During a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson found herself in a humorous situation when she inadvertently posed a suggestive question to Benicio del Toro regarding a bathtub scene from his latest film, The Phoenician Scheme.
The film, which premiered on May 31, features del Toro as a wealthy businessman, Zsa-zsa Korda, who names his daughter, Liesl, a nun, as the heir to his estate. During their discussion, del Toro shared insights about the challenges of filming a scene submerged in water, revealing that spending too much time in a bathtub often leaves one looking “crinkly like a prune.”
When Clarkson joked about how he managed to avoid looking pruney after long hours in the water, her comment took a cheeky turn as she became aware of the double entendre. The exchange elicited laughter from the audience, prompting Clarkson to quickly clarify her intent. “No, no, no! I did not mean … I am way too tired. I did not even mean that,” she exclaimed, playfully scolding the viewers while maintaining her lighthearted demeanor.
The Phoenician Scheme is not only notable for its stars, including renowned actors like Michael Cera, Scarlett Johansson, and Bill Murray, but also showcases the comedic charm of Clarkson, who continues to engage and entertain her audience with her relatable personality.
This lighthearted moment highlights the fun nature of talk shows and the unpredictable interactions that can arise between hosts and guests. It’s always refreshing to see celebrities showing their genuine selves, embracing the laughter that comes from the unexpected. The film is currently showing in theaters, enriching the cinematic scene with its talented cast and interesting storyline.
