-
You know, the first time you were here was one year ago this week.
-
- Really? - It was your late-night debut.
-
-Oh, my God. -I was your first talk show. -Yeah.
-
-And you were talking about "Crazy Rich Asians" which went on to, like, dominate the world. -It was crazy.
-
It did like, a quarter of a billion dollars and people were just blown away by it.
-
I mean, that's... it was only made for, I think... I think I'm right about this $15.
-
They made the film for...
-
-That's a lot of profit. -Yeah. A lot of profit.
-
-Where's my back end? -Yeah, exactly.
-
- That was your first big break that we know of. - Mm-hmm.
-
But actually your first big break was hosting a travel show on Malaysian TV?
-
Yes. I had this, like, crazy idea while I was working in London to head over to Malaysia and attempt to be a travel show host.
-
So I asked, you know, my buddy to put together a little showreel for me.
-
And then when I went over to Malaysia, I would have like something to do or or something to give to these producers and stuff.
-
So you sent this videotape...
-
Was it a videotape or was it DVD?
-
I think I showed one person because it was so embarrassing.
-
Like, I was the most terrible, terrible presenter ever.
-
But it got you the job.
-
No, I think I had to go in person because they were like, "Man, this guy is bad."
-
Like, "he needs to come here."
-
Really? How was it that bad?
-
Do you remember it at all, doing it?
-
- You were in London? - Yeah, I was in London going around the East End trying to sort of be natural and not really understanding what to do with my hands or my arms.
-
You know, I'm laughing because we here at "The Tonight Show" don't mess around. We actually found...
-
Shut up.
-
We actually found the footage that you sent to one person.
-
- Oh, my God. - Your life's about to be over.
-
Here's the never before seen audition tape that you made...
-
Literally no one has seen this. How the hell did you...
-
Travel show host. Let's take a look.
-
Oh, no. Hey, I'm Henry, and today we're headed to the East End of London to check out Brick Lane.
-
Noodles.
-
I'm crying. I'm literally crying.
-
- You've destroyed my street cred. -No, no.
-
I had to. I had to. Please, please, please.
-
- Oh, my God. - It got you where you are. - It worked.
-
I guess it worked. Yeah, yeah
-
- It worked. - I love it.
-
- A lot of pointing and... - I hate you so much, Jimmy Fallon.
-
I love it. It's fantastic.
-
I can see you blushing right now.
-
- I'm so red. -Let's talk about this big movie you're in. -Yes.
-
"Last Christmas." We're about to debut the trailer for you guys here and at home.
-
Never been seen before.
-
I am so excited about this.
-
It's based on the Wham! song "Last Christmas."
-
That's right. Emma Thompson wrote it, and she's a phenomenal, phenomenal human being.
-
Did you get to hang out wit Emma Thompson at all?
-
- Yeah, we... - She's the coolest.
-
-She's the absolute coolest. We actually went for...
-
It was kind of like a Sunday lunch.
-
We were kind of invited around to her house, which is so lovely.
-
And she's got these beautiful kids who are far too intelligent for their own good.
-
I do remember we sort of had this moment in her living room, and the living room is kind of this huge library of books and things.
-
And everybody went out to sort of set the table, and I was like, "I got to just make a quick call."
-
I'm calling my wife, and I'm kind of sat in this chair.
-
I'm just looking at this room. I'm like, "Oh, look.
-
There are all the awards."
-
The awards are like on the top shelf.
-
- BAFTAs and Golden Globes. - BAFTAs, Golden Globes, like, writers awards.
-
I'm like, I know she has two Oscars somewhere around here.
-
I need to find them. So I'm like kind of looking around.
-
Nowhere to be seen. I'm like, she must have locked them up. She must have, like, put them somewhere really secure.
-
- At a museum somewhere. - Exactly.
-
And so I start heading back to the living room and the dining room.
-
And I thought I'll just go for a whaz.
-
Or just a wee for all of the Americans out there...
-
A wee.
-
- A whaz okay. - And so I'm sort of...
-
I'm conducting business.
-
And then suddenly my eyes just reach these two Golden statues in th toilet, and they are the Oscars.
-
- You took a picture of ... - I did.
-
Emma Thompson's bathroom. Look at this.
-
- I had to. - Look how amazing that is.
-
How cool!
-
- Oh, my God. - How cool is Emma Thompson.
-
The craziest thing is, like as soon as you turn to the left of that picture, there's a mirror there.
-
So she's placed that specifically so people can like, bring it up to them, and sort of have this, like, cheesy smile in the mirror, and, like, pretend they won an Oscar.
-
- Which, of course, I did. - I was going to say, did you do it? - Of course I did.
-
She knows how to do that stuff.
-
Well, what can we say about "Last Christmas?"
-
- Do we set anything up? - Oh, my God, yeah.
-
I mean, it's a beautiful rom-com set in London at the most magical time of the year.
-
London is beautiful at Christmas.
-
It's stunning. It's stunning.
-
Emilia Clarke plays a young lost character who is very cynical about the world.
-
She was sort of a failed singer.
-
She meets a boy. They go on dates.
-
And it's just one of the most tear-jerking, hilarious movies you'll ever watch, so...
-
For the first time ever, here is Henry Golding in the exclusive world premier of the "Last Christmas" trailer. Take a look.
-
- What? - Jesus, where'd you come from?
-
- Well, what are you looking at? - Might be a falcon.
-
Oh, damn it!
-
- It's good luck, you know? - What is? - Getting pooed on by a bird.
-
I'm busy. You're weird. Goodbye.
-
Here we are.
-
Is this the bit where you murder me?
-
- So what is it that you do? - I sing.
-
- Oh, that's amazing. - Anyway, boring, boring, boring.
-
I'm not bored.
-
I'm a mess.
-
I was really sick and I nearly died, and they just expect me to be normal.
-
There's no such thing as normal.
-
You're going to make mistakes.
-
You're made of everything you do.
-
- You can't be in here! - No, we're leaving!
-
- There we go! - Ow!
-
"Last Christmas"!
-
Oh, yes.
