Tom Hiddleston impressed The Graham Norton Show audience on Friday evening as he gave them a demo of his signature dance move. 

The actor, 43, joined host Graham Norton, 61, to discuss his role as Benedick in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing on Friday. 

They were also joined on the red sofa by Brie Larson, 35, Billy Porter, 55, and Claudia Winkleman, 52, who all spoke about their recent endeavours.

At the beginning of the show, Tom discusses the plot of the play with Graham and revealed he and the cast spend most of their rehearsal time dancing. 

He said: 'It's the most beautiful play, it's so full of warmth and light and wit and it's got a big heart. And in our production, it's full of dancing.' 

Graham asked: 'Yes I've heard that rehearsals are fifty percent dance,' to which Tom joked back: 'We turn up in the morning and the first hour is dance hour, very useful for working off the mince pies.'

He added: 'It's just such a lovely thing to do in early January, is dance first thing in the morning.' 

Graham jokingly asked the star: 'Is it like freestyle or people teaching you choreography? Is it like everybody dance now.'

Tom confessed he hit the nail on the head: 'Well you've hit on something there which is interesting.' 

Brie chimed in by asking Tom: 'Wait what did you hit on? What did he hit on?' as she pointed towards Graham. 

Graham then asked: 'Is it just improv dance?' 

Tom admitted: 'The party It's not like Swan Lake you know, but the party is the sort of party that you recognise.'

'It's like a wedding or a birthday party, big celebrations. So everybody's still getting up and doing their sort of signature move.' 

Brie asked him: 'What's your signature move?' to which Tom said: 'My signature move is just keep swimming.'

After completing his signature move, the celebrity guests and audience loudly applauded the star. 

Last month Tom attended the opening night of Shakespeare's The Tempest at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London. 

Tom looked incredibly dapper in a blue suit as he posed up a storm on the carpet alongside his co-star Hayley Atwell, 42, and British director Jamie Lloyd, 44. 

As he smiled for the cameras, Tom completed his look with a pair of brown leather Chelsea boots. 

Sigourney Weaver joined the afterparty in a black jumpsuit teamed with a bejewelled cropped jacket.

The 75-year-old actress made her West End debut as Prospero in a new production of William Shakespeare's play The Tempest while Tom and Hayley star in Much Ado About Nothing. 

The two plays are part of a season of Shakespeare by The Jamie Lloyd Company at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

They are the first plays by the Bard to be staged at the theatre since Peter Brook's production of The Tempest starring John Gielgud in 1957. 

Each play is directed by Jamie, who previously staged Romeo And Juliet, which starred Marvel actor Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers in the title roles, in the capital.

Alien actress Sigourney plays the storm-creating magician Prospero in the new staging of the Shakespeare classic The Tempest, in a role typically played by a man.

The production opened on December 19 and will run until February 1 2025.

Meanwhile, Tom and Hayley play sparring enemies-to-lovers Benedick and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, which will run up until April 5 2025.

Loki star Tom said earlier this year: 'Working with Jamie Lloyd on Harold Pinter's Betrayal was one of the most fulfilling and meaningful experiences of my performing life.'

'I could not be more thrilled to have been given the opportunity to collaborate with him again, this time on one of Shakespeare's most warm-hearted and joyful plays: Much Ado About Nothing.'

'It's an honour to have been invited by Andrew Lloyd Webber to bring Shakespeare back to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, in a season alongside Sigourney Weaver in The Tempest, and to be working with the great Hayley Atwell for the first time.' 

Captain America actress Hayley added: 'I am thrilled to be joining Jamie Lloyd's company for the third time in my career.'

'His bold and electric direction, combined with the warmth and wit of one of Shakespeare's most celebrated comedic duos is a truly exciting opportunity and one that I hope will delight our audiences.' 

'I look forward to working with my talented friend Tom Hiddleston and bringing The Bard back to Theatre Royal Drury Lane.'
