S19.E12: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Jeff Goldblum, Liam Hemsworth, Tom Odell

Quote

Graham is joined by wrestling superstar-turned-actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, promoting new movie Central Intelligence; and Hollywood stars Jeff Goldblum and Liam Hemsworth, co-starring in sci-fi blockbuster Independence Day: Resurgence. With music and chat from Tom Odell, performing new single Magnetised.

Didn't have high hopes for this combination but I was so wrong, it worked on many levels.  Who knew Liam Hemsworth was so charming?  And I actually liked the performer, that almost never happens.

That was really entertaining and I liked how graciously 'The Rock' handled things when he had finished the Ali story making sure the spotlight returned to Nicola Adams.

I'm still chucking over the Goldblum-as-dandelion photoshop.

I reeaally wanted to hear the held-back dish on Van Damme. Damn you, good manners!

Miranda Hart would have felt positively dainty had she been on that couch.

That baby dressed like Johnson was adorable.

I loved Graham and Goldblum's silent conversation about him. Hee.

Liam Hemsworth showed so much more personality than his still photos indicate.

I know! He was positively delightful.

Funny. I was disappointed in this episode. I think all three are charming and self-deprecating, but it just missed for me. I did like Graham's comment in the beginning and the singer's comment at the end about the Brits being the shortest people on the couch.

Or his movie performances.

I'm predisposed to like the guy because one of my cousins has grown up to look just like him, but he's normally a void of charisma compared to his big brother. I credit Johnson for having enough to serve for the entire couch.

Yeah, like they all had scurvy. :D

I thought this was a lot of fun. I knew Dwayne Johnson was charming and funny, and I've always loved Jeff Goldblum. Hemsworth was great too. AND I loved the boxer, Nicola... can't remember. This isn't a good thing to say about a boxer, but she's a cutie-pie. I wouldn't mind watching her matches in the Olympics. Hope she wins the gold.

Loved the photoshops of Jeff Goldblum shirtless, particularly the one with Sam Neill. The original photo of Dwayne with his fannypack, turtleneck, and chain was too funny, particularly the tissue under his elbow.

When the audience laughed after Goldblum said Hemsworth was a good actor, I figured that was because Goldblum has an odd way about him that makes everything he says sound suspect.

I was watching the show with my sister and BIL. They weren't interested in the singer, so I FF'd past him. I'll have to look into his music. I thought his name sounded familiar, but I'm probably thinking of Tom Bodett. 

I just listened to samples from a few of his songs. I don't think I've heard any of them.

We'll leave the light on for you.
