Claire Danes (age 17) on Letterman 1996

[kbelleza]

after seeing this, america is so moderate these days

[socialops]

Wait wait wait ...

Dave: "You're 17, come on, what are you talking about? 'Being single'? Hahahaha ... Well, you know, we should do something on our collective birthday, our mutual birthday. How about this? You, me, and Ted Danson."

Wait wait wait ... [rewind] ... smooth segue, Dave.

[whotaughtyou]

SCOIUANDTRACK R E SWABY CLAIRE DANES EDWARD SEAGA HE LIKES YOU

10

[CourtneyLeannDawson]

Dont talk about leo like that even though he shoulve went with her but didnt.

[makkakman]

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS... FUCK DICAPRIO... DANES IS THE PRINCESS

[meeces13]

@makkakman soo gay

[legallyinsane456]

i love how she dressed here.so appropriate.

[abcd12345]

@legallyinsane456 this was a popular style back in the mid 90s, and not anymore, it actually looks terribly grandmotherly.. she was trying so hard to dress older than her age back then.

[pliteni]

Letterman is such a pervert! How many times he hit on her in 7min!

[meeces13]

@pliteni when its perverted for a male to appreciate a female's beauty?

[pianoforte1776]

i love her hair!

[morpheine85]

really bad quality , annoying

[AnimusPipboy]

She still doesn't have boobs...

[oxfordpictionary]

@AnimusPipboy she has nice ones. you are blind. hehe.

[AnimusPipboy]

@oxfordpictionary Watch Homeland please lol

[dealovebritney]

aaaaaaand! she get offer for Titanic but......

[dealovebritney]

she was 17 in Romeo and Juliet????????? LOORD! She is beautiful!!!! Ccccc Leo,Leo!

[oleander25]

Andrew who?

[bubblyburberry24]

@oleander25 Andrew Dorff, younger brother of actor Stephen Dorff.

[UclaColumbia]

I love Claire! 

[KusinerneAF]

Oh God I Love Claire. She looks so cute, look at that nose and that dress!<3

[tilorb]

does anyone know if Jared Leto got to bang her?

[jayflip98]

looks like she has no legs 0:20

[AlexRoshanStewart]

April 12 is her birthday when Titanic sank

[smilitu]

@AlexRoshanStewart Actually it sank on April 14th.

[AlexRoshanStewart]

@smilitu Dang your right. I got confused 1912/ April 14 1914/ April 12 - ya know how it is!

[oxfordpictionary]

@AlexRoshanStewart sorry someone else already corrected you. i'll shut up now. haha :) at least you have an interest in history! that's a good thing.

[AlexRoshanStewart]

@oxfordpictionary I hope so!

[oxfordpictionary]

@AlexRoshanStewart the titanic sank on april 14th, 1912, not april 12th. not to nerd it up or anything....

[BrokenKeyLocket13]

@BeejayQueen oh wow :P

[drifter6276]

Claire was pretty as a teenager, but average looking as an adult. Natalie Portman looks the same now as she did when she was 16.

[vengefulenigma]

the cake was a lie!

[buskergirl]

@vengefulenigma Good one. :)) But seriously?? Only 3 people have seen Portal??

[MisterXploit]

letterman wants a 3-way with ted danson??

[gulllars]

Is this what Dakota Fanning is going to be like in a couple of years? The similarity just hit me.

[bubblyburberry24]

For a moment here I thought I stumbled onto another episode of "To Catch a Predator" xD Dave appears to enjoy having teenage guests on his show opposed to adults.

[jrkb300]

she's adorable

[bananars805]

It's kind of funny, them discussing Romeo and Juliet so casually. It sounds like it would have been a stupid movie the way she describes it (Modern day Shakespeare..FTW?). And yet, Leo and Claire made that movie a legend. I've never even heard of that other movie mentioned.

[inrwizards]

@bananars805 romeo and juliet....legend? :S its a pretty mediocre movie.

[BrokenKeyLocket13]

She had red hair in mY so called life...

[mroddydawg]

she was pretty in romeo and juliet

[sparklingcider44]

she sucked in romeo and juliet. and letterman is a pedophile

[kiikat]

love their dynamic

fun interview :P

[dreamynight]

wow..she doesn't look any different..she ages so well!

[megga1886]

what!? letterman had hair???

[helix4404]

eeewwww old guy hitting on a 17 year old... EEEWWWW!

[whatamachine89]

@helix4404 check the interview when she was 16.. he hit on her even then too.

[souriezmoimilord]

she's beautiful and very cute here but she has gotten gorgeous and better looking with age, i reckon.

[chocoholic88dx]

Wow he adores her... ;)

[waitin4winter]

so flirty. i remember being so in love with her after watching R&J 13 years ago.

[NyashaMe]

Woo! Jon Stewart.

[pomegranateish]

"you're a kid, that's what I like about you"

pedo alert.

[inrwizards]

@pomegranateish lol

[Megara]

Omg she's gorgeous, but that dress is not flattering on her!

