Former cricket star Freddie Flintoff left actor Jason Isaacs feeling traumatised after an awkward question was asked.
On Saturday night, Flintoff and Isaacs were guests on the latest episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, alongside Rebel Wilson, David Oyelowo and Sophie Willan.
Flintoff, 47, spoke about his horrifying crash while filming for Top Gear, which left him with broken ribs and severe facial injuries, ahead of the launch of his Disney+ documentary.
Meanwhile, Isaacs was speaking about his role on HBO's hit series, The White Lotus, during which he plays a character named Tim Ratliff.
To those who are not familiar with The White Lotus, Isaacs went viral after a nude scene was shown in one of the episodes.

As Isaacs and Ross spoke about the scene, the actor said: "Freddie’s getting very nervous now," before the host began to say: "Freddie, we should explain…"
At this point, Flintoff cut in and admitted: "I don’t know what the f**k’s going on here."
As a result, Isaacs, who has also starred in Harry Potter, said: "Can I ask Freddie a question? I’m in a film called Death of Stalin, in which I played a Yorkshire man.
"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."

He continued: "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?"
However, Flintoff was quick to correct Isaacs, he replied: "I’m from Lancashire."
Trying to save the actor's skin, Flintoff spoke about some of the people he’s played cricket with who were from Yorkshire, but Isaacs was clearly left a little embarrassed.
“That was nearly one of the most traumatic moments of my life,” he said.
Speaking about his near-fatal crash in the trailer for his new documentary, Flintoff was heard saying: "I remember everything about it… it’s so vivid.

"I’ve lived under the radar for seven months, one of the real frustrations was the speculation, that’s why I’m doing this now, (about) what actually happened."
