“Let’s stop there for an anecdote.” Graham Norton is chat show genius. 😂

[@Dontincludeme]

I always love when Judi's on. She's so much fun.

[@hipnhappenin]

Emma J in such an understated way too

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

She seems like a lovely person. A lot of these English actors and such seem very nice and normal. I think celebrity in England is much different to American celebrity, much less of a separation to being a normal human.

[@joerandella2526]

To be honest i think its just that in the Graham Norton show people are allowed to be laid back and chill out unlike other talk shows

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

Joe Randella No, I don't think so. Although this is a laid back show, through observation of American fame and English fame the two seem to be quite vastly contrasted. I think it's due to the emphasis and importance of being rich and famous in America, whereas in England it's more an appreciation of the art - but the individual must still stay grounded and continue their study and other work. Fame doesn't really seem as important to the English, on a general scale.

[@hipnhappenin]

KidsWithGuns1992 I think Americans are more spoilt. But I think celebrity status is the same. I've heard of celebrity worship in Britain being just as bad as in the US. Judi Dench is special because she found fame late in life, so her formative years weren't affected by Hollywood. And to play devils advocate--many British actors are professionally trained, so they're more about the craft, I guess, than the fame.

[@hipnhappenin]

Debbie Lough yeah, fame meaning Hollywood fame

[@beth12svist]

I also think the theatre acting does play a part, because there you always have a live audience reacting right there, so there is definitely less separation!

[@2eleven48]

There's something about dench's face that is endlessly fascinating, mesmerising. And, of course, the beautiful tone of her voice and eloquence of speech.

[@hestergreen2031]

Judi Dench has a lovely sense of humor. Makes us laugh every time..she is such a beautiful sweet soul

[@porcusuxor]

She's adorably hilarious! Loved the part when she imitated the fish lying on its side 😂😂😂

[@PtolemyJones]

My intro to her was As Time Goes By. Wonderful show.

[@marythomson6951]

They say that Judi Dench has a great sense of humor, and they are right.

[@simpledaylife]

such a delight to see her smile/laugh.. she always does the dramatic roles

[@operabilia]

It's amazing to see Dame J.D. "all natural", speaking with such ease and natural, just after having seen (and LOVED) 'Mrs Brown' ... Couldn't help addressing her 'Mrs Brown' or 'Madam', or 'Your Majesty'! She was (as he always is) REGAL and commanding. LOVE her. Bless her.

[@gordonm7038]

A national treasure. A fun and classy lady. Billy says he loved being with her. If you can make Billy laugh you have power!

[@kerra3699]

The fish doubled in size, wow, Judy has golden breath!

[@fionanicolson2021]

WOW!! What a riot she is. No superficial aires. Just an amazing beyond talented Lady.

[@SureFineWhatever]

Ooohhh she's so lovely, I could listen to her talk and laugh with her for days!

[@JohnnyMac95]

"It was thanks to Harvey Weinstein" Ooooh, we'll not be hearing that line again...

[@Lucyverre]

Yeah, what a shock that is now

[@m.kirstenhittner3337]

Still there in 2024. 😊

[@robertBuckinghamB-uh5nx]

She’s an absolute joy just so lovely bless her❤️❤️❤️

[@Hirschbergs]

God bless Dame Judi, she's a brilliant person and amazing actress!!!)))))

[@javi.rt9790]

He’s now called Lazarus, that fish. LOL

[@thegeneralissimo470]

I knew her a long time ago, from "as time goes by"

[@malabar900]

She did a series before that called A Fine Romance (1981) with her real husband Michael Williams. She is a lovely lady.

