Nah. The guests are asked for their preferred drinks. There were previous guests who had tea and water. Alcoholism is self-determined, by the way. A person has a choice to become or not to become an alcoholic, or to engage or not to engage in any kind of addiction.
The amount of platonic male love in this is making my heart swell. Gay and straight, doesn’t matter-just good friends who take comfort in physical touch. Truly beautiful.
You said it way better than I could ... but I also love to see this ... women give each other a peck on the lips to greet each other as friends, so refreshing to see men to it as well. Where it shouldn't be 'refreshing' and just the norm!
Men entirely comfortable and confident in their masculinity, as it should be... It's one of the things I have to be careful about going to the UK after living here in Asia for over 25 years... Men are a lot more physically comfortable in close proximity over here than where I grew up.
Any straight man that has confidence in himself does not care about gay people and flirting. Its only the closet gay straight guys that feel uncomfortable. And Acting and the Arts in general is dominated by gay men so its something you got to be use to or just dont do.
This is my favourite episode of the Graham Norton Show ever. Simply because these are three talented, humble, down-to-earth and hilarious actors who have a wonderful friendship as well as respect and admiration for one anothers ability to act.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Nothing pretentious, no egos, just lovely men being themselves and showing love and admiration for each other. My heart is happy.
These 3 actors are part of my childhood, teenagehood and adulthood. I love them. They are my mutants. They made me laugh, they made me cry and laugh so bad. This is my favorite interview. The love and respect they have for each other is just so moving.
I keep coming back to this episode whenever I am at an all time low. It always cheers me up. The friendship between them is soo heartwarming. You start believing that all is right in the world again..
Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellan (the big flirt) are SO FUNNY together. You just know a dinner party with them, the food would go cold because you're laughing too much to eat.
These beautiful men! Legendary talent, class, funny, totally at ease within themselves and with each other. That includes Graham Norton. This will always be the most outstanding talk show on TV.
Hands down this is the best ever episode of TGNS, the natural chemistry between all three of these superstars is fantastic and even after nearly 20 years has passed between their first meeting, the way Hugh Jackman has so much respect and admiration for these giants of stage and screen is fantastic…the surprise introduction of Sir Ian (who was introduced simply as “Ian McKellen” by Graham yet wasn’t corrected, showing Sir Ian’s humility) was simple yet so brilliantly effective. The surprise looks on Hugh’s and Sir Patrick’s faces was just brilliant. However, as hilarious are a lot of the stories that these three regale, the McKellen/Dame Maggie Smith story at the Oscars is the icing on the cake. Graham Norton should be tapped on the shoulders by Her Majesty for the way this show is produced and executed, in fact the whole team should be.
You could already see Hugh getting emotional about Sir Patrick saying he was done too. Ugh. I absolutely adore these three together. When I watch these episodes of them together it makes me cry so hard. 😖
you have no idea how obssesed i am with this episode it's so good, the great loving friendship and chemistry between them and the lovely surprise by Ian and every single story they tell, it's just a perfect show with a perfect episode with a perfect guest with perfect stories
These three have probably the greatest chemistry of any three actors together I've ever seen. Very genuine loving friendship. Must be amazing to have friends like this. I've never experienced it.
I’m not a fan of James Blunt, but I’d say having Hugh Jackman, Ian McClellan, and Patrick Stewart singing you “happy birthday” must be the greatest birthday memory of all time.
@@clw5537 Wow dude, all I said was that I wasn’t a fan. Maybe pull your head out of his ass where the light’s a little better next time so you can see a bit clearer… But you’re right. Those “artists” that compile two decades worth of albums where every single song is a love song are so versatile and imaginative. Especially when they require 3-5 other people to help them write the lyrics. And don’t even get me started on how ingenious it is to conform to bland, manufactured sound of current Top 40 pop music… Ugh. Sheer brilliance.
