Liam Payne Was Shoved by Jay Z’s Bodyguard | The Graham Norton Show

David I I you you get invited to all sorts of things were you in holidays when I think it was Brian Ferry invited you today oh yeah well I was um at a very nice hotel in Turks and caos and Brian Ferry was also staying there and I knew him a little bit and Prince was there as well wow this was a few years ago and um yeah glad you can see the funny side and um and Brian said would you like to come over and have dinner with Prince it's like well this is a

once in A- lifetime opportunity and so yes of course it's quite awkward conversation cuz Prince doesn't say much and Brian Ferry isn't that talkative and so sort of sat there nothing much to say and Prince doesn't ask any questions you go what do you do well you're my favorite judge and BR has Got Talent or anything like that and uh there's a magazine there with a picture of Florence and the Machine and I say oh you you know just trying to make conversation know Florence machine they both going no no don't know I said oh

you know she just did that that brilliant cover of that dance song they went which dancece song we know that one you know you got the love they were Prince I don't I don't know I don't know the song like you know that song you know you got the love I need to see you through sometimes I feel feel I'm singing to Prince and Brian the most embarrassing moment of my life and they looking at me blankly like I'm mad like I've made up this song it was horrible and when Prince left it was that

amazing sense of relief really many famous and sort of you just desperately want it to end to sort of say that you've met them but you want it to be over that was horrible but I mean I had that with P Diddy I went over to say hello to P Diddy and Jay-Z was there and um Leonardo decaprio S I think you've dropped enough names okay I think people thought Prince and Brian Ferry was good we don't need to hear about other people in the room just stick stick on the people the story is about

so I went over and I thought I was trying to think who's the easy Target in this scenario who's the one that you go to to say the hello and I'm thinking I saw him and Get Him to the Greek I'm going to go over there and say hello to him so I thought P did he so I went out to shake his hand and I shook his hand and he just I a nice to Mee and you going but the longest handshake ever and I'm like sat there looking in P his eyes like when

is this going to end and then and then the worst of it happened the worst of it happened there was a whole thing where Jay-Z and I went to leaning to speak to him but you can't lean in to speak to Jay-Z you're not allowed to to lean in and his bodyguard just like shoved me like this and I went flying across the room and I was like right I'm just going to go and sit over here with that golden me thank you that's enough very awkward moment is weird that people kind of live like

that it's so I have to say prince I know that people that sometimes he was quite but I was very good friends with prin he was one of W David now my one dinner is meaningless now let me tell you something he was so funny he was not that night not that night I that night but he didn't crack jokes but he had a strange sense of humor you know like we'd go somewhere and and he'd say things like uh I I I I would start going for the food like I always do and he

I would like try to get something and he'd be very serious like this in a PO and he would go hold my hand said sister stay away from the buffet that's advice he's right I'm stealing that that's fine I need to he was so fun I'm so sorry you didn't get to meet him well I did get to but where we went it wasn't a buffet it was a sit down dinner you went to an all you can eat buffet with Prince but uh that was actually quite a smart hotel but thank you thank you
