She's incredibly sweet and I smiled the entire time watching this. Another great embassador for New Zealand.
I wish I could move there. At least I visited there just before COVID. What a sensible government!
Thank you. We're proud of her.
@@radboston you'll be welcome once our borders reopen. We miss our visitors.
i also found myself smiling throughout with no intentional action on my part
Yes, big fan of Lorde and Lucy Lawless. Love to visit someday
What a graceful, soft spoken young woman. Utterly charming.
It's the soft-spoken ones that have the private bondage rooms... ;-P
i am a man and i want to be her
@@igorschmidlapp6987 dude wtf
Ahhh so true so true... and what exactly makes her so charming and graceful? Her soft-spokenness? *knock knock* hello? Any personal opinions in there? Didn't think so.
@@Seldomane it begins withe her porcelain skin and yes, her soft spoken manner. Then there is her posture, she evokes a stillness white not being being stiff. Her good humor is a beautiful contrast to what might otherwise be stuffy. And, while she was styled, it was a great counterpoint to her playful nature. She came off as humble without false modesty. It was just a stunning moment in her life.
She’s precious. I hope Hollywood doesn’t jade her.
She comes from a family in the arts and entertainment, so I hope they guide her through everything.
No, we kiwis are very grounded, we always give each other reality checks.
@@heavenlyvilla8681 born and raised in southern california, wishing it had been new zealand. (me)
I think Hollywood has gone past all that. Too much visibility for anything sketchy to happen. Especially after Me Too.
Exactly what I was thinking. She's too sweet!
She's only 21 and she has worked with Jane Campion, Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi, Debra Granik among others and my God she's talented. What an amazing future she has ahead of her.
and scarlett johansson
Anya Taylor
She has a great agent
@@vokasimid5330 She's like the final boss of Nepo babies. Both her mother and grandmother are Dames (woman equivalent of Sir) for services to NZ acting. Her grandfather was a radio host, and her Uncle was a TV host. Oh and her Great-Grandfather was the founding partner to one of NZ's largest real estate companies.
@@cg_2k72Yeah. She seems sweet but it’s interesting to hear the audience respond warmly to her saying she can’t deal with Target and supermarkets - she’s lived her whole life in such extraordinary privilege that standard human experiences are overwhelming to her. No hate from me, I’m happy to see her do well, but it’s not that hard to be successful when you get such a start in life.
She has a very calming voice
you'll never have this
She sounds a bit like Bjork
shes very ASMR
@1:40 So humble of her to give credit and direct the attention to her stylist instead after being complimented like that... she's definitely another actor/celebrity that NZ'ers ought to be proud of.
Stephen looked genuinely charmed and moved when he asked her what she misses the most when she's in the US and she said her family. Impeccable answer and she's an Impeccable talent. 👏
Her grandmother is one of New Zealand's most well-known actresses as is her mother. Her father writes, directs, and acts in theatre, so she's hopefully grounded enough to not lose her head.
I also noticed how, when she said she got overwhelmed easily, and the audience kind of laughed (as she was), he didn’t laugh or try to make a joke of it, he realised she was talking about social anxiety/agoraphobia (literally), and took it seriously. Class act.

Don’t a lot of people say their family/friends when they’re asked that question though?
I think it's very hard for Stephen to be genuinely moved or charmed by anything. He still has some heart left.
You know he's a dad when he changes how he engages with younger guests
Yea non-fathers really have no clue whatsoever with how to handle young people
She's 21.
@@captaincaptain2128 last I checked that's younger than he is.
@@pokiplus9672 so? She's an adult. You don't treat a a 21 year old adult any different than a 40 year old adult. They're both adults.
@@captaincaptain2128 shes barely an adult and this is her first time on a talk show of any kind, it’s 100% reasonable to treat her with kid gloves.
She's so precious. I loved her in Jojo Rabbit.
And in that suit? Such a sweetheart.
You should watch her breakout role in Leave No Trace. That movie started everything for her acting career. Edgar Wright cast Thomasin after he saw her in that movie, she was amazing in Leave No Trace
She was great in the movie. I wish she kissed Jojo in the movie. He deserved a kiss in the movie at least on the cheek.
watch old
@@johnpaulanotado5239 Old was garbage. I hated that movie. One of the worse M Night movies.
I love this woman sm. She’s a wonderful actress. Her first talk show appearance and she was fantastic! Also, she is so beautiful on the inside and on the outside.
