WATCH: Dan Stevens Talks ‘Hangmen’, Stand-up Comedy, and More on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’
The Late Late Show with James Corden had a brightly-dressed guest last night — Dan Stevens!
Stevens arrived on the show donning a fantastically yellow Versace suit (and matching nails, to boot). He and Corden dove right into a discussion about the unfortunate premature shutdown of Hangmen, a play which Stevens was a part of. Martin McDonagh’s award-winning production had been set to make its Broadway debut (having first gained critical acclaim in London in 2015), but the COVID-19 pandemic meant that the show was shut down permanently during previews, just a week before its grand opening (and thus I tossed a sad glance to the drawer where my unused ticket stub for the show now lives).
The two also discussed Stevens’ college days as a stand-up comedian, track four from Monty Python Sings, and exactly which words from the aforementioned song seemingly prevented Stevens from belting it out live on the show. He also talked about one of his latest films, Blithe Spirit, and working with Judi Dench.
