“I don’t want to be typecast,” he joked to Stroumboulopoulos. “I started that shit! Go back to [Led Zeppelin single] ‘Immigrant Song’, and Led Zeppelin being part of a cultural exchange between Iceland and the Icelandic government. They didn’t really know what they’d invited onto their little island.”
When asked what type of part he was offered on the show, Plant defers to his publicist. “It was undecided,” they respond off-camera. “I thought I was gonna ride a horse and go…” Plant joked, before lifting his head with a dramatic scowl.
