Sir Tom Jones' Graham Norton Interview Had Everyone Thinking The Same Thing

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Sir Tom Jones put in an appearance during Friday night’s edition of Graham Norton’s show, impressing viewers with his vocal prowess as he performed his latest single.

However, his unusual wardrobe choice also generated a lot of conversation online.

The 80-year-old crooner was seen sporting a black overcoat (was he not worried about not feeling the benefit when he left the studio??) with white detail as he chatted to Graham about his life and career.

And it seems Sir Tom’s interesting fashion choice had a lot of people making the same joke on Twitter…

Watching Graham Norton and swear down Tom Jones looks like he's just walked in from a 9-5 painting job.

Why is Tom Jones wearing what appears to be a painter's coat?

Did he just throw on his dog walking coat to head out to The Graham Norton show?

At the end of the episode, the Welsh singer performed his latest single No Hole In My Heart, and wowed pretty much everyone watching with his voice…

Tom Jones has one of the most unique voices to sound so unbelievably amazing even at the age of 80 when most of his contemporaries have called it quits or don't sound as great as their youth phase.#GrahamNorton

Oh my gosh. You are amazing. I keep seeing comments saying "wow, for 80 years old Tom Jones sounds great." I'd correct those comments to say "wow - Tom Jones sounds great no matter WHAT age he is." This is a wonderful song!!

Following his appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the long-serving coach on The Voice’s name even began trending in the UK as fans commented on his performance (and, it has to be said, his jacket).

Discussing his continued passion for singing during his interview, Sir Tom said: “I love it. I sing around the house; I sing even when I don’t get paid for it!

“I love to sing; I really do and any chance I have to get up and sing I will.”

Sir Tom closed the show with a performance of his new single

He also revealed he’d recently received his second Covid-19 jab, saying he now feels “bulletproof”.

“It’s a great feeling,” he added. “I thought, ‘I’ll be able to go out and do some live shows now’... but then I thought, ‘You’ve got to have an audience for that!’”

The Graham Norton Show continues on Friday night at 10.45pm on BBC One.
