Kate Winslet shocked viewers of The Graham Norton Show by revealing an outrageous question Eminem asked her on Saturday Night Live.  

The actress, 50, made the shocking revelation while discussing her 'terrifying' experience on the live comedy show back in 2004. 

Giving a hilarious lack of context, she said: 'I have to say something else, and this is a story I've never, never told Eminem asked me to shave his bottom.' 

Graham asked: 'Was it a handheld razor?'

Kate replied: 'Well, he did. He said, Would you shave my butt? And I said, I'm sorry. I don't. I don't do personal grooming.' 

The comment went down a storm when it was shared by The Graham Norton Show to social media, with fans remarking: 'What is it about this show that brings out the most randomly chaotic stories.'

Other viewers joked: 'I NEED more context as to how it happened that he would ask her that!!';

'Because personal grooming is, well, personal. Shave your own ass Eminem. WHY would he have asked her? I need more context.';

'Well, imagine the tale Eminem could tell if Kate has said yes.';

'I'd do the shave.'; 

'I guess all rappers are freaky.'; 

'I feel like we need confirmation from Eminem about this story...'

Offering some much-needed context, another viewer wrote: 'What [Kate Winslet] failed to mention is, it was in a sketch. Eminem‘s character asked Winslet's character if she would shave his backside.' 

Elsewhere in the interview, Kate explained that her appearance on the show came after Jessica Simpson was berated for lip-synching on Saturday Night Live. 

Kate recalled: 'It was the week after Ashley Simpson was done for lip syncing, right? I met on with Eminem and I was doing publicity for a film called Finding Neverland at the time.

'Johnny Depp and I had to miss the Wednesday rehearsal because we had to go to Chicago and talk to Oprah. And I'm thinking, "Oh my God, what's the opening monolog going to be?"'

She continued: 'Still, they're like, "We're just, you know, trying to figure it out." I'm like please tell me - it's a couple of days away, just what you're going to have me do the next day. 

The actress was then asked if she could sing and she said 'a little', which prompted producers to ask if she could tap dance and she said yes. 

She was then given the monumental task of learning 'Nothing's Impossible' in just 24 hours and had to sing and dance to it live.
