On a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Rebecca Ferguson made an appearance to discuss her role in the upcoming film adaptation of the sci-fi classic, “Dune”. Ferguson, known for her roles in “Mission Impossible” and “The Greatest Showman”, plays the character Lady Jessica in the highly anticipated film.
Colbert started off the conversation by jokingly welcoming everyone back to “your friendly neighborhood Late Show”, reinforcing his reputation as a talk show host who never fails to entertain. Ferguson, who looked stunning in her appearance, received a warm round of applause from the audience.
Colbert wasted no time in getting to the point. He reminded Ferguson that the last time she was on the show, she had admitted to not having finished reading the book “Dune”. Laughingly, Ferguson confessed that she still hadn’t finished it. She acknowledged that she had been lying in previous interviews but appreciated the opportunity to finally tell the truth.
The conversation took an interesting turn when Colbert asked Ferguson if her character’s role improved in the sequels. Ferguson, unable to provide any insight since she hadn’t read them, playfully thanked Colbert for being the reason why she hadn’t read the book yet.
Moving on from the book, the chat show host steered the conversation towards the film itself. He commended director Denis Villeneuve‘s ability to capture not just the narrative but also the atmospheric essence of the “Dune” universe. Ferguson confessed that she got so excited talking about it that she had stopped listening, displaying her infectious enthusiasm for the project.
The conversation then shifted towards the star-studded cast of “Dune”, with Colbert highlighting their attendance at the premiere. Ferguson named Ana Taylor-Joy, Sua Yak, Zanda Timothy, Jason Momoa, and more as part of the extraordinary group of people involved in the film. She seemed to get along well with everyone but joked that her click was just her by herself, pretending to text random people.
Colbert couldn’t resist bringing up a humorous moment involving Ferguson and Josh Brolin. Apparently, Brolin had a habit of sending heartfelt and poetic videos to Ferguson, which she tried to match in her responses. She even adopted a different way of speaking to seem cooler in the videos, much to the amusement of her wife.
The conversation took a hilarious turn as Colbert asked if Brolin had sent Ferguson a long video for his birthday. Ferguson confessed that she didn’t receive that particular video but praised Brolin’s sentimental messages, jokingly referencing the possibility of receiving semi-nude videos from his steam room.
To everyone’s delight, Colbert had a surprise for Ferguson. He revealed that he had a clip of Brolin’s video on his phone. Colbert’s genuine excitement added to the overall liveliness of the conversation, showcasing the unique charm of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert“.
As the segment came to an end, it was evident that Ferguson’s infectious energy and personality had left a lasting impression. Viewers were undoubtedly left eager to learn more about her journey in “Dune” and what surprises the film has in store.
With the release of “Dune” just around the corner, the anticipation continues to build. Fans of the book and newcomers alike are excited to see Rebecca Ferguson‘s portrayal of Lady Jessica in this highly anticipated sci-fi epic. Stay tuned for more updates and interviews as the release date approaches.
