Graham Norton, now 62, has reflected on his long career by candidly naming six guests he struggled to host. Known for warmth and wit, Norton rarely speaks negatively, making these revelations especially striking.
Mark Wahlberg topped Norton’s list after a chaotic 2013 appearance in which the actor interrupted others, derailed conversations, and even fell asleep on the sofa. Norton described the unpredictable episode as challenging, uncomfortable, and unforgettable.
Mickey Rourke, Kevin Costner, and Robert De Niro also earned difficult-guest labels. Rourke’s drinking and smoking disrupted filming, while Costner’s aloofness and De Niro’s reluctance to share stories left Norton struggling to maintain momentum.
Norton reserved his harshest assessment for Harvey Weinstein, recalling persistent emails and unsettling pressure to be featured on the show. In hindsight, he viewed the behavior as deeply troubling and emblematic of Weinstein’s predatory reputation.
Daryl Hannah rounded out Norton’s list, not for misconduct but for extreme anxiety that hindered her interview. Though the episode faltered, Norton celebrated her relief afterward, offering rare insight into the challenges behind televised spontaneity.
