>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!
WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW"!
FOLKS, YOU KNOW MY FIRST GUEST TONIGHT FROM "TWILIGHT," "THE
CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA" AND "HAPPIEST SEASON."
SHE NOW STARS AS PRINCESS DIANA IN "SPENCER."
>> THE BEST THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS SO FAR IS BEING WITH
THE FAMILY, SO -- >> I SAID I WANTED THE TRUTH!
SORRY, SIR.
PRESENT, SIR.
PRESENTS ARE THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS, SIR.
>> NOT IF YOU CAN'T OPEN THEM.
THAT'S TRUE.
SO, HARRY, THE BEST PART OF CHRISTMAS SO FAR AND I KNOW I'LL
GET THE TRUTH FROM YOU, SIR.
>> WHEN YOU ARRIVE, MOMMY.
THANK YOU, SIR.
SIR.
>> MAJOR WILLIAM TO SOLDIER DIANA, TELL THE MAJOR WHAT
HAPPENED TO MAKE YOU SO SAD.
>> SIR, TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN, SIR.
>> SOLDIER.
IR, THE PAST SIR.
I THINK IT'S THE PRESENT, SOLDIER.
>> I THINK IT'S IN THE FUTURE.
>> STEPHEN: PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO THE LATE SHOW, KRISTEN
STEWART!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WE'VE NEVER
DANCED.
>> WE'VE DONE SO MANY THINGS BUT NOT THAT.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO HAVE YOU BACK.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.
IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN HERE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IS IT SOMETHING I SAID?
>> IT WAS JUST A GENERAL VIBE.
>> Stephen: ADMITTEDLY, TWO OF THE FIVE WERE CONSUMED BY GLOBAL
PANDEMIC.
HOW DID YOU RIDE IT OUT?
A LOT OF PEOPLE TOOK UP NEW HOBBIES LIKE BAKING OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT.
DID YOU DO ANYTHING NEW?
HOW DID YOU ADJUST?
>> GOSH, THERE WERE SO MANY WAVES OF ADJUSTING AND
READJUSTING.
LET ME START AT THE TOP.
I PROBABLY STARED AT A WALL, CRIED A BIT, WAS SCARED, DRANK
TOO MUCH, GOT VERY HEALTHY, READ A LOT, MADE A SHORT FILM AND GO.
I MADE A HOLE IN ONE ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: PAR THREE.
THAT WAS LIKE A TEN-SECOND OCCURRENCE OVER THE COURSE.
WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR PANDEMIC TIME?
I MADE A HOLE IN ONE.
YOU'RE, LIKE, YOU'RE REALLY HIGHLIGHTING THE COOLEST ONE
MOMENT OF YOUR EXPERIENCE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE BEEN UP TO.
YOU SKIPPED BIG NEWS.
YOU GOT ENGAGED.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
HOW'S YOUR FIANCEÉ DILAN?
NOW, IT'S VERY EXCITED TO GET ENGAGED.
THEN THERE'S AULD WEDDING PLANNING.
ARE YOU IN THE DEPTHS OF THAT BECAUSE THAT COULD BE
CHALLENGING IN THE PANDEMIC, FINDING A SPACE, KNOWING WHEN TO
SET A DATE, ALL THAT STUFF.
>> YEAH.
I WANT TO HAVE, LIKE, A BIG PARTY OR SOMETHING.
I'M SO UNCEREMONIAL.
I THINK WE MIGHT JUST GO DO IT THIS WEEKEND OR SOMETHING.
AND THEN JUST HANG OUT WITH EVERYONE AFTERWARDS.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
YEAH.
I JUST WANT TO DO IT!
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE, SURE.
THAT'S NICE.
>> I'M NOT A GOOD PLANNER.
I CAN'T MAKE PLANS.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH.
I LIKE TO PIVOT.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, MAN.
COME WITH ME.
>> Stephen: I WILL.
I WILL.
DON'T INVITE ME TWICE.
WE JUST SAW YOU A LITTLE CLIP THERE PLAYING PRINCESS DIANA IN
SPENCER.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE.
WAS IT DAUNTING TO TAKE THAT KIND OF A ROLE?
BECAUSE SHE'S SO WELL KNOWN.
SHE'S BEEN PLAYED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE.
WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU WERE FIRST OFFERED THE PART?
>> I WAS GENUINELY SURPRISED.
IT'S KIND OF, IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHOOSE THE PATH OF LEAST
RESISTANCE, I WOULDN'T GO FOR A KID FROM L.A. FIVE-FIVE WITH
GREEN EYES AND HAVE A SHAVED HEAD AT THE TIME.
IT DIDN'T REALLY MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO ME.
>> Stephen: WHEN THEY OFFERED YOU THE PART YOU HAD A SHAVED
HEAD?
>> I TOOK CHUNKS AND CHUNKS.
I WO WORE A WIG IS THAT THAT'S E OTHER THING YOU DID OVER COVID.
>> WORE A WIG?
>> Stephen: FAKE CHUNKS OUT OF YOUR HAIR.
>> WELL, THIS IS IS BORING.
WE'RE ON TV.
>> Stephen: I'M GRIPPED.
NOTHING YOU'VE SAID SO FAR HASN'T INTERESTED ME.
>> THAT DESERVES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: SO, AGAIN, YOU'RE
OFFERED THE PART, AND HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> WELL, I JUST THINK THERE WOULD BE NO VERSION OF GETTING
IT PERFECT OR RIGHT.
I DON'T EVEN THINK AT LEAST REALLY A VERSION OF DOING A GOOD
JOB.
IT'S LIKE DOING YOUR JOB AND GETTING AS CLOSE TO SOMEONE
PERSONALLY AND ABSORBING THEIR SPIRIT AND ENERGY AND
TRANSFORMIC THAT INTO A DIFFERENT FORMAT WHICH IS A
PIECE OF ART AND NOT REAL LIFE, AND I JUST LOVED HER AND I
THOUGHT, THERE'S EVERY REASON -- SHE'S BEGGING TO BE SPOKEN
ABOUT, AND JUMPED ON.
AND I JUST THINK, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SO MANY VERSIONS OF THIS
STORY RIGHT NOW IS WE KIND OF NEED HER.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT WE'LL BE RIGHT
BACK WITH MORE KRISTEN STEWART, EVERYBODY.
STICK AROUND.
