Michael Sheen branded 'self-centred' as on screen prank by Michael ...

Hollywood star Michael Sheen faced some playful teasing from comedian Michael McIntyre for being "self-centred" during his appearance on BBC One's Michael McIntyre's Big Show.

The esteemed 55-year-old actor took on the 'Send To All' challenge in the riveting episode that aired Saturday, naively handing over his phone to McIntyre for a live audience text prank.

Reflecting on his initial enthusiasm for the stunt, Sheen confessed during the January 25 show: "It all seemed like a very good idea when I was first asked. Now it seems like a very bad idea."

With his partner Anna Lundberg and her Swedish mother Ingrid by his side, Sheen observed from the VIP area as McIntyre rummaged through his phone apps, broadcasted on a massive screen for both the theatre attendees and home viewers. A humorous highlight was the revelation that Sheen's last IMDb search was, amusingly, of himself.

Defending his actions, Sheen explained: "Listen, sometimes... Sometimes, I have to look myself up, alright? Because I forget what I've been in."

Displaying his Welsh loyalty, Sheen's second-latest lookup was the beloved British sitcom Gavin and Stacey, reinforcing his roots and affection for the widely popular television series, according to a report from Wales Online, reports the Mirror.

McIntyre was wary about opening his notes app, questioning, "Is notes a bit personal? " Sheen, with a grin, suggested he better not. However, McIntyre couldn't resist and stumbled upon a page detailing Sheen's work history, which was actually a bio for one of his projects.

The comedian found it amusing and mockingly branded Sheen as self-absorbed while reading out the information. He then explored Sheen's photos, discovering a plethora of selfies showing the actor in various places and costumes, including a snap at Port Talbot Steelworks beside a sign that said "total quality", his severed head from Twilight, and an image of him with a handlebar moustache, which Sheen joked was from "when he played rugby for Wales in the 1970s".

McIntyre pointed out the evident theme of narcissism in Sheen's photo collection, observing that every picture featured the actor himself. As he scrolled further, he encountered a collection of stuffed animals that Sheen had gathered as inspiration for a TV segment where a toy needed to talk.

Describing the pictures as the "creepiest thing he had ever seen in his life", McIntyre chuckled together with Sheen, who earned praise on the show for being such a "good sport".
