Alexander Skarsgård Humorously Recalls First Meeting with Miriam Margolyes
A recent episode of The Graham Norton Show featured a charming interaction between actors Alexander Skarsgård and Miriam Margolyes. During the episode, Skarsgård reflected on their first encounter from several years ago, when Margolyes was renting out a room in her Santa Monica condo.
A Humorous First Meeting
When asked about the meeting, Skarsgård humorously noted that Margolyes appeared to have no recollection of it. “Well, I clearly made a strong impression on her,” he quipped. The conversation took a lighthearted turn as they discussed why he ultimately opted not to rent the room.
Playful Banter
- Miriam Margolyes humorously speculated whether the room was dirty or too costly.
- Skarsgård clarified that his hesitation was due to a perceived “brewing sexual tension.”
- Margolyes, unfazed at age 84 and openly gay, stated, “Darling, I’m 84 and gay! I’ve been with my partner for 58 years!”
This revelation prompted laughter from the entire couch, which included notable stars like Nicola Coughlan and Glenn Close, along with the show’s host, Graham Norton.
Shared Laughter
Alexander Skarsgård quickly acknowledged, “Again, I probably misread the situation,” to which Margolyes cheekily retorted, “Oh, you’re talking out of your bottom!” The playful atmosphere continued as Graham Norton shifted the focus to Nicola Coughlan, asking if she had ever collaborated with Margolyes. Coughlan playfully responded, “I’m your daughter!”
In a hilarious exchange, Skarsgård added, “And I’m your father,” creating a delightful moment that showcased their camaraderie. The segment concluded with both Skarsgård and Coughlan giving Margolyes a warm hug, leaving the audience entertained and amused.
The banter highlights the fun and unexpected connections forged in show business, proving that humor often reigns supreme.
