Ben Affleck, Julio Iglesias and Tenacious D chat to Jonathan Ross
This week Jonathan welcomes to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross evergreen singing legend Julio Iglesias, who is - at the age of 64 - about to become a father again for the eighth time.
Μύ
Julio tells Jonathan: "I started very early, and I'm finishing very late!"
Μύ
He also talks about his love of England and his career: "I had a big complex [after a car accident] and my father sent me to England to become more independent. I love England, that was a great time for me.
Μύ
"I have a lot of passion for what I'm doing; without singing I wouldn't survive physically. it's like making love to thousands of people every evening."
Μύ
Jonathan also talks to Hollywood star Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting, Armageddon, Pearl Harbour and now Hollywoodland), who was famously engaged to Jennifer Lopez before finally marrying fellow actor Jennifer Garner last year.
Μύ
He talks about the impact on his personal and professional life of his relationship with J-Lo: "(The media attention) was surreal, so strange; in reality, we ended up being the tabloid story and the magazine market exploded - we filled a vacuum."
Μύ
He discusses creating diversions to get out of the house: "The only thing you could do would be to go out in the trunk of a delivery car"; and the poor reception of Gigli, the film they made together: "The reviews were so extreme, it was almost funny."
Μύ
He also reveals how he gained and then lost weight for his new role in Hollywoodland: "I put on about 30lbs. You eat all day and have ice cream at 11pm.
Μύ
"I would stand naked in front of the mirror and say, 'You fat lazy bastard, get on the treadmill'.
Μύ
"My partner is a very fine actress - she acted to me as though the weight wasn't an issue."
Μύ
Jonathan also welcomes to the show Tenacious D, featuring comedy supremo Jack Black; and there's music from Jet, performing new single Bring It On Back live in the studio.
