\n<\/aside>\n\u201cI\u2019ll tell you who I did not expect to be wildly attracted to,\u201d Colbert, 62, responded. \u201cLike, I didn\u2019t know what to do with myself. I did not know what to do with my eyeballs when Michelle Williams was on for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cShe sat down across from me and I went, \u2018F\u2013k, what is wrong with my head? I\u2019d better not look directly at her for this entire interview.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former \u201cColbert Show\u201d host, who will say goodbye to his \u201cLate Show\u201d on May 21, went on to gush about the \u201cDying for Sex\u201d star\u2019s \u201cvibe\u201d and \u201cface\u201d because he finds her \u201cso beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Williams wasn\u2019t the only A-lister who caught Colbert\u2019s eye during his 11 seasons hosting the late-night CBS program, because he also name-dropped Rachel Weisz, Rebecca Ferguson and Andrew Garfield.<\/p>\n
\u201cI used to have a Rachel Weisz problem,\u201d he told co-hosts Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and John Oliver during the podcast. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Rachel Weisz would be on, I would leave the building for fear I would say something stupid,\u201d Colbert shared.<\/p>\n
As for Garfield, Colbert couldn\u2019t help but bring up the time they shared an intimate on-screen kiss during a January 2017 episode of the \u201cLate Show.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAndrew Garfield, he is so attractive,\u201d Colbert laughed as Kimmel chimed in, \u201cAnd you kissed him!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOr he kissed me,\u201d the former Comedy Central star responded. \u201cWe did get our hands tangled in each other\u2019s hair. It was really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers and Oliver all came together for a new episode of their \u201cStrike Force Five\u201d podcast in honor of Colbert\u2019s last \u201cLate Show\u201d episodes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
