Will Smith has paid Graham Norton a massive compliment. The actor, who frequently appears on Graham's chat show, reckons the presenter is the "King of TV" and has what it takes to make it in Hollywood.
According to The Irish Sun, Smith says he'd love to work with Graham on a script.
Will claims that the Cork native stands out because of "that dry Irish humour".
“Graham is genuinely one of the funniest people I’ve ever encountered and I have met, and worked with, some funny people. You know, that’s saying something.
“I love the show, doing the show, I love the red chair thing when he flips people over. He’s like the King of TV and that would totally translate into movies. I’d love to work with him on a script.
“He’s got this really cool, really unique ability to literally hold the audience in the palm of his hand with one look.
“It’s crazy. Just one look combined with that dry Irish humour.
“I’m surprised he isn’t doing movies, he should be doing movies. His presence, it’s unique, I could see him doing all kinds and audiences really responding."
Will's latest film 'Collateral Beauty' is out in cinemas now.
When a successful New York advertising executive experiences a deep personal tragedy and retreats from life entirely, his colleagues devise a drastic plan to force him to confront his grief in a surprising and profoundly human way.
The film also stars Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren, Michael Peña and Naomie Harris.
