Roman Kemp has opened up about a tense interview with a James Bond actor who nearly reduced him to tears.
The One Show presenter, 31, has interviewed some of the world’s biggest celebrities throughout his time on the BBC show and during his presenting gig at Capital FM – which he did for seven years.
Speaking on the Therapy Crouch podcast with Peter Crouch, the former Liverpool footballer asked who his best and worst interviewees had been.
Revealing the awkward encounter, Roman – whose father is Spandau Ballet singer Martin Kemp – replied: ‘One person nearly made me cry. I was only young and it was for James Bond.’
Roman beeped out the name of the Bond star and confirmed it wasn’t Daniel Craig, but then said that the actor was as intimidating off-screen as he is on it.
