>> 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 ( 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.