[abcd12345]

@Megara it was popular back then 1996

[h2soccergod]

holy crap she looks the same now. that's beauty

[hurryupche]

honestly bitch eat shit

[hurryupche]

she has had so much plastic surgery now she looks like michael jackson thats no exaggeration either. i saw her on emmys last night had no idea she looked like that, now . Someone outta put that freakshow out of her misery, pathetic pathetic.

[prbpino75]

@hurryupche Your Crazy...shes hot now

[Superfluffy17]

@hurryupche right, because you know her personally and how much plastic surgery she's had or hasn't had. Really? Get a life.

[MiskaHanuska]

I very love My So-Called Life with her! It's great serial :)

[particulatestaleyq]

she's really pretty and funny

[MsKaraya]

fuck yeah

[bonjovifan1992]

I met her and Hugh last year. So nice and down to earth. I love them. And I have a pic with them. <3

[MrChristoffer1992]

haha i think david got a dirty mind when she said she was gonna pop out of a cake and that she whud be 18 at that time xD to bad she said she was only kidding xD

[Randseed2]

And the best part is that she's now even hotter, and still has the same kind of bubbly yet intelligent personality.

[chrisdaman66]

i like herrr

[Popsicle789]

letterman really likes claire :)



[romeomacfaden]

oh she is gorgeouse !!!

[chisoxrk]

i think shes even hotter now

[kaylawayla23]

[danger0usknowledge]

[piratescaribbean111]

So mature for her age at the time. so confident. amazing actress :)

[PersonMix]

[adamkincaid1234]

For some reason I thought she was English

[hollygirl32295]

@adamkincaid1234 haha ya same here! idk why!

[sherbear2345]

so this is when the Chevorlet Blazer was considered "hip"

[bambampow1]

omg letterman is young ! hah

[jdlaw001]

I loved her in this era - love Romeo + Juliet and My So Called Life and her cute hairstyle.

Imagine R+J and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Juliet - it came that close.

[Lemontree23]

LOve her hair!!

[yahraever]

she is really beautiful

[LaMOi1]

'Until your 18 of course...'' Classic Letterman !! LOL

[FantasmaLuna]

"I'll be 18 at that point, so it'll be okay." LOL!

[8caulfield]

his look at 0:58 is priceless x)

[dasophie99]

She and emma watson r the only ones ive seen leaving letterman speechless

[domdidomdom]

@dasophie99 I would add Drew Barrymore to that list

[RandiFandi3000]

i love clair danes she is the bomb especially in romeo and juliet:)

[paulrosswhelan]

does She Remind Anyone Else Like "Phove Buffay" ?

[horseharriet1996x]

@paulrosswhelan

Yeaa a lil bit, now you have just said that, Phoebe Buffay's i little crazier though =P

[domunique001]

What a perve! He's trying it on with her!

[0toHero]

Wow. He was a lech back then too.

[Vanderkluk]

she is sooooooo beautiful!!!!"*

[pinkyspalace77]

she is my hero

[Hogwartian]

she seems like she'd be so much fun :)

[Soiledmyself]

I. love. her. hair.

[lcddg]

too bad she's 17 in 1996 i was just a preschool during that time i still don't know how babies were made

[livvyleia]

was this b4 or aftr little women? iluv her in that movie.

[jessicabrain19]

Letterman looks really young here :O I Love the film Romeo and Juliet.

[CotardDelusion]

AAAHAHA i love her! shes beautiful

[lpycb42]

She owned David! I think she's one of the few I've seen that has left him speechless a couple of times.

[howheavyisthatx]

i like her dress

[jess119944]

oh david looks so young!!!

shes so beautiful.

[JohnnyWeedSeed420]

one of the all-time beauties

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Oh shut up she's just another girl who happens to be famous, I see plenty of them who hit on me at my job at the mall. They all look the same, stop pretending someone is so awesome just because she is famous..

[JohnnyWeedSeed420]

well little emoqueer if i think shes hot i think shes hot, you need to stop putting words in my mouth. So i wont be shutting up and ill do what the hell i want

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Point is any average looking girl is going to look 'hot' to a bafoon who doesn;t get laid. Go out to your local mall, tell me there aren't dozens of girls equally attractive out there.. unless you are living in bumfuck arkansas...

[JohnnyWeedSeed420]

your opinion doesnt mean shit to me littleemoqueer, really, now fuck off and stop speaking to me. Stupid kid thinks i give a shit, she is hot, end of story

[LittleEmoBoy001]

So is my girlfriend, only difference is my girlfriend isn't famous...point is there are lots of hot girls in the world, no reason to drool over this one just because she is famous..get out a little man..,

[amuda1]

haha. and you get laid with a name like little emo boy? you probably only get laid by all the little emo girls.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Only by my girlfriend who is the hottest little girl on the face of the planet..

[amuda1]

and i bet she's an ugly little emo just like the rest of them.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

I bet every time you see an emo girl you cry because you can't get one..

[amuda1]

1. im not a lesbian. i do cry when i see emo girls. but only because theyre so ugly.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

That's why you got no videos showing yourself..

[MCRgirl771]

Can you take this cat fight somewhere else!? This has got nothing to do with Claire Danes!

