Emma Watson confesses she was afraid to go back on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon because of an embarrassing mistake she made the first time she appeared on the show.
‘Welcome back to our show, is it all flooding back to you?’ host Jimmy Fallon asked.
‘The trauma, the post-traumatic stress of my last performance on the Jimmy Fallon show,’ she joked.
Emma explained how she confused him with other late night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel.
‘Before you even start the interview, I just drove straight in there and said ‘I love that Halloween candy thing that you do’ and there was just silence,’ she said.
Fallon tried to change the subject but Watson pressed on: ‘No, when you get kids and you trick them,’ she said.
‘And I said, that’s Jimmy Kimmel — the first time we met,’ Fallon said, before they both burst out laughing.
Although the Beauty And The Beast actress can joke about it now, she said the experience left her mortified.
‘I died inside, turned bright red,’ she admitted.
‘You were so sweet because you could tell that I was dying inside and you said ‘it’s okay honey, if you want to go out and start again, we can do it again.’
The pair ended up re-doing the interview, much to the amusement of the audience.
