Will Smith, Helen Mirren On Bathrooms
Fans who spot Will Smith, Helen Mirren, or Martin Freeman near a public bathroom would be wise to avoid saying hello. On this week’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, all three stars appeared as guests and discussed why fan interactions near restrooms are just so uncomfortable. “When you get recognized in a queue for the toilet … that is not an easy place to be recognized.
