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.

'I Did Not Know What to Do With My Eyeballs'

Stephen Colbert admitted Michelle Williams was 'so beautiful.'MEGA

“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.”

Stephen Colbert Also Had a Thing For Rachel Weisz & Other Stars

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.”

Fallon questioned if the end of his show has sunk in yet.

"It's super real," Colbert said. "I've sunken into it, actually. What I've said is the rising tide of emotion has reached my chin, and now, the only thing to do is take a deep breath and swim like h--- to May 21."
