeah.
But I also, I've just started wearing glasses,
so I realised I'm blind as well.
So the light just got better.
