Jonathan Ross welcomes two of Tinseltown’s hottest young properties, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, to the Ross sofa on this week’s Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on BBC One.

Reprising their on-screen partnership in must-see super hero movie Spider Man 3, Tobey and Kirsten talk about the demands of creating such iconic roles:

“At first I thought I’m not sure about that kind of movie,” admits Maguire, “there are times I can’t tell the difference between when I’m doing my own stunts and when it’s CGI,” and after Spider Man 2, “I kind of let my weight go, it was great eating all those cookies and doughnuts!”

“Men like blondes but redheads attract a different type, I liked having that,” says Kirsten, who’s currently in London working on Simon Pegg’s new film. “Another [Spider Man]? We’ll do another one, I think so.”

The Spiderman 3 movie hits the cinema on th 4th of May.

Jonathan also welcomes to the show Sarah Brightman, who graces the Ross sofa sporting eight-inch platform shoes (”my boyfriend said you can’t wear them, they’re strippers’ shoes, I said I can, it’s the Jonathan Ross Show”).

She extols the virtues of ex-husband Andrew Lloyd-Webber, saying: “He doesn’t look bad at all, he’s got the most beautiful eyes. He’s really great with women, he makes them feel really good about themselves … he’s gentle, very appreciative.

“Well-endowed? I was put in a difficult position when I said that … there are many great things about him, that was what popped out. I had his lawyers on the phone to me the next day [but] a week later he changed his tune.

“I haven’t seen any of his shows [Joseph] because I haven’t been here. If I was beginning now and wanted to get into the business I would definitely have gone in for an audition, especially for the shows that Andrew puts on. He really knows what he’s doing … very classy, very real.”

She also reveals her choice of her perfect singer: “I haven’t sung with Pavarotti, he’s absolutely brilliant. He may have his off days but that voice is perfection and no one else touches him … he’s probably too big but you have to be a sturdy shape to carry that music.”

And she hasn’t ruled out a return to one of her most famous roles: “I’ve been asked to do the sequel to The Phantom Of The Opera, but I don’t know.”
