Rhys Ifans and Howard Marks appeared on "The Late Late Show" on 1 October 2010 to discuss "Mr. Nice", the British independent film in which Ifans portrayed Marks. During the interview Ifans was playful with Tubridy, at one point referring to him as a "dainty little bugger" in reference to his cross-legged manner. The incident followed on from Ifans's playful request to buy Tubridy a drink. Tubridy
Ryan Tubridy said, "Uh absolutely" then tried to ask Ifans about his latest film. Ifans said, "It's called "Neverland" and uh, it's a prequel to "Peter Pan". Yeah? OK? Are you familiar with that?"

Tubridy thanked him for the compliment then Ifans smiled and said "Dainty little bugger" to laughter from the studio audience. Tubridy is a UNICEF ambassador.
