Jimmy Fallon Says Celebrities Privately Tell Him Their Movies Are “So Bad” — GeekTyrant

Jimmy Fallon has built The Tonight Show into a lighthearted late-night experience since taking over in 2014. From his hilarious “Thank You Notes” to those viral lip-sync battles and celebrity sketches, Fallon has made his show a place where stars can relax, laugh, and even poke fun at themselves.

But apparently, that relaxed vibe leads to some surprisingly candid conversations backstage, including a few confessions about how bad the movies they are promoting are.

In a recent interview with Forbes, Fallon revealed that guests sometimes pull him aside and admit that their latest projects suck. Fallon shared,

“I’ve had guests on where they’re, like, ‘I hope you didn’t see this movie, it’s so bad.’ I’ll just be, like, ‘We don’t have to get into details. There’s always something good about every project.’”

Classic Fallon, always keeping things light and positive. While some hosts might dig in for a juicy soundbite, Fallon prefers to focus on the fun.

Fans of the show know he’s great at spoofing movies with his guests. There was that time he and Jamie Lee Curtis recreated her aerobics scene from Perfect, or when Michael Keaton joined him for a kid-scripted version of Birdman.

Fallon clearly loves movies, the good and the bad, and it’s not exactly shocking that some stars aren’t fans of their own films. Halle Berry famously roasted Catwoman while accepting her Razzie Award, and recently, Dakota Johnson didn’t hold back when talking about Madame Web, saying she wasn’t surprised it got “ripped to shreds” by critics.

Whether or not an actor loves their film, Fallon’s charm ensures they’ll laugh about it.