Blunt is a hilariously funny war vet., since he was good enough for Princess Leia who gaf what some troll thinks about him? Tweet him, he'll take you down effortlessly.
@@unowen-nh9ov Are you people all seriously this slow or does his music just evoke some sort of ultra-sensitivity to anything not super pro-James Blunt? All I fcuking said was I wasn’t a fan of his. Or is that not permitted in this day and age anymore? Oh and having an affair with a woman 20 years your senior isn’t normal, regardless of whether or not you call her by the one name of the one role you know her to have played. Bunch of weirdos you James Blunt fans are. I actually feel sorry for the guy now.
Still watching this in 2022, when Hugh Jackman is about to return in 2023 for a Deadpool movie as well wolverine. These three men were my childhood and I am so grateful for their amazing talents
I just love the Graham Norton show. Watch clips from it all the time. Don’t think any channels are showing it here where I live. The huge standout is the warmth on the show. The liberating atmosphere that seem to make the guests open up in a way not seen on other shows. This is a really warm episode. And all seem so spontaneous singing to James for his birthday. A thing to remember for sure. Also many guests are repeatedly guests on this show. A testament to how great and well renowned Graham is and that the feeling is genuine. Of course guests are carefully planned plugging albums or movies but that’s expected. Thank you for a great show with relaxed great stories from guests
I watched this a second time. It makes my heart feel full. It's so beautiful, refreshing and calming to see men being human: emotional, vulnerable, authentic. Thank you for being real men.
To be a comedian one writes and practices jokes. To be a wit is to be funny just off the cuff and shows great intelligence The ability to react to anything and make it funny is grahams achievment What a great joy it is to see him.
This has to be my all-time favorite of all The Graham Norton episodes I have watched. I do not think it is the bromance between Hugh, Patrick, and Ian. Still, their chemistry is so open that you feel a welcomed guest into their close professional/personal relationships. Their ribbing, joking, and laughing at one another are all in front of the backdrop of unconditional acceptance. I felt that energy in the way that James was an immediate inductee into the group in just a few minutes at the end of the show. Graham is an iconic host and is always a vital element of the dynamic, but I did not feel he had to work too hard to foster the ambiance of this show.
Camaraderie between Sir Ian Patrick and Hugh is off the charts. It's 100% mutual something which goes beyond money and fame. For large part you forget Graham is even hosting the show such is their involvement in each other.
That was one of my first theatre shows ever in Australia...didn't know I was watching the beautiful Hugh as he wasn't the name he was yet...but I still say that is one of the best theatre show experiences I've ever seen 28 years later...
It's as if they ran into each other at the airport and decided to get hammered at the bar waiting for their delayed flights..simply extraordinary..such fun.
watching this for umpteenth time. just noticed that Patrick Stewart has very classic hand gestures and movements. Just years of training in theatre permeating off of his personality.. amazing
James Blunt is wonderful human being also. He's a newbie compared to these legends but I wish he could have been on the couch with them the whole time. He would have soaked up their stories like a sponge.
This is one of my favorite episodes of the Graham Norton Show! This is the love of friends! Hugh, Sir Ian and Sir Patrick!! It's such a feel-good episode!!!
Legendary, iconic episode 👌👌👍👍👏👏. My favourite one !!! Watching these gentlemen is an absolute treat. Blown away by the respect shown to each other. 💙💙💙
If there's someone I truly love and am a huge fan of is Sir Ian McKellen, like Sir Patrick from X-Men and Star Trek of course, Hugh Jackman is adorable but Sir Ian McKellen, he's on another level, I adore him. Anything he does, he's one of the most amazing human beings on this planet
I have lways known that Graham Norton Show is a very funny and entertaining show. BUT GEEZ! THIS EPISODE MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD FROM THE START TO THE END! These men are so authentic, they truly cared for each other and truly at ease with each other. Even James Blunt was a great add to the mix! Even Graham didn't have to lead the show as much. He mostly let the guys run the show. But his interjections were so funny and very great timing!!! Truly my most favourite episode!