[amuda1]

wow. that was so yesterday. i was defending her anyways. =]

[MCRgirl771]

Ok at least you're defending her!

[bubblyburberry24]

I love Claire, awesome actress.

:)

[jrkb300]

she's the bomb

[adhoodo]

Stardust is my favorite! :)

[Exotic47]

isn't she that girl in terminator 3?

[marlongibbs]

Yo, She was like that girl next door, hidden gem type.. I like to think i discovered her..... everybody loved her in Romeo and Juliet

[EthanCruise]

She is pretty!

[sungmachine]

She's a beautiful girl. Hope she will come to Montreal one day.

[LimeInTheCoconut21]

Dude, I dont care how old Claire Daines is. Id do her tommorow if I could. Cougars ROCK!

[blondieluvs21]

her hair looks really cute

[AshTheMovieGeek]

Her hair is naturally brown

[SuperSkurre]

Where's the rest?! Jon Stewart was gonna be on!

[goshlol123]

And look how she made it now in the movie "Stardust"

It's a really great movie and she plays her role very good, I watched it like 4 times in a row, because it was such a nice story.

I didn't watch it because she's such a beauty but the whole story is really, really good, with Robert de Niro, Charlie Cox and Michelle Pfeiffer, the story was really complete, i hope they make many more movies like "Stardust" :)

[LexingtonAR]

dude she looks way hott right here

[brainylicious]

who cares? she's a dancer

[sweetmonkeyblowjob]

aww she's so nervous

[junkmailboy1000]

oh man, i would bone an 18 year old claire daines

[MSSL06]

oh my gosh.

[Flizzankie]

She looks beautiful here. So is her hair naturally blonde, or brown like it was in R+J?

[girlypunkz34]

the one in R+J(brown hair) was just a wig.

[casey9072]

i think its dark blonde maybe..

[moila04]

she was pretty when younger but now she doesnt look good

[TheBigMman]

Damn, Letterman is creepy...

[RoGuEclaud]

she looks so much like Gwyneth Paltrow :D

[catndryer]

Yes, girls with small tits can be hot.

[sukiyaki113]

Letterman has the hugest creepy old man crush on Claire Danes haha

[idlevice066]

you should see the infamous interview with Madonna. I thought they were gunna get on the floor and shag there and then on set!

[SuperStephx]

she looks better in romeo and juliet

[amaze1191]

WHOA she's gorgeous!

[breakingdawn607]

I like how she casually walks in.She really is down to earth......She and Leo are perfect together!

[er0288]

"Well it could have been a baby or something."

lol

[stopthewar86]

I'm italian, I don't understand very well.. if there's nobody who can translate in italian, can somebody write (in english) what she says? Please...for me it's better to read english than to hear it

[forlikeforever]

"it's just plastic"

HAHAHAHAHAHAH XD

[PostZapruder]

Prettiest... girl... ever...

[Narendos24]

you... said... it...

[ChrisMiran]

prettier than natalie portman?

[homeric85]

She was very articulate at 17!! She was so young and her hair looked cool. She hasn't aged a bit.

[123lawoman]

I think she has!

[ChristianLinnell]

Good god.

[akublymunoz]

wow shes a vary nice girl that plays in alot of good moves

[temporarydive]

She is really sweet, though her voice is kinda annoying to listen to in the long run..

[lpycb42]

She's so fresh and young and adorable!!!

[youtert]

I want to hear her talking about wearing a thong in To Gillian.

[Sethygirl]

love her! :)

[stonebridge999]

Is it just me or has she not aged at all???

[youtert]

I think she looka like a man nowadays.

[89otnas]

If thats what most Americans feel about the driving test over there, they need to try the British test! None of them would EVER pass over here.

Of course, none of this changes what I, and most others, think about Danes. Gorgeous as always, and a supertalented actress!

[temporarydive]

Why is it so much harder over there?

[89otnas]

It just requires more of the candidates. A UK driver could have an amazing test for 40 minutes, make one mistake in the last five, and they would fail. For example if you hesitated too long at a roundabout when it was your right of way, you would fail.

Lol, they're gonna make it harder as well.

Put it this way, the best qualified road drivers in the world upon passing (this is not my opinion, but a widely accepted view) are first of all the Swedish. Then we have Germany, Japan and the UK.

[hbueain]

omg she's beautiful

[mummyboy82]

I like how before she sits down it looks like she has no legs. She's just floating.

[cicicitron]

She is BEAUTIFUL !!

[xanythingiwantbabyx]

she's gorgeous in romeo and juliet

[devincigirl]

claire danes came to my school! she's really nice and sweet

[annemiiek]

Claire Danes always looks lovely and she is a really good actress. She is beautiful just being herself.

[Shrubbs]

She was pretty when she was young

[Juliaroxursox1]

Claire Danes is such a good actress! Love her in Romeo + Juliet ( & LEO!!) and Stardust. her clothes r really cool here too.

[PakoLitto]

She's adorable!

[dora452452]

ok... i think she looks better when she was 17. but still, she's still pretty now.
