Emma Thompson's Family Threatened to Kick Her Out of Their House- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

I love Emma...no matter who interviews her, she is always witty and fun and talented and gorgeous!

[lucthenerd]

She's just among the most hilarious, witty actors/celebs out there. Totally love her. The self-deprecating humor ("people looking at the piano to maybe buy it, and wondering if I came with it"). Just love her!

[AnnieNYC]

Her comedic timing is just impeccable! :) She's a cool gal!

[Hollins]

I could listen to her talk all day! I just love her.

[wsking]

She really is a consummate professional. And a wonderful, joyful enthusiastic person, in spite of all the curves life has thrown at her. A great example to us all of how to bounce in the right direction. Long may she reign!

[baffledbumblebee]

This woman is so damn hilarious. Love her! What a great interview!

[ritchiebesas]

she was superb in The Children Act. you can really feel her pain.

I wonder how many people walked by that shop and said to their friends "Oh she must have hit hard times... playing for tips in a shop like that.. Poor woman..."

[thisisme]

I keep forgetting she started out as a comedian. And, she keeps reminding me.

[OldRaver]

She is such an easy interviewee (is that a word?)
One of those people you wish was one of your mates.
Love her (and her hubby is just ridic delish!!)

[mickyblessy]

1:38 🤣🤣.."whether i came with it".. She's a real life phoebe sometimes 😆OMG and the most wisest person I've seen onscreen ❤️😍

[HRHDMKYT]

“I’ll have my revenge... someday”, says Emma Thompson. The mind goes wild imagining exactly what that would look like. Cliffhanger!

[vanessacarlos]

Emma Thompson, you are simply fantastic!!

[NewMessage]

"🎶How much is that Thompson in the window...🎶."

[halflanding]

Emma Talented
The piano shop story actually made me laugh out loud

[cherrimullins]

There are no bad moments with Emma...always delightful!!😁❤💋

[girlwhomustnotbenamed]

The Crown is the new Harry Potter, everyone is in it LOL (except Emma was in HP, obviously :P)

[marjanp]

"I'll have my revenge in some way" 😂🤣

[maryrosekent]

I want someone to make a movie that has Emma, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet (🎶reunion🎶) and Tilda Swinton. It doesn’t matter what it is, *someone just needs to make it happen!*

[bellasampson]

"Allooring" Alluring, "Ahhluring" ahhhh.
