Last night’s (February 14) edition of The Graham Norton Show left viewers thrilled with Pamela Anderson and Stephen Graham.
Anderson, Graham, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sean Hayes, and Ross Kemp all sat on the popular talk show’s sofa, and viewers noticed a warm contact between Stephen Graham and Pamela Anderson.
Anderson had said that her ex-husband was a boxer before telling the famed actor, ‘I’m staring at you, and it’s really… hmmm,’ as she made multiple movements that might be interpreted as expressing her admiration for Graham.
Graham is appearing as a boxer in the new Disney+ series A Thousand Blows and has undergone an incredible physical transformation to play punishing pugilist Sugar Goodson.
He’s obviously developed a body worthy of a great boxer, and Pamela Anderson seems to have noticed his efforts had paid off.
Despite appearing to be flattered, the A Thousand Blows star gestured to his wedding ring and gently let Anderson down.
“Pam I think you’re wonderful, but my missus would kill me,” he remarked, causing the crowd to laugh as the former Baywatch actress characterized him as very handsome, but you’re married.
Stephen Graham has been married to fellow actor Hannah Walters since 2008, and the two choose to keep their relationship private.
He recently spoke with The Times about his marriage, adding, “We have ups and downs, of course. Fortunately, the relationship we both have with our children is lovely, although it requires effort.”
They met while preparing to be actors and have collaborated on a number of projects.
Meanwhile, the exchanges between Graham and Anderson captivated fans of The Graham Norton Show, and they wanted to know what was going on between them.
One viewer called Stephen Graham ‘hilarious’ for the way he played it off, while many others felt Pamela Anderson was a ‘great pleasure’ on the sofa.
Some people commented that Graham ‘understandably appears utterly starstruck with Pamela Anderson,’ and there was a lot of admiration for the actor among the audience.
Audiences should prepare for a few weeks when Graham will no longer be hosting The Graham Norton Show.
He’s taking a break for the show that will air on February 28th since he has a live tour in Australia scheduled for that day, with Claudia Winkleman filling in.