I think this mgiht just be the best episode of The Graham Norton Show ever.
This show promotes Alcoholism.
Nah. The guests are asked for their preferred drinks. There were previous guests who had tea and water.
Alcoholism is self-determined, by the way. A person has a choice to become or not to become an alcoholic, or to engage or not to engage in any kind of addiction.
IKR!!!!
No doubt
+Lady Anja Hayes That is exactly what I was thinking. I can't imagine there will ever be another as great either.
The amount of platonic male love in this is making my heart swell. Gay and straight, doesn’t matter-just good friends who take comfort in physical touch. Truly beautiful.
Beautiful comment

*Ian patting Patrick*
"It's about time you died"
LOL. Love their friendship
Sir Ian McKellen is one of the most Adorable human being on the face of this fucking planet.
ANKIT PANDEY yes just like robin Williams :( RIP
Yes.
He's like the grandfather everyone would want.
on the face of this FUCKED planet
When he hugged Hugh he holds Hugh's ass lmao
“A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.” When Ian McKellen arrived.
In this he is Magneto and not the Gray Wizard.
I prefer, Magneto.
This is my favourite episode of the Graham Norton Show ever. Simply because these are three talented, humble, down-to-earth and hilarious actors who have a wonderful friendship as well as respect and admiration for one anothers ability to act.
& James Blunt.
Yeah I know,@@unowen-nh9ov James Blunts twitter comments made me LMAO.
This is so authentic and emotional. I just love how vulnerable the men are being.
Yes, all of them, Blunt included
They never are like this on American shows.
The magic of Graham
Such class.
British and Australian
I love that Sir Patrick just gently reached out and touched Hugh’s arm. That is real human emotion.
Three absolute legends. Pure uncut chemistry and natural comedic chops.
Uncut 🤣
@@cesarpanda lol i didn't even intend that.
I love the camaraderie between Ian, Patrick & Hugh.
They are all very comforting to each other.
I wish everyone could get to that level.
One of the best chat shows every filmed.
I enjoyed it from start to finish.
As Hugh said, they were well into their 2nd. decade of working together when he thanked Ian for supporting him in his 1st movie.
Trifecta!
Beautiful, just beautiful. Nothing pretentious, no egos, just lovely men being themselves and showing love and admiration for each other. My heart is happy.

Nice comment Luiz, and I agree with you.
I keep coming back to this episode whenever I am at an all time low. It always cheers me up. The friendship between them is soo heartwarming. You start believing that all is right in the world again..
I agree I am feeling rather down and I have already watched this episode 6 times❤
me as well 😍
I feel ya
I loooove Graham Norton. He’s witty,funny and an excellent host. He leaves all the other hosts in his dust.
Ian and Patrick's friendship is so real and so pure its amazing I love it !
Sir Ian, you are more than Oscar worthy, you have my vote, but you dear man, are iconic and that lasts forever...
There honestly is not another talk show as relaxed and as great as Graham's show!
Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellan (the big flirt) are SO FUNNY together. You just know a dinner party with them, the food would go cold because you're laughing too much to eat.