That's possibly the sweetest interview I've ever seen with a famous person. Also, I struggle in supermarkets aswell, I couldn't imagine being on a talkshow, she's very brave and handled it excellently.
The moment I saw her in Jojo Rabbit I knew her career would be one to watch. She has a natural charm and talent and during an emotional scene with Scarlett Johansson, she was more than capable of matching her in acting equivalence.
Same also Power of the Dog
You should watch her breakout role in Leave No Trace. That movie started everything for her acting career. Edgar Wright cast Thomasin after he saw her in that movie, she was amazing in Leave No Trace. Before Jojo Rabbit, there was Leave No Trace for her
@@Erasureeraser leave no trace was good
@@redsands1001 indeed, I remember watching it in a theater I love it. Heck I didn't even realized that I was watching Thomasin McKenzie for the first time on screen. It was Jojo Rabbit that I got to know her face and her name a little bit. But man I didn't even realized she was in Leave No Trace till I watch the movie again in quarantine
@@Erasureeraser same thing! I watched leave no trace because i read some articles about it and like Ben Foster. thought the daughter character was great but did not realize until looking up imdb after jojo
His laugh after she's says "my family" is sooo funny. As if he's discovered a Unicorn
I FELL IN LOVE W HER EVEN MORE UGHHH
He realized the question was silly opposite someone so completely unconceited.
He's also a father with kids around her age, so I think he found her answer touching from that perspective, too.
Crazy how she is like the opposite of a movie star in real life. I have never heard a young star talk like a regular person so naturally. She really does embody her character in SoHo. I hope she stay true because she has a ton of talent and her career has just started.
her energy is so so kind and just.... good-natured. what a sweet person oh my
First watched her in Old and I was instantly mesmerized by her. She's so beautiful and her acting is so goooood. I hope she stays sane in this industry.
She’s so classy. She has an old Hollywood vibe and she talks like an old Hollywood movie star love it ❤️💖🌸
This wholesome, precious girl is honestly such a breath of fresh air from usual celebs, she better become a household name in the future.
She's too grounded to be a household name..
@@rafifariq8527 If people like Keanu can reach that status, so can she.
@@simaomonteiro2260 Perhaps. but Household name is a big of stretch Unless Rooney Mara and Carey Mulligan counts as one
Kiwis are just the best!!
@@rafifariq8527 Lucy Lawless, Rose McIver, Anna Paquin, Lorde, Keisha Castle-Hughes and Melanie Lynskey are all New Zealanders and I could name them all off the top of my head and they are all pretty kick ass and non-controversial. If you aren't watching Ghosts or Yellowjackets you aren't living!
She's so adorable. I really liked her in Soho, she was really charming, and she seems just like that outside her movies.
I’m surprised no one mentioned that the landlady in the clip was played by the great Diana Rigg, in her final film role.
Tell cersei it was me
Oh wow, Ill go back and look, thank you!
Oh my, thought she looked familiar. RIP
Barely recognized her. Had to go back and look. Loved her in GOT.
@@flyfree78644 If you liked her in GOT you should check her out in The Avengers (the 1960s British TV series, not the Marvel thing.) Or better yet here she is back in the day doing Shakespeare (her monologue starts at 00:35): ua-cam.com/video/9A8MxC8XcoE/v-deo.html
How adorable is Thomasin McKensie?? I saw her in Eileen and I'm smitten. I want to see much more of her work. God bless you dear Thomasin. Love 'n Light best & cheers, Sean
Brilliant, brilliant young actress. Loved her in Jojo and now have seen Soho twice and she shines in it.
Let's hope there are many more films with titles " o o".
I'm thinking: "Momo" (alternative Pacific Island fashions), "Nono" (anti-rape), "Dodo" (plea for endangered species), "Bobo" (with monkeys and a CGI'd virtual Ronald Reagan), "Coco" (biopic of Chanel), "Soso" (just a mediocre potboiler), "Toto" (prequel to Wizard of Oz), "Yoyo" (either about a cellist or a newly-admitted Olympic sport), etc.
@@ericminch these are all brilliantly inventive ! Personal fave : "Nono" with "(anti-rape)" as the tagline. Thank you for sharing.
i honestly really like her as an actor and her personality. She's really sweet but doesn't seem to be afraid to say things that may offend or make the interview awkward. but she says it in such a nice way that people are like "you know what you're right" She just seems really honest and herself
I’m happy for her that she’s getting the recognition that she deserves. Been a fan of hers since “Jojo Rabbit” 💙

@@Erasureeraser leave no trace is so beautiful yet sad, I love it so much.
