"Did those words really just come out of my mouth?"

Kelly Clarkson, visibly flustered, took a moment to compose herself after accidentally dropping a risqué remark during a conversation with guest Henry Golding on her talk show.

During Thursday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the star of Crazy Rich Asians visited to discuss his latest film, Guy Ritchie's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Golding noted the unique energy of New York compared to other locations and casually mentioned his recent breakfast choice: a pastrami sandwich.

"Is that typical morning routine for New Yorkers?" Golding inquired. The audience disagreed.

"So, that's considered a faux pas? Darn it. I was just craving a pastrami sandwich," he lamented.

"Did someone mention it's a quintessential New York activity?" Clarkson inquired.

"Negative," Golding countered. "I phoned a friend and mentioned, 'I'm enjoying breakfast. Planning to indulge in a pastrami sandwich.' Their response was, 'That's peculiar. Meat for breakfast? Unconventional.'"

"Steak and eggs," Clarkson replied, then casually remarked, "I'm fine with meat for breakfast."

Realizing the unintended innuendo, the host chuckled in defeat, rose from her seat, and walked away from Golding, who joined in the laughter.

"Seriously?" she exclaimed to the audience. "Did I really just say that?... Well, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Golding is presently featured alongside Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Cary Elwes, and Eiza González in Ritchie's latest spy action comedy. The film revolves around a motley crew of soldiers recruited by the British military to combat German forces in World War II. Golding recently embarked on a New York press tour, which included a visit to Today earlier this week, accompanied by his colleague Henry.

"Filming with Guy is a rollercoaster of surprises," remarked Golding during the show. "You might arrive in the morning with one idea about your character, but within just 10 minutes of the first take, Guy could shake things up, saying, 'Hmm, not sure if that's quite right.' It keeps you constantly alert and adaptable."
