[@Michelle-rv9ks]

She must be the most humble actress I’ve seen

[@MHiggins]

Michelle Have you watched her performances. The movies she made was incredibly funny and she was never a comedian. That is what was profession.

[@ishmaelforester9825]

shes so adorable

[@jennief7114]

Literally went to make the same comment! So I will just give the credit to you!

[@thomasp.crenshaw185]

she has a real potty mouth

[@makaveli4205]

I remember her from scary movie. She looked a lot different with dark hair.

[@leonking4843]

I think it's fascinating and really humanising to see such a famous actor have stage fright when it comes to being herself

[@kevinflemming1982]

Anna is a wonderful person. I've been a fan of her since the first Scary Movie. Sweet and compassionate. The shyness makes her even more sweet lol. I love her personality even more now.

[@aasiefpillay]

She's not used to public speaking yes but most people aren't. She's funny and insightful.

[@kerymauvais7367]

Came here after hearing about this in her appearance on the Empty Inside podcast. Both that episode and this video have been very illuminating about who she is and I appreciate it.

[@leoindrayana4724]

i love anna faris

[@mohammednasseif9210]

She was so charming and sweet. I love her!

[@esmeraldajimenez7810]

I have seen almost all the scary movies I haven't seen number 5 I will watch but I will definitely will miss Anna Faris in last movie❤️

[@ninjaslayer6787]

Omg. She is so humble and such a worldwide famous actress yet still have stage fright. It somehow makes me feel more personal to her as we are all human beings at the end of day and being not afraid to admit your vulnerability and fear do not make you any less accomplished

[@jacquesscholtz9603]

"It's good acting, isn't it?" Hahahaha that sent me

[@steveneardley7541]

Loved her in Smiley Face.

[@matthewsnyder674]

"My friend likes it...because he has a really short attention span." Best underhanded compliment of *Love Actually* ever 😂😂😂

[@bettywith2girls]

She's a wonderful actress, and I think she's very funny...I love her in "mom" too. But I saw her and the rest of her "mom" cast for a Paley Center discussion, and I was surprised just how really shy she was. I see that here too.

[@Vinsomer]

Shame she's leaving Mom, I'll miss her. :(

[@87654321j]

She reminds me of Goldie Hawn in the way that people expect her to be the stereotypical blond and act silly yet she's one of the smartest most talented actresses in Hollywood

[@rdumoulin1]

so was this filmed in december ? chris pratt apparently filed for divorce on dec 1st (imdb). She's holding up pretty well considering.We love you Anna !

[@TerryHenson]

Honestly that's the first thing that came to my mind during the opening ten minutes. She seemed like she was going through a breakup.

[@bubbles6853]

a break up/divorce doesn't have to be a horrible thing. It can be a well calculated, rational decision. Not everybody is an asshole, you know.

[@pottingsoil]

@@bubbles6853 Not everything is calculated and rational you know?

[@luismata7059]

What a pretty woman!...she's beautiful.

[@robertoarroyo2434]

I have watched this interview 8 times, and whenever I see it, I find it so profound and honest.

[@darkangel8068]

only 8 times?

[@thomasp.crenshaw185]

she swears a bit too much. bit disrespectful to oxford.

[@markdiaddario6398]

She is so sincere and interesting, intelligent.

[@marcus8258]

She's so likeable. Our generation's Goldie Hawn!

[@Wondwind]

She’s a pure spirit. I just love her.

[@carolgrahek4407]

Um um um um um …. Great character in the sitcom mom. Was wondering how she handled outside life obviously it’s difficult.

[@deadbird1229]

I adore Anna. I think she's an intelligent and thoughtful person, but not one who was gifted with the best articulation-she simply has trouble effectively communicating what's in her head.

[@samanthalucas8070]

ANNA FARIS SHE IS A GOOD ACTRESS

[@dukebubblebutt3671]

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? (Cindy)

[@kaivrock]

At first I thought it was a sketch. Anna Faris gives advice to Oxford students, ha ha. She’s smart as a whip and funny as hell “Here, you try it” as she fake stabs the host and telling him she “wants a quote” when he says he love Scary Movie.I’d love to hear about her financial success She’s worth $70 mil.

[@XavierGuillaume]

"Don't shoot a horse in the mouth!" Oh my god! Anna Faris is like me, I f*** up expressions ALL THE TIME! I was an English major, but I have the toughest time with words...

[@EmmanuelGoldstein74]

I like this. Here is this A list actress who is shy when public speaking. I mean this isn’t spectacular here but that’s ok. She’s like everyone one of us would be nervous being in front of people. It makes her human. She’s seems like a cool chic. Pratt’s loss. Hey Ana! Wanna go out with me? I’m a nice guy.

[@jonaswunderkind4580]

Love her!

