Martin Freeman Can Tell 'Office' Fans from 'Hobbit' Fans

James welcomes his guests Martin Freeman and Pete Holmes, and James asks Martin about the many types of fans he has thanks to the array of roles he's played, and Martin admits he's gotten pretty good at figuring out what work of his people are a fan of before they say hello. And Pete Holmes tries really hard to do the Tim/Jim face that Martin and John Krasinski mastered.

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

Martin Freeman, The Office, The Hobbit, Sherlock, Fargo, The MCU ... this man not only walked among legends, he let them shine more than ever

[JustNess]

For those familiar with the American Office, but not the British Office, what Martin was saying is he auditioned for the part of Garath, AKA Dwight, but ended up getting the part of Tim, AKA Jim :)

[WillGrayCoopcontrol]

Plot twist: I'm a fan of everything he's done

[Izzy-mhui]

This interview really made me realise how much James shouts literally everything he says, it was quite aggressive compared to how chill Martin is

[garyking]

He built an entire career off of reacting to people’s stupidity

[riekyu]

martin freeman seems like the type a guy that will be fun to hanging out

[CameraHam]

I realized 2 things from this:
1. All of Pete Holmes’ comedy is for himself and other people just happen to also find him funny
2. James is what British people think Americans are like, Martin is what Americans think British people are like.

Martins face when he says “Love Actually” could cure cancer

[leolindberg]

I love that Martin keeps addressing that Oliver Hardy invented that Tim/Jim-eyeballing. Even tho nobody listening. Laurel & Hardy forever. And Office

[johnsmith-frqj]

Even though the movie version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy isn't the best version, Martin Freeman is the actor that I think of when I think of Arthur Dent.

[omarz]

'" i'm a huge fan of kimmel" lol

[kirstenb]

Pete Holmes be like y/n with the "Imagine, you're in a coffeeshop and you see Martin Freeman just sitting there with tea wyd"

[thephoenix]

I’m a fan of Martin I love his dry humour and blunt approach!

[charlie]

That "SOY LATTE?!?!?" should win an Oscar tbh

[LineCad]

Sherlock and Love Actually fan here, but he's brilliant on everything really. Great actor and very intelligent man.

[XxMangaLoverxX]

James getting defensive and telling Pete to calm down when he starts shouting at the crew is the best thing ever.

[rupertmurdoch]

I love the office and the hobbit, but this man made my favorite movie of all time, and I don't see it anywhere in the comments or video. SHOUT OUT TO Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

[chai_knees]

At the beginning
Martin: I just want to take a sip of this water

[harrybetteridge]

"Let me give it to you naturally" yes has to be Love Actually.

[anavangogh]

You should get him on the show more often, Martin is just legendary😂
