Now that his Late Show is coming to a close, Stephen Colbert is no longer playing it cool about which of his celebrity guests have made him sweat.
On the Wednesday, May 13, edition of the “Strike Force Five” podcast, Colbert, whose show ends May 21, confessed to his fellow comedy team of Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and John Oliver about which stars have made him swoon.

“I’ll tell you who I did not expect to be wildly attracted to,” Colbert began. “Like, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I did not— I like this person’s work, but I never thought of them as a bombshell — I did not know what to do with my eyeballs when Michelle Williams was on for the first time.”
He continued, “She sat down across from me and I went, ‘F—. What is wrong with my head? I’d better not look directly at her for this entire interview.’ There was something about her vibe. Her face. Everything. … She’s so beautiful.”

Williams wasn’t the only celeb who had him flustered.
“I used to have a Rachel Weisz problem,” he revealed. “I’ve recovered. When Rachel Weisz would be on The Daily Show, I would leave the building for fear I would say something stupid. I was afraid I would stand in the hallway and go, ‘Hi.’”
Wait — there’s more.
“Who else is wildly attractive?” Colbert asked. “Rebecca Ferguson. Because she brings game. Andrew Garfield, he is so attractive.”