What a charming young lady. If that's how she feels about Target, I pray she never sets foot inside a Costco 😄
"Welcome to Costco, I love you."
I go to Costco evert weekend, and this comment still put a shiver down my spine lol if they didn't have cheap hotdogs, I'd go somewhere else
I don't go to busy places when I can avoid it. I just don't like crowded spaces, like an over-crowded elevator, I'd rather take the stairs.
@anupam anand to clarify our target is TOTALLY different to American target 😉
Exactly! She’ll hyperventilate when she’s met with a wall of crackers and energy bars as she walks in one. 🤪
Listen here Hollywood, you do NOT mess with her. She is so pure if anything happens to her you will experience the rath of some of the strongest people in the world.
Criiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinge.
why are you taking about her like she’s 12
I legitimately was not prepared for how sweet and charming she would be.
I love u Tom can’t wait to see more upcoming projects.
She’s going to be an academy award winning actress in the future for sure
Wouldn't be surprised if Soho gets some awards, either for her or for other aspects of the movie. But for sure, she has a bright future of movie-making ahead of her!
@@Kurse_of_Kall yes can’t wait for more
She will be a super star.
if she wants to.
She's so precious and seems like she's a very down to Earth young lady. Last Night in Soho is the first film I've seen her in and I absolutely loved it. Having only seen her in one film I believe I can say that she has a long and vibrant acting career ahead of her.
What a delightful young lady. She's so sweet.
The movie Leave No Trace, her breakout role, is amazing. More people need to see that wonderful movie.
That movie was the main reason why Edgar Wright chose her for the lead of Last Night In Soho. That movie was amazing and it's mind-blowing that it's the highest rated movie on RT to get 100%. For me, it's indeed an underrated masterpiece of an independent movi
Tall poppy syndrome, for those wondering, is an expression taken to mean, "Don't try to be 'that' person, who always has to stand taller than everyone else. The tallest poppies are the ones that get cut down." In the Southern U.S. we have a similar saying, "The nail that sticks its head out , is the one most likely to get hammered down. "
Nonsense, she doesn't know what it means and you don't know what it means :/ what it actually means is don't stand out or you will be cut down, usually by envious types who just can't abide other people's success or achievements so try to cut them down to size out of spite and jealousy by unwarranted criticism.
How could you ever get upset with her when everything she says sounds so sweet & lovely?!? ☺
She seems so grounded and humble💛
Last Night in Soho is one of the best movies i've seen in a while, absolutely terrifying and thomasin's screams made my boyfriend cry
Go see Last Night in Soho!!!
What a sweet creature. I think she has a lot of charm and talent for drama. When I saw her in "Leave no trace" I almost start crying every time she was sad.
Holy crap I just watched the film and I gotta admit, it scared the shit outta of me. Scared me so much more than any other horror movie I’ve seen lately. I cant even express how much sympathy I have for Sandy…the movie literally gave me a reality check. Y’all gotta watch it soon because it’s so amazing
New Zelanders have some of the best accents and Thomasin seems like the sweetest person ever. Cannot wait to see this film and her performance
She's the Jewish girl in JoJo Rabbit incase some of you don't recognize her. I'm stunned by her disarming demeaner & natural kindness. Not only is NZ a special place, but they create a lot of special people too.
She does a different accent every movie. I hope one day she gets to use her own, because it's so elegant & attractive.
@@juliánito59 If I remember correctly, the accent she used in Jojo was very similar to her own.
Same with Taika Waititi
@@PeterPing Taika was doing a caricature, he specifically made it clear. As a half-Jewish person dealing with a story in the WWII era, he couldn't care less to research on his character
So rare to see a genuine, sweet person on these shows. Love to see it.
Omg what an angel. So sweet. Beautiful soul.
She so sweet and beautiful with such a calm vibe. ❤️ I adore her.
What a wonderful young lady, she really is a perfect role model for upcoming actresses around the world. I also loved her role in Jojo Rabbit. Great work Thomasin, very proud to have you as a fellow New Zealander!
One of the dearest guests I've seen on this show. Well done! Hope we see her again. Cheers!
