Will Smith has asked Lin-Manuel Miranda to help him with a one-man stage show.

The King Richard actor couldn't resist asking the Hamilton creator to give him a hand on a project he has been developing "for years", as both stars appeared on the taping for Friday's (26Nov21) episode of The Graham Norton Show in the U.K.

"This is probably a terrible thing to ask at this time, but I want to do a one-man show and I would love you to help me do it," he said. "I have had it in my mind for years and I think you are the one of one in this business."

Lin-Manuel, who was on the show promoting his new film Tick, Tick... Boom! via a video link, seemed shocked but didn't turn down the offer, replying, "You heard it here first!"

During the taping, Will also revealed he hates filming "sex scenes", stating they are "the worst part of acting".

"When you watch it in a movie there is music and wine but on set there is some big dude holding the microphone, chewing and watching you," he explained.
