Hannah Gadsby's Netflix comedy special, Nanette, is a study in vulnerability, which many have described as "a masterpiece" [1], so it comes as little surprise that Emma Thompson [2] is a fan. Hannah candidly discussed her meeting with the legendary actress on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [3] on Wednesday night, admitting that at first, she wasn't all too familiar with her work: "I knew she wore a bonnet in something." Upon meeting her, however, Hannah says Emma's lack of "reading the room" meant that the two shared a deep, teary embrace — later followed by a rather interesting first text.

Nanette covers topics including toxic male behaviour, a conversation Emma has also explored when addressing the Harvey Weinstein scandal [4] as a "crisis in masculinity". Watch the video on the emotional encounter above, then relive Nanette on Netflix now.