I've often thought this! He does indeed deserve to be Sir Graham Norton.
sorry but did you seriously expect Sir Ian to correct Graham and demand he be called Sir?
You are odd
You sir, have read my mind. The way Hugh Jackman shows respect and humility to these two great gentlemen, man i can't even describe how i felt
You could already see Hugh getting emotional about Sir Patrick saying he was done too. Ugh. I absolutely adore these three together. When I watch these episodes of them together it makes me cry so hard. 😖
Get yourself a friend that looks at you the way Hugh looks at Patrick😂
Graham Norton is such an excellent host. Him letting people have their space and time to speak naturally without interrupting them is wonderful.
you have no idea how obssesed i am with this episode it's so good, the great loving friendship and chemistry between them and the lovely surprise by Ian and every single story they tell, it's just a perfect show with a perfect episode with a perfect guest with perfect stories
This is an amazing episode! These three men are just magic together, you can truly feel the affection they share for each other.
This episode needed to be 4 hours long
These three have probably the greatest chemistry of any three actors together I've ever seen. Very genuine loving friendship. Must be amazing to have friends like this. I've never experienced it.
I’ve watched this episode several times and it never fails to have me laughing.
When Sir Ian McKellen comes out, I cry 😭😭😭😭
Can't imagine when one day either Sir Ian or Sir Patrick pass away. It must be the saddest day
How cool must it have been to have Hugh Jackman, Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen sing "Happy Birthday" to you!!!
I saw Sir Ian McKellen as Lear in London. He is one of the most iconic Shakespearean actors ever. Moved to tears 😢 honoured 😊
One of the best casting ever. Wolverine, Magneto and Prof X.
I’m not a fan of James Blunt, but I’d say having Hugh Jackman, Ian McClellan, and Patrick Stewart singing you “happy birthday” must be the greatest birthday memory of all time.
Look who’s alone now it’s not me, it not meeee, those three wisemen they’ve gotta semi by the sea, gotta ask yourself the question, where are you now?
He is literally one of the greatest artists of all time. He has way more to offer than you are beautiful.
@@clw5537 Wow dude, all I said was that I wasn’t a fan. Maybe pull your head out of his ass where the light’s a little better next time so you can see a bit clearer…

Oh and having an affair with a woman 20 years your senior isn’t normal, regardless of whether or not you call her by the one name of the one role you know her to have played.
Bunch of weirdos you James Blunt fans are. I actually feel sorry for the guy now.
These four gentlemen are the best of the best Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Blunt.
God, Hugh is so on the edge of tears for so much of this...it's heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
So many laughs, so much love. Why can't everyone be like this bunch of mad lads!
This is one of the best episode ... Fluidity of relationship between the three of them is refreshing to watch....
This episode is so light and carefree and human. One of my fave GNS moments
I love these guys and the lack of toxic masculinity. Hugh, Ian, and Patrick are some of the most amazing men on earth.
Still watching this in 2022, when Hugh Jackman is about to return in 2023 for a Deadpool movie as well wolverine. These three men were my childhood and I am so grateful for their amazing talents

The love Patrick and Ian have for each other is a joy to see.
I love watching this episode over and over again. Especially on a tough day. So much love and adoration for each other just warms my heart
I never foresaw that Captain Picard, Wolverine, and Gandalf the Grey would have so much in common! *Legends*
I watched this a second time. It makes my heart feel full. It's so beautiful, refreshing and calming to see men being human: emotional, vulnerable, authentic. Thank you for being real men.
i love sir patrick's smile. it's just feels so heart warming
This is one of my favorite episodes. The amount of love and humor are so beautiful. ❤
I still come back to this episode every other month or so. The best one ever!
All adulation for the 3 OGs, and rightfully so , but a moment to appreciate Mr. Blunt - such a humble soul
I have just watched this episode for the first time and have to agree that this still is the best one ever. These guys are brilliant!!!!!
Ian is such a fabulous human being!!! Love love love the energy he brings to any room he enters into. Smiles all across the room.
To be a comedian one writes and practices jokes.
To be a wit is to be funny just off the cuff and shows great intelligence
The ability to react to anything and make it funny is grahams achievment
What a great joy it is to see him.
Three wonderful men with such presence on screen AND off.. such characters, yes, best episode ever for me!
This has to be my all-time favorite of all The Graham Norton episodes I have watched. I do not think it is the bromance between Hugh, Patrick, and Ian.

