E-mails, schemails. Want something to cheer you up just in time for the weekend? Well, BBC‘s “The Graham Norton Show” may have just the shot of fun you need to forget about yet another Anthony Weiner scandal.
Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne and Oscar nominees Benedict Cumberbatch and Bryan Cranston appeared as guests on the popular late night program that aired tonight in the U.K. Both Redmayne and Cumberbatch were there to promote their upcoming films where they play magicians of some sort, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and “Doctor Strange” respectively. What you may not know is that Redmayne has been a fan of the art of illusion since he was a kid and Norton, smartly, gave him the opportunity to show his stuff. Needless to say, the “Theory of Everything” star’s enthusiasm for the bit is crazy infectious and he may have a whole new career on his hands. Find out what happened in the embedded clip below.
“Doctor Strange” opens nationwide on Nov. 4. “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” opens nationwide on Nov. 18.
