The Irish chat show host and TV presenter has welcomed some of the world’s biggest stars to his BBC programme, The Graham Norton Show.
Among them are Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Dwayne Johnson, Taylor Swift, Helen Mirren, Ian McKellen, Mila Kunis, Olivia Colman and 50 Cent.
However, Norton said that some celebrities had managed to evade him.
“Julia Roberts has never been on. Neither has Brad Pitt,” he told The Observerin a Q&A.
He added that “the young royals would be interesting”, most likely referring to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.
Norton also offered some insight into what he is expecting from the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest, which takes place next month.
The BBC announced in April that Norton would return to host its live coverage for the 12th consecutive year.
“I’m both excited and nervous,” he said. “I’ve heard it’s being staged as a test event. Being in a Rotterdam arena with 4,000 people before I’ve had my second jab will be quite something, but bring it on.”
The Eurovision final takes place on Saturday 22 May.
