I love how he calls her Ma.

[@NatJac-gg3mv]

Many Americans call their mom. "Ma" as well. Its very common.

[@SS-os3xp]

Me too ,so sweet

[@sayakchoudhury9711]

In my language Ma literally means mother!

[@ammccoy2142]

My grandson's mother(my daughter-in-law) passed away when he was two yrs old. When he was older, he asked if he could call me, Mom. I told him, I'm your grandma, not your Mom but you can call me Ma. So that's what he calls me. I'm Ma to him.

[@wuestion9473]

But in Pittsburgh, moms are mums.

[@Camanea12]

Didn't realise Ed Sheeran was her grandson.

[@sjbock]

This guy is better looking though.

[@hakunamatata1352]

I love seeing how much he looks like Judi! I mean, hes not her son, but grandson. Still, it is easy to see the resemblance. So cool.

[@anon3308]

Hakuna Matata they do say certain traits skip a generation 👍

[@adejokebakare]

I was just going to say that 😀

[@snowbloodapple]

You sir didn't fail me.

[@teambeining]

She’s the one who taught him all these jokes when he was a kid.

[@Jae-rz8vk]

I was thinking it's like a memory game for her

[@selmaa8678]

Yes it is

That's a bloody good one !!

He probably said all of those to her when he was 6

[@jeffc168jb]

Lol, she’s just been around long enough to have heard most of these jokes! I’m half her age and have heard a few myself 😂

[@upbeathightuned9152]

Forget about "clever" this woman straight up smart when it comes to jokes

[@wanderer1955]

Nah!! Ed Sheeran arranged it with "ma" before filming began.

[@rabidbunny1013]

The fact that she loves him so much to still answer him and not get annoyed 😂 JUDY. DENCH. IS. A. QUEEN!

[@codent]

"A National Treasure", as someone said...

Legally... like he gets arrested or fined if I he doesnt?

[@mogamadgreyson143]

They are sooo cute!!!

The moment you realize your grandparents are/were way cooler than you'll ever be. 🤣🤣

[@Rubylove48]

Staged or not, they have a lovely relationship. And he adores the pants off her. 😍😍

[@wanderer1955]

You just planted an image of Judi Dentures in her pants, in my mind🤢 I may never get over this.😱

[@jhowardsupporter]

Can't even look at people that old. I'm committing suicide when I get to 60 or 70 or so. Once my body stops working properly I'm outta here amigos!

[@Rubylove48]

@@jhowardsupporter I think old people are beautiful and are undervalued in modern western culture. They hold wisdom and experience. Sad that you are too brainwashed by Botox culture that you can’t see that. Ps her body seems to be working fine. And many young people are physically debilitated but choose to carry on in spite of being physically limited.

[@jhowardsupporter]

@@Rubylove48 Yeah just get her to run up a flight of stairs like she used to be able to and you'll see. DNA has these tails on it called telomeres and the get shorter through life and when they get critically short you become elderly. Yes if you switch off the telomerase enzyme you will stop aging but then you'll die of cancer. See we are actually thinking clone the body and transplant the brain into it. Go from 100 years old to 10! Not you. The better amongst us.

[@Rubylove48]

@@jhowardsupporter Great. Thanks the pop medical jargon, I am a real doctor and understand real science. what a sad life you must have. There are elevators nowadays, not everyone needs to run up a flight of stairs for no reason.

[@0r0r0]

We'll never know if this was staged because she's too good of an actress.

[@leeus20007]

The only one that made me think it was staged was bison not bi son

[@veronicaue180]

I don't care if it was staged. She's so awesome. Definitely on the top 10 best actor/actress list worldwide since.. like forever. Her humor is perfect and that air of British coolness is the best.

[@samrat447]

I don't know why but I love the fact that he calls her Ma.

[@user-hb4zz4gh5e]

I’m so jealous. Imagine having DAME JUDI DENCH as your grandmother 🥺❤️

[@gingersnap3736]

She has said her grandson looked a lot like Ed Sheeran.....she wasn’t lying.😃

[@post8760]

You cant beat half century of life experience and knowledge 😁

[@julius_the_python]

Half? Try nearly FULL century. But your point is still very valid. 😅😁

[@artemiskingsley]

Now I finally understand what she meant at the Graham Norton Show that his grandson looks like Ed Sheeran

Wtf Judi Dench is a man? 🤯

That's a lovely Grandma-Grandson relationship❤❤❤

[@donnariggs1567]

Dame Dench is one our favorite actresses. "As time goes bye" is one of our favorites!! Watch the series pretty regularly...6" nails was a great one. May she live forever such a class act always!!!!!! AND still BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

[@rotties-rules]

Grandson asks the question and we get to watch Judy take a moment to run through her memory to pull up the answer: brilliant.

[@DavidRROYALE]

love the "Ummm.." from Judi Dench everytime she tries to crack the joke

[@joko09010]

Now that’s s one grandma/grandson relationship act that’s hard to follow!

[@oldreprobate2748]

Judi is a treasure that we've enjoyed for decades, and decades to come. Precious woman see is.

[@lindaboo3220]

Dame Judi is one of our all time favorite actresses and we will watch anything and everything she does... we still watch As Time Goes By....

This is one way to keep her mind active and well. He’s not only bonding with her but also helping her stay healthy and well. Sweet activity to do with elderly loved ones.

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

I think it's scripted, lovey, but you may already know that... Nothing wrong with Dame J's brain, though. Her eyesight is apparently not fabulous these days, but boy, is she ever sharp as a tack! And delightful, to boot. :-)

[@claires1177]

Love their bond!!💞

[@y1521t21b5]

Has to be one of the coolest grannies alive ;-)

[@gigidodson]

I ADORE Dame Judy, she is a treasure! Is so lovely to see her enjoy her grandchild. There is nothing better than having a close fun relationship with ones grands. I think mine are the absolute best ones. I got all the best ones. 😁

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

Lucky woman! Have to say, my kids are pretty fab, though... maddening, but also bright and funny and loving and cute. They're a grandma short, as of four years ago... if you weren't already occupied, I'd probably ask if we could borrow you for the job - you'd ace the interview!

Nothing better than a nan’s hug, other than a take down. 😂😂😂😂💖💖💖

[@davida6146]

Part of me thinks it’s staged another part tells me she’s been long enough to have heard all of these

[@brief402]

I feel you, But after each question she says umm then looks up at something... I think shes being fed the answers, especially since it's not a continuous clip :(

[@flav2689]

I think the latter. Sure, someone could give her the answers but it looks more like she is thinking and trying to remember them. Partly it is staged nonetheless. Grandson has inherited his grannys acting talent, I see. 😂

[@jenpitre9444]

@@brief402 I don't know if it's true but i once read that if a person likes up when replying, they are searching their memory for the answer. If they down they are lying...

[@MelissaThompson432]

@@yvellebradley2502 lol! My mother ignored me a lot because she focussed so much on what she was doing, and I took to calling her annoying things because it would get her attention.

But she answered....) Yes, happy memories....
