Sir Kenneth Branagh: I saw Dame Judi Dench half NAKED
Sir Kenneth, 56, said that he’d seen Dame Judi, 82, naked from the waist down as the duo chatted about their new movie Murder on the Orient Express while appearing on the BBC talk show.
He explained: “I went into her dressing room one night and she was sitting in her dressing gown. We are excitedly talking about the film and Johnny Depp and possibly Michelle and Josh when we get the call to go on stage.
“We are still chatting in the wings and with 30 seconds to go she throws off her dressing gown and there is nothing on below the waist! I had the briefest of looks, but I can confirm, like the song, ‘there is nothing like a dame!’"

“Her dresser ran to get her skirt and Judi went on clutching it around her," the actor added.
Dame Judi then exclaimed: “I was quite surprised too!”
The pair have been hard at work promoting their latest flick Murder on the Orient Express, with Kenneth directing and starring as Hercule Poirot, while Judi plays Princess Dragomiroff.

Speaking of Dame Judi, Kenneth gushed: “She is a trouble maker and always has been! We have worked together 10 times over 30 years.
“She was the first person I asked to be on the train and she very kindly said yes before I had finished the sentence. It was very thrilling because it made a big difference to getting everyone else.”
The Graham Norton Show continues Friday at 10.35pm on BBC One.