[@Lisa_Capri]

I don't know how many times I watched As Time Goes By - many years ago when I was already living in Italy and had the great good fortune to have access to BBC Prime. Wonderful rapport between all the cast, loved it, the best of British TV, and there was much of IT then. 🤗👍

[@ZoesZoo]

I adore her. I didn't know she was such an animal enthusiast and had all those pets; but I think we'd get alone, because I'm the same way :)

[@Mrkti]

I'm sure she will be relieved to know that.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Yeah, right, you'd wish. What's up with you fans thinking you are ''the same'' with your idols? What makes you think she would want to ''get alone'' with you as if you're so special and she has nothing else to do???

[@aomidori62]

Oh dear me... I love her. She is so beautiful inside and out!!!

[@lmordro]

I love that spitake at the end. She's a true artist.

[@birdsarecool6448]

I totally believe her about the fish. My dad rescued my goldfish by doing the same!

[@jaytops]

Dame Judi was in A Room With A View with Maggie Smith that was before Bond and Mrs Brown

[@TheMrgoodboy2]

That dying impression though... and from a dame, too ! 🤣🤣🤣

[@leonkane8570]

OMG Everyone looks so young here, even Judi Dench :)

[@renfordmalcolm]

amazing amazing amazing!!!!!! love her!!

[@mlafontaine01]

Thanks for sharing...love Judi Dench!

[@bigbulk688]

I always enjoy Dame Judy Dench. She’s hilarious and innocent at the same time.

[@dericksmith9758]

A class act.

[@hipnhappenin]

Judi looks especially beautiful here. She seems like such a nice pleasant woman.

[@megancarroll4910]

“Thanks to Harvey Weinstein” well this is awkward...

[@lailarahmaini1392]

megan Carroll I know right?

[@sirjenkochhar5371]

megan Carroll my reaction exactly

[@butcherbaby1714]

Well it was a long time ago when it was shooted

[@janettetrolan1841]

Am sure that Weinstein said sh had his initials tattooed on her bum. But she said that she just had one in latin - her first tattoo at 80 years old - on her wrist. Why would he lie?

[@hanstun1]

Dench made a fake tattoo of his name on her ass and showed it to him claiming that it was real. According to her in the middle of a restaurant. She tells the story on a different Norton episode.

[@robertfencl4401]

I adore this woman!

[@millietrusttum3125]

I love Judi! She’s so much fun.

[@fionanicolson2021]

She is so wonderful, so funny, so unassuming but a super talented lady.

[@jonathaneffemey4892]

Thanks for posting.

[@pasqualerusso7050]

I Love Judi Dench....so talented....so funny ....so sweet..... Long Live Queen Judi

[@immaculateboy]

Dev Patel is a gorgeous man. Oh mah gawd.

[@ShaliniMohanBass]

After achieving such accolades, she can still laugh at herself. Sign of a wonderful human being.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Uhm, most talented and successful people are humble. That's normal.

[@joanna6991]

'use your pashmina as a mop!'

[@athenathegreatandpowerful6365]

Sue Perkins ROCKS. Love love love Judi Dench.

[@jessahoward8237]

I am american but i fell in love with judi dench because of the As Time Goes By tv comedy series 😊

[@tenderheart17]

With Geoffrey Palmer. What a wonderful show that was

[@Sandrae7560]

Me too😁, I came across it quite by accident and have loved, loved it..and very happy to say I've seen the entire series 😁😁

[@nobodyshome4633]

Dame Judi is such a joy xx

[@amyclarke41]

a star😀

[@mirakimber6333]

Judi Dench laughing is my happy place

[@lindapullan6937]

I love Judi Dench. I saw a wonderful clip of her with Johnny Depp rehearsing a scene for one of the Pirates of the Carribean films, Johnny was totally in awe of her.

[@shannonpierce3838]

Omg she is hilarious! I love her. ❤

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

Please do a judi dench, Julie Walters, Maggie smith show

[@robertfencl4401]

There's nothing like THIS dame!

[@10anshul98710]

Everyone's dream granny: Judy Dench

[@OFBI7]

JUDI DENCH ES MARAVILLOSA.

