Celluloid sisters Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette - in town to talk about their new movie In Her Shoes - make up to Jonathan Ross ("We didn't realise your show was like this, it's so filthy!") when they meet on Friday.
听
Wielding 'guyliner' and lip-gloss, they give Jonathan a swift make-up lesson after a wide-ranging conversation on 成人论坛 ONE's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross - covering such
A-list actor topics as burping competitions (induced by copious champagne quaffing), hormone swings and how to get your nose broken (several times).
听
Sisters on screen, Diaz and Collette became instant firm friends.
听
"There was a natural, organic way of getting to know each other; there was a real ease to it... it's like a younger/older sibling thing," says Collette.
听
They reveal that all the women on set synchronised their cycles - "It's called synching up," says Diaz.
听
"There was a woman who'd been through the menopause," adds Collette, "and she came back!"
听
They also reveal that they helped cement their friendship with burping competitions.
听
"I'm very gaseous, but not on command," says Diaz, before letting rip with several less-than-ladylike belches.
Diaz also talks about her nose, which has been broken four times from the same side.
听
"S**t finds my nose... I like to give lighting a challenge. If you touch my bump, we have a problem. I wouldn't be able to deal with my face [without it]. I rub it all the time, and it cracks."
听
They both admire co-star Shirley MacLaine - "We're so youth-obsessed - we forget older people are really cool... she's so vital, so engaged" - and agree that they'd never consider plastic surgery.
听
"Absolutely not," says Collette, "I wouldn't want to mess with nature."
听
Jonathan also welcomes departing EastEnders star Shane Richie, who talks about leaving the soap after three years.
听
"There's a lot of tough guys in EastEnders, but I liked playing a character who wore his heart on his sleeve."
听
He discusses the party he threw to mark his last day: "Karaoke... I wanted to do something a bit different. Anything by Lionel Richie and a big finish with My Way".
听
He's now about to embark, next week, on a nationwide tour of the hit musical Scrooge: "I've missed theatre, but I'm petrified," before returning to TV screens with a new 成人论坛 adaptation of Oliver.
听
He's also been spending time in the US working with Dreamworks. "You get a call from Stephen Spielberg's office and you think it's a wind-up. it was bizarre. they said: 'You're like a working-class Hugh Grant!'"
听
There's also chat and stand-up from Jimmy Carr, talking about his new tour, Off the Telly, and DVD, Stand Up; and a dynamic live performance in the studio from Green Day.
听
Friday Night with Jonathan Ross: Friday 11 November, 10.35pm on 成人论坛 ONE.
