G: You didn't go to the Oscars but you went to all the parties?

O: Oh yes! All the parties!! My cousin is involved with this environmental company called Global Green, so I went to that one and that was really very interesting. No as exciting as maybe some of the other parties, so I went to some of them as well.



G: So when you are going around to the parties...it seems like if you talk to a woman,suddenly you are linked. Like tomorrow people will be like 'Orlando Bloom and Samantha Morton were seen chatting in the Green Room afterwards.'Does that get you down?

O: What you gonna do? I mean well, yes,it's annoying because it sort of kills the romance and the moment of like, oh there's somebody, you're going to meet somebody and you have a little moment and everyone wants to know about it. So that sort of shoots your little introduction and that magic time of just meeting somebody.



G: Well you can't go on a couple of dates and just see where it goes. It's either got to go somewhere or stop right now.Bad!

O: No, it's not that bad actually. (Awkward moment ensues!)



They chat about the Oscar winners which leads to discussions of other films. Samantha Morton and Orlando turn to face each other chatting amongst themselves, when Graham says into his mic, "Orlando Bloom is dating Samantha Morton!"





continued below...

Lots of laughing as the Oscars chat continues.



Orlando says, "See that, I touched her leg, it's all over!"

Graham continuing his 'commentary', "...they met on my show!"



Samantha and Orlando continue chatting away and get wires crossed about meeting Samanthas fiance.

Graham into his mic, "Orlando Bloom and Samantha Morton have split up!"



The conversation then turns to worms...Samantha caught ring worm from her cats. Graham turns to Orlando and says, "You touched her leg!! I won't go near her"



Orlando says to Samantha, "Have you ever thought about doing stand-up? You'd be brilliant. I could sit and listen to you for hours."



G: (To Orlando) "I want to talk about your eco-house. Because you're building a green house, for a million pounds."

O: "Really? Is it that much?"



G: "You've got to like tomatoes!!"

O: "NO it's not anywhere near that sort of money, but I'm building a house that I'm trying to make as green as possible."



G:"Where are you building it?"

O: "Y'know! Somewhere! In the universe! Somewhere...PRIVATE! Where no one can find me! Ever! Hopefully!"

continued below...

The next part I'm only briefly touching on with transcription to avoid offending anyone's religious beliefs.

Archaeologists have discovered a tomb which they believe is the tomb of Jesus Christ. There are engaving on the side in ancient arabic(?). This leads to a discussion of what the engraving means.



Orlando says, "It looks like someone has said, 'Lets build a box, stick it in the ground and say that this is Jesus' tomb.'





The conversation goes onto an image of the Virgin Mary which appeared on a pizza pan in a school in America. The mexican dinner lady who discovered it, immediately set up a shrine.





Samantha then begins to talk about the BBC TV series 'Only Fools And Horses'. I think Orlando is a bit of a fan!!





Graham tries to bring the conversation back to facial images in food with a picture of a 'Happy Face' biscuit and some 'Billy Bear' childrens sandwich meat.



Graham then pulls up his internet page onto the screen. Orlando says he looks like a magician...very Vegas!

They cut over live to a Greyhound racing track. The ladies all have a little squeel when they are told that Orlando is in the studio. He replies, "Awww, thanks ladies. I'll be down later."



Orlando opts for putting a bet on a dog called 'Private Dancer'.



Graham says, "Orlando wants a pound on Private Dancer."

"A POUND!!!!!!!!!!!" he replies.





Unfortunately Orlando's dog doesn't win.



So then we move onto a story about David Hasselhoff.



G: Is it true that David Hasselhoff approached you? Where did he approach you?



O: In the men's toilets!!!!!!!!!!

G: No he didn't! Really????



O: No he didn't at all! It was at some party somewhere, at some award thing, it was a while ago. He said he'd read somewhere that I liked 'Knight Rider'. So I thought, Oh, he's going to ask me to play Knight Rider.And he said 'Well I'm going to play Knight Rider (in a film) and I wonder if you'd like to play his son!!!





continued below...

G: What was the story when you were travelling with Johnny Depp to the Caribbean for him to be a pirate?

O: "Well, we were on a private plane which was very nice...one of my first experiences on a private plane."



"And he just had a lot of alcohol so we were drinking a lot of very good red wine because he likes...very good red wine."



"Normally you sleep on a flight like that but we were sort of enjoying the wine."



"So we get off the plane, well, it was more stumbling really, but he sort of walked out and there was a red carpet laid out..."



"...and the Prime Minister of St. Vincent was there to meet us."



"So he walked over to him and he was like, you know, like a Johnny move...'Hey man! Pleased to meet you!"



"And I was like stumbling around, picking up his stuff."





"It was just very wrong..very wrong."

Final part: 'Drunks Say The Funniest Things'

They filmed a drunk guy (Andy) talking about famous people.The audience had to guess who he was describing.







(I love Orlando's expression! :lol: )




And finally they bring Andy out...




That's it, a total of 101 screencaps! :D

There's more! :bigwink:

This is the Podcast extra from The Graham Norton Show website. It was filmed after the show, as a sort of wind-down. Graham asked some members of the audience to give reasons why they are worthy to meet Orlando.

Podcast available at The Graham Norton Show Video Podcast or as a download HERE





One said that she stood in the rain for 9 hours at the Two Towers premiere only for him not to turn up. So Orlando runs to the top of the stairs and gives her a big hug.









Graham starts chatting to more in the audience...









continued below...

And then a lady (Lady Lightening as Graham call her) has some 'Blooms' for Orlando.
