He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script I\u2019d written for the \u2018Opalite\u2019 video, where he was playing the starring role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isn\u2019t mandatory,\u201d she said. \u201cTo my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the \u201990s with us and help with this video. You might even recognize some friendly faces from the Eras Tour.  I had more fun than I ever imagined. Made new friends, metaphors and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters.
