Jason Isaacs 'traumatised' after Freddie Flintoff corrects him over question about his personal life

Jason Isaacs was left feeling ‘traumatised’ after Freddie Flintoff had to awkwardly correct him.

The pair of stars appeared on last night’s (19 April) episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, alongside Rebel Wilson, David Oyelowo and Sophie Willan.

During the episode, Flintoff opened up more about his near-fatal Top Gear crash as it’s set to be shown for the first time in his upcoming documentary on Disney+, Flintoff.

While Isaacs chatted about filming The White Lotus, his Harry Potter legacy and his new film, The Salt Path.

But the actor nearly lost his cool after asking the cricket legend about his personal life.

Except before they got to that, Flintoff was feeling awkward himself thanks to some references you’d probably need a bit of context to understand.

Jonathan Ross and Isaacs were joking away about the actor’s now notorious nudity in The White Lotus, while the Bullseye host seemed in disbelief they were chatting so much about penises.

“Freddie’s getting very nervous now,” Isaacs pointed out as the host began to say: “Freddie, we should explain…”

But he was cut off by the cricket star saying: “I don’t know what the f**k’s going on here.”

Turns out he wasn’t one of the viewers gripped by the HBO series for the past few weeks, so isn’t exactly in the loop with the character Timothy Ratliff and that robe.

So, Isaacs tried to get him involved in the banter and moved along the conversation.

“Can I ask Freddie a question?” the Harry Potter star said, as Flintoff doubled-down that he wouldn’t be ‘getting his pants off.'

“I’m in a film called Death of Stalin, in which I played a Yorkshire man,” the actor, who grew up in Liverpool and London, explained.

“And I did it because when I read it, I phoned the director and said, ‘Can I play in Yorkshire?’ Because Yorkshire men are the bluntest, most honest people I’ve ever met.

“A, you don’t have to tell me if you’ve seen it, but is that true – do you think that Yorkshire people are more honest than the rest of the country?”

And while this seems like a nice, fair little chatty question, it’s actually a bit of a fumble on Isaacs part.

“I’m from Lancashire,” Flintoff corrected him – well, blunt and honest I guess.

He tried to save it for the star’s sake as he talked about some of the people who he’s played cricket with that are from Yorkshire, but Isaacs was clearly left a little embarrassed.

“That was nearly one of the most traumatic moments of my life,” he said.

Ok, that seems a bit dramatic, but mistaking a famous person’s accent for the totally wrong place when you’re quite well known for doing different accents is at least a little bit embarrassing.
