She’s just so natural - no pretense, no forced charms, just pure light. What I’d give to grab a beer and have a nice chat with this brilliant woman.

[lauramackenzie]

She is a perfect mixture of intelligence, class, talent and humour.

[teuntje]

She's so random. She's so intelligent. I love her so.

[googleuser]

She has the most stunning facial expressions, she's so captivating.

I feel like Colbert should just interview Emma Thompson every night. This was everything.

[amphetameanqueen]

Guests like Emma are just not on long enough. She could talk for half the show and not get boring...Stephen, keep interesting people on the show longer!

Emma Thompson's coolness is of a delightfully scrumptious and quirky nature. Such a fine and funny woman.
She is one of my favorite actresses/actors indeed!

We can admit that Stephen reacted faster than the speed of light to jump into that dance ! This made me so happy ! I absolutely adore Emma Thompson. "Would you like a drink ? YES !!!"

[stellashepherd]

I love her and I appreciate she’s looking fabulous without high heels.

[piffpaff]

What a self-esteem she's got! There seems to be NO stage fright at all, just pure joy of entertaining people. If there are any fears - she is hiding it pretty well. Awesome!

[MimiDoubleOH]

Literally impossible taking your eyes off of her. Mesmerizing, classy, charismatic. What a treat.

1:09 I love it how Emma just brings him in to dance as he's about to step on the stage and he goes along with it. So cool! 💕😘🥰☺️

[juanor]

So far, the best entrance of any guest. Stephen managed the situation magnificently.

[ebbandflowph]

For all the great work she's done, still so underrated. Definitely up there with Streep and Dench and Mirren and Davis.

[iyhamdolfin]

RESPECT to one of the BEST of actresses we have on today

[vuxdinh]

She has such a wonderful and natural sense of humor. Sharp, intelligent and unique. She is such a gem in film industry with her talents.

[pmsavenger]

I want to be Emma Thompson when I grow up. I've said that for almost two decades now, so it is a bit of a work in progress. Still. It's good to have dreams!

[annabambamjerky]

"It really is tempting to... boil him" lol I did not see that one coming

[sadiqmohamed]

As an older Englishman, I have to say that I adore her. She is smart, funny and beautiful, and I am told by friends who have met her a delight to be with. Thank you for having her on, and for dancing!

I'm in my twenties and I think she's insanely gorgeous.