This show is getting me through a difficult time. Thank you, Graham Norton! A laugh every day is such therapy. xo
Camaraderie between Sir Ian Patrick and Hugh is off the charts. It's 100% mutual something which goes beyond money and fame. For large part you forget Graham is even hosting the show such is their involvement in each other.
Sir Beef Stew is the awesome grandpa we all wish we had! Him and Sir Ian!😆
Ian is so adorable and a true joy and I love all his flirting with Hugh and the way Hugh good-naturedly eats it up lol.
The amount of chemistry in this episode is off the charts. You can just feel the love and respect between Hugh, Patrick and Ian.
This was one of Graham's best shows! 3 of the best mutants that have ever graced the screen.
That was one of my first theatre shows ever in Australia...didn't know I was watching the beautiful Hugh as he wasn't the name he was yet...but I still say that is one of the best theatre show experiences I've ever seen 28 years later...

Just years of training in theatre permeating off of his personality..
amazing
This show is simply fabulous with a perfect host & a sensational couch, doesn't get any better ❤️🙏
I love how they have wine service so promptly! The show has a nice crew to keep it flowing smoothly, if you know what I mean!
Mr Stewart is amazing ,each part he plays is just amazing,when he played Scrooge in Christmas carol,he gave such heart performance
Graham Norton is the most wonderful, easy to talk too, genuine host. ♥️ love his shows.
I know theres James Blunt- fantastic songwriter- but the bromance Pat-Hugh-Ian is one of the best episodes!
James Blunt is wonderful human being also. He's a newbie compared to these legends but I wish he could have been on the couch with them the whole time. He would have soaked up their stories like a sponge.

The love and sincerity between those three fantastic actors is wonderful to see
The amount of respect, love and admiration between these three, is awesome
Live long and prosper for all of you - thanks from GER for showing me this
Ian is such a fabulous personality and quite obviously the centre of attention wherever he goes . Such a delight
ironically Hugh became wolverine 2 more, X-Men and Deadpool, while Patrick became Professor X again in Multiverse of Madness
Whose watching before deadpool 3
Right here! And of anyone deserves a comeback in deadpool3 its ian as a psycho magneto! 🤩
This is the best episode of a talk show ever in existence.
Ive watched this episode about 5 times in the past year, i just love their bond and love for one another
Seeing any of these guys live would be an unforgettable experience
Thank you for sharing this. My fave actors. God bless.
"this is Magneto's coat"....... audience gasps. 😁😁😁😁
These men are all happy with themselves. Not worried about showing their love of each other 💜
I love how much respect and admiration they have for each other and their works.
So beautiful to witness love, humor and flirtatiousness among men !
This was such a fun show with these three guests!
the love they show towards each other is so so real. you can tell.
Patrick and Hugh are always hilarious on Graham Norton 😂😂
If there's someone I truly love and am a huge fan of is Sir Ian McKellen, like Sir Patrick from X-Men and Star Trek of course, Hugh Jackman is adorable but Sir Ian McKellen, he's on another level, I adore him. Anything he does, he's one of the most amazing human beings on this planet
This friendship radiates pure warmth and love ❤️
Absolutely the funniest Graham Norton Show ever! And that is saying something!
This is the best GN show that I have seen. So much talent and wholesome people.
I love these Male Friendships where a straight dude and a gay dude can be close and friendly and respect each other. Hold hands and just share ideas.
Hugh just admires and adores Ian and Patrick
Thanks so much for posting.
I can keep watching this episode, never gets old.
this show is hilarious and chaotic. the only talk show on tv where the host barely gets a word in except for a couple of quips. lmfao
I have lways known that Graham Norton Show is a very funny and entertaining show. BUT GEEZ! THIS EPISODE MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD FROM THE START TO THE END!
These men are so authentic, they truly cared for each other and truly at ease with each other. Even James Blunt was a great add to the mix!
Even Graham didn't have to lead the show as much. He mostly let the guys run the show. But his interjections were so funny and very great timing!!!
Truly my most favourite episode!
7:33 “I think it’s the end for me too.” Rewatching this episode after watching Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness! 😉
Amazing episode. I have lots of favorite clips but this episode was perfect beginning to end.
