BBC One’s The Graham Norton Show continues to deliver the big names and this Halloween is no exception, with Keira Knightley and acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Hozier among the guests.
A Night of Stories, Laughter, and Music this Halloween on The Graham Norton Show
Front and centre on Graham’s famous red sofa will be Keira Knightley, the two-time Oscar nominee known for Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, and Love Actually. Knightley joins the show not to discuss her latest film role, but to talk about her new venture as a children’s author. Her debut picture book, I Love You Just the Same, is already generating buzz for its tender message about family and acceptance — themes she says were inspired by her own experiences as a mother. Expect plenty of warmth and wit as Knightley opens up about writing for children and balancing Hollywood with home life.
She'll also discuss her current Netflix thriller, Cabin No. 10.