I think this is as close to a genuine audience reaction you can get on these shows
I did my first year at varsity with Thomasin's mother, Miranda. I have also met Kate, the matriarch and have nothing but good things to say about the Harcourt-McKenzie clan. They are
acting aristocracy, without being a bunch of pretentious arseholes. Just good people that love and embrace their craft. Kia Kaha, Thomasin.
Well, her Grandad created Harcourts, which is the ONLY snooty real estate company I've ever come across in NZ and Miranda has always come across as being quite cold and snobby, to be honest. But really they're no different to your average private school educated NZers, on that front.
@@bingonamo7520 Lets not be negative. This girl is a product of her upbringing so I'd be giving credit to her family for who she is as a person. She's sweet and humble. Her grandmother Kate is also a well respected actress in this country.
@@MK-oc4gt Well Harcourts the real estate company, to this day, are a bunch of c**ts. They don't even treat you nicely when they're selling your house, yet they charge the highest real estate fees, that I know of.
@@bingonamo7520 What does that have to do with Thomasin tho?
@@simaomonteiro2260 She's talking about her "aristocratic" family, not Thomasin. I think it speaks volumes that she chose that particular word, as posh private school types in NZ, often do act like they are "special" and are aristocrats.
She’s so special, I was captivated from the minute I started watching, she sounded incredibly like Kate Bush the way that she spoke so softly like velvet, incredible actress, big things for her I’m sure of it.
She was mesmerizing in Last Night in Soho. What a work of art.
I knew she has a long accomplished career ahead of her after watching _Leave No Trace._
Leave No Trace was amazing as well as her breakout performance. She's definitely having a great future ahead of her.
For a first time Talk Show Interview, that went pretty well!
Heck, it went pretty well for an old pro, really.
4;37 - We have that in Australia - the meaning of 'Tall poppy syndrome' refers to one flower growing above the hedging size, and when they happens it is more likely to be cut or be destroyed (because it's not supported)
i love her voice
she's like a rare gem. totally honest and flawless
I am in love with her, her voice is so charming 😭
Every time he interacts with a New Zealander he just falls more in love with us.
We Americans tend to love you guys, we love the Aussies too, but unlike them you don't have that chip on your shoulder.
@@JohnnyPappas Hilarious coming from a yank
@@truthseeker6306 I don’t think that Americans are known for having an inferiority complex.
"I lived in the wall of my previous residence, so this room is utterly paradise!"
I remember going to a film festival with my dad to see Leave No Trace and then with friends to see JoJo Rabbit! She seems like such an incredible person, I can't wait to see what else she does in the future!
Beautiful person. Truly. I saw her wilderness movie and enjoyed it. Hope to see her in a cute romantic movie maybe high school or college coming of age. She is a great story teller and I hope she continues to get good projects to act in so we all can continue being entertained with memorable films
"my family"
THAT right there says it all about her 😍😍😍😍
She is so cute and so friendly, she has such a sweet voice.
Amazing the work she has done at such a young age, terrific actor
Wow, she is lovely in every possible way.
Boy she is just a very practical human being isn't she? She appears to be so incredibly New Zealand that even other new zealanders might feel uncomfortable just being around her. Imagine if she moved to Canada....
No, we're good with her thanks.
@@jillmortlock8439 Good job on that one then, treasure.
I generally find New Zealanders very like Canadians. I don't think I've ever met a New Zealander I didn't like immediately.
I would call her, post NZer, rather than regular middle of the road Kiwi.
She is so pretty and sweet and nice. Love her acting in Last Night in Soho and Jojo Rabbit. Hope more people will get to know her
She is amazing , it's like she came here in a time machine from 200 years ago.
Her performance in "Leave No Trace" is really underrated.
The vibe reminded me of 'Winters Bone'
@@umair111 Both movies from same director
@@XMrJust Oh cool! It's a shame she's done so few films
@@umair111 She’s only 21. She will be in a ton of movies by the time she’s 30
@@alexweiner1491 I was referring to the director
Wow, what a lovely person. This was such a great interview.
How innocent and sweet is she ❤
It really is heartwarming to see all the Kiwi love in the mentions.
Im charmed!, her beauty is compounded by her demeanor, she exerts the class of high aristocracy and a down-to-earth girl-next-door vibe.
I just love that Anya Taylor Joy, who played Thomasin in The Witch, stars in Last Night in Soho with an actress named Thomasin. :)
A beautiful coincidence.