[@roderickfemm8799]

I thought there were lots of Americans who knew her from As Time Goes By, but nobody mentions it. I guess in the UK it wasn't the hit that it was here.

[@TheMrgoodboy2]

It is stupid that people hate all people talked or prasied Harvey. These artists were talking about his contribution to the movies, not his sexual Preditory life. He made lot of good movies possible. So people who were in those movies naturally talked about him and thanked him those days. So what is wrong with that?. Now adays, no one will mention his name. But I am sure even now most of the well known artist still thank him silently in thier hearts because he made thier careers. When they do that, they are not thinking about Harvey, the infamous sexual preditor, but Harvey the movie producer who produced so many good movies that helped them to build thier careers.

[@muttlee9195]

Same thing producer pervert inexcusable on any level the things he did were repugnant. It may be people were not fully aware of the extent of his abuses.

[@nazmcapkn7655]

How Dev Patel's face involuntarily reacts to the name Weinstein... Priceless!

[@linrob1312]

This was years before Harvey was outed...

[@anoldgryphon]

She's lovely of course.

[@SARGENTO007A]

She looks so different!!! 😮

[@tommoclement]

Just LOVE Dame Judi.

[@nickthelight]

@22 seconds; "thanks to Harvey Weinstein" - there's a phrase that you'll not hear in a positive light again!!

[@MrTargenor]

i LOVE JuDI!!!!

[@Rashi0220]

Dev ❤😘😍

[@debbierazavi5353]

Beautiful lady 💖🙏🏻💞🎥😍

[@troyancheta3803]

Lol, she called the fish Lazarus

[@debbierazavi5353]

Beautiful lady always ❤️🎥👏

[@helenabright5741]

😹BRILLIANT. Giving her fish the kiss of life. Aww!!!! 🐟🐬🎭❣

[@marcuc89]

I have seen a bit from it but, what is the name of the show at 1:09 ?

[@zeadification]

+Marcus Swisher mrs browns boys

[@marcuc89]

Ty , appreciate it

[@Karin_Allen]

It's not every celebrity who's laid back enough to wipe off her face with her scarf.

[@chrisaultman1]

A Judi Dench spit take. I can die in peace now.

[@jayboykalos]

What a beautiful legend... Perkins doesn't deserve to be on the same sofa.

[@63bplumb]

She is SO wonderful! Unlike that old cranky one that always talks about hating the public and anything she has worked on!

[@user-rz7jf9iw1t]

‘Thanks to Harvey Weinstein.’ Oh Jesus.

[@rogefedwon]

Harvey winestain…

[@Crumpet67]

Dev is so hot I could die.

[@curtwall7089]

Mrs brown from brendan o carroll

[@MichaelSHartman]

Such a dear.

[@centigradz]

harvery weinstein name dropping

[@grumbygrumble2762]

President Ronald Reagan and Nancy stayed at a diplomats home while in Iceland. A child's goldfish died while they were there. The President sent an agent to the pet store to replace the fish because he didn't want the kid to come home to a dead fish.

[@zyxw2000]

I didn't like his politics, but he seemed like a nice guy privately.

[@andrewjohnston9115]

First lady that ever said thanks to Harvey Weinstein....

[@traviswillhoite4256]

You know it’s an old video when she says “thanks to Harvey Weinstein.”

[@karenkaler187]

😄

[@hadjoudjmehdi7606]

I am jealous of her grandchildren.

[@kattengat2]

All hail Harvey Weinstein

[@belugaabs]

harvey weinstein??

[@MichaelSHartman]

A fish blown up twice his size. I bet swam farting. She is a special one of a kind. RIP

[@Blakter19]

umm she's still alive...

[@MichaelSHartman]

Arron That's great. She is one of my favorites, and I felt bad when I heard she was gone. My happy mistake. Thanks.

[@MHScrat]

I shit myself for a second there! I had to go and search whether or not she was alive to calm myself xD

[@barneyruble7013]

lying on the top ..... over heated tank ....