[@weedwinner88]

Dear Anna Faris I really love your work, I really want to say that you are a really awesome character woman style person, I was always following your voice in my head since as kid when I had 5 years old, especially with the song from Ready or not Fugees. Is like a connection with Malic in the Deus Ex. Yes I was only 5 years old and I had the exact baby siter with such name the same Anna. I don't know why I had such connection, but for sure please stop crying, because I was the same crying in the most uncommon situation. I don't want to say that I'm telling to much about myself. But In all these 6 or 7 years ago I mean now I have 35years. I was always praying for a good relation ship with a good kind girl the same Anna. I think somehow your voice the same was conducting into overwatch Diva. The same is like you were in the cast scene. Regarding the Church of course I respect the Anglican Church. I know how to kiss an Icon and I know or even I can read about Saint Anna. Is just in all these 6 years of surviving here in my country Republic of Moldova. When I see how many wrong and bad thinks has done our teachers, our prayers, our community and not only. Regarding the movies I can say one is 500 days of summer. Is just even when I hear the kids outside I play with them only in the Church, but it seem like in the song of Marina about bein spending time with unloved kids, how can I describe the pain in my life, when for example I see that woman from Moldova became so unrespect full or the man are so bad acting behaviors. Is hard to find someone that you really can trust. I will not say something about violence in family, but for example sometimes I really feel like when I'm going to our Church and praying for someone really special as a woman that can be my wife in the future, look how they are treating us. Is like our prayers were cursing us but not blessing US. It's a shame for my entire country Republic of Moldova kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpvFiWWnoa6aqNk I really don't know how to explain or to say why. I guess you know why, but me no :(( Just look when one Canadian student learn for a period in 2 years he can grow and glow himself so high. But me look at me, what does my country has done in all these 7 years of surviving. It should be a kiss generation by generation. But sometimes it feels like no one wants to change himself and to make thinks right. Hope that my text message will change people and let them know what is the difference between curse and bless. I don't have a proper wife and to create for myself and grow our proper kids. Let the guides of Jesus be by your side. I know the video has 6 years, I sow you. Really good human bein Anna! Please do not improve into movies like "her" ((( into reality (((

[@angelsRsinging]

Wow...a REAL HUMAN BEING :)

[@betty1271]

Love Anna Faris, especially in Mom. She's a little bit kooky and I find her really captivating when she talks. I do wish Hollywood actresses wouldn't use the word 'like' all the time though.

[@rdumoulin1]

me too, love that show

[@darkangel8068]

OMG Wow..

[@icuranis4597]

Loved her appearance in Entourage, I enjoyed having a favorite funny girl written into my favorite show. She could rear end me any time. 😉

[@Herb-bu7wz]

I enjoy her work. She seems to be a nice person. But ‘m losing my mind trying to listen to this. OMG. Massively shy or high as hell.

[@tkenglander6226]

Shy, I think. She's able to focus on the host pretty well. :-)

[@PowerHouse1987]

Anna Farts

[@jasoncha1973facup]

LMAO there's always one 👀

Was this a joke invite? Anna we love you, but why?

[@nicholaswilliams5396]

2:58 2:59 She said the “F” word?!

[@ViceroyoftheDiptera]

Oh how awful!

[@KatnissBradshaw]

I love her but it's painful how slow she's talking

[@rdumoulin1]

sheès being asked questions that she doesn't have answers to in her head. she is thinking them up as she goes along. i think its brave.

[@dna26.]

Shes sweet af 😍

[@joepglass]

She’s high

[@GinoNL]

Pills/sosa? You are right anyway

[@rdumoulin1]

her husband Chris Pratt (yes starlord) did just file for divorce a few weeks prior, cut her some slack.

[@volodymyrzakolodyazhny]

She is open, open-minded and deeply-thinking human. This is strange for most of ppl.

[@steveneardley7541]

She is NOT high. She is just shy. How do you think a girl that attractive could be lonely throughout all her schooling? She was obviously withdrawn and lacking in social confidence.

[@guillermofiscal4897]

lmao this is the cringiest thing ever

[@harrypotter9050]

i wish she stay young

[@lievemerel2408]

She is high, i can tell that. But she still charming and lovely.

[@seife41]

? ofc you can tell that...

[@whitecloud_94]

Wtf is she talking about lol.

[@bob2000and10]

The quality of guests just keeps going down and down

[@deliman7203]

I'm surprised myself with this guest, but she seemed very uncomfortable and intimidated.

[@GinoNL]

She’s used some pills or cocaïne. It’s very obvious for people that know it

[@scouser2010ify]

Joe Felony don’t be stupid... I’m an ex addict she’s definitely not on pills and coke trust me and as for guest quality I like her she’s pretty funny 😄

Addicted to pills for sure

[@volodymyrzakolodyazhny]

No.

[@SirBeauJangles]

can't help but wonder why they engaged this inarticulate and pretty charmless american who is clearly in no way any kind of public speaker... who I'd rather liked in the films of hers I'd seen, but none of which latter buoyed her through this awkward appearance. Hard work, this one.

[@aintmyshit]

She made no sense whatsoever....thank God in her profession that other people write her words

[@rdumoulin1]

i bet you didn't watch the whole thing. oh well, another elitist douche with a D.

Unfortunately i did watch the whole thing..... that's an hour of my life i wont get back...... Elitist??? ..... I think your girlfriends thighs have been blocking your ears...