She’s so bloody gorgeous , love her eyes and smile ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What an absolute beauty of a woman. So likeable in every way and such a talented actress
She 'misses her family'...so incredibly charming. I just hope that Hollywood doesn't ruin her
what a sweetheart, I honestly thought she was british until she said she was a kiwi. as a New Zealander she's basically spot on - about the outfit (sorry Stephen!) and esp re the not making a big fuss of celebrities. I'm a bit older than her, we're really fortunate - we get the best of American, British and homegrown tv (even before internet - now - *everything* is available online). my ex was a canadian, born in the same year as me (1970) - and we shared 99% of our cultural references esp in terms of TV.
@@c.james1 ah you're right - I think that must have been it
Were you aware of The Beachcombers?
Yes, she sounded more British, almost Scottish at points. The only thing that gave her away is how she pronounced her vowels. I also picked up a certain subtle arrogance behind the sweet tones but then again, being an Australian, we are more obviously arrogant. Would you agree?
As someone from the US, my biggest point of reference for identifying a New Zealand accent is that all of the vowels sound like they have a soft short "i" sound behind them. She definitely has that : )
Basically spot on? Ever heard of NZ Chesdale Cheese? The hats are farmland - Barry Crump would wear one, Billy T too. Australians wear corks hanging down with bigger brim for the sun.
Omg, she's so sweet and was absolutely terrific in Totally , Completely Fine!
I love Thomasin and one day she's gonna be an A-lister actress. Can't wait for her future roles ❤️
She's gonna be in Jane Campion's The Power Of The Dog with Benedict Cumberbatch, Kodi Smith McPhee, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons coming out this December on Netflix. Definitely looking forward to that
I think my posture got better after this interview.
People often ask about why NZers are so nice & welcoming etc, it stems from our indigenous culture. Māori practice Manaakitanga which is a value steeped in hospitality and kindness.
I would almost watch this segment twice because of her lovely simple polite charm. You don't see that often in a young girl these days.
Her performance in Last Night In Soho is exceptional.
She‘s a tremendous actor.
amazing movie, amazing acting, haven't liked a movie for some time and then this one pops up, faith in cinema restored a bit.
Very, very outstanding performance, great movie, and very beautiful lady
she is so adorable and so fabulous in Last Night in Soho!! Edgar Wright chose well! I hope they win an Oscar or two. I actually wept during this interview. She is so family oriented and I pray she never changes.
Such a pure spirit, too good for this world
Regarding Steven's "kiwi outfit", if he lost the neckerchief he might fit in small rural country towns here in Australia. When I saw that outfit I accidently blurted outloud "what the fuck is he wearing?!"
Needs a bunch of corks hanging from the brim of the hat.
@@ericminch he looks like NZ Chesdale Cheese cartoon character.
Yep. He's gotta drop the hat snd necktie. We don't dress like that. A black tee-shirt, swandry and gumboots be better lol.
Haha that was my reaction too... no one anywhere in the country would ever wear that ensemble!! Especially that neckerchief thing 🤣
@@emikiwi NZ Chesdale Cheese - the neckerchief actually goes around the hat.
Super talented. I hope she isn't hurt and isn't changed by all the negative things that can come with fame and film.
🧡🧡 cheer her up
I like the way she talked. Soft spoken and naturally elegant.
Stephen Colbert has to be the kindest, most protective first talk show interviewer any upcoming actor could encounter. Best of luck Tomasin McKenzie. And Stephen, you are a true mensch.
She was amazing in Jojo. Definitely interested in what she ends up doing
She seems very respectful, and very mature.
Just watched the film last night. Bit late to the game on it, but I saw how much it had made thus far at the box office, and promised myself to get out and see it before it leaves cinemas.
Easily one of the best performances in a horror/thriller I’ve seen in a while!
Cannot wait to see what roles she takes up next.
She warms my heart🥰🥰🥰
She is absolutely adorable! 🥰😄😊
Great actress. I've watched her in Jo Jo Rabbit and Leave No Trace. she did a great acting job and lost the New Zealand accent in both movies, don't know how they do that!
Just watched "Last Night at Soho". I think her performance as a rather fragile, unconfident country girl who's trying to proof something is spot on.
She’s awesome and we love her here in NZ
My family and my dog, god she's perfect.
So charming, Shes a real love
