She's played all sorts of characters in countless films.

But it seems Emily Blunt's performance on Thursday night shocked Stephen Colbert during an interview on his show, resulting in a hilarious exchange.

The 35-year-old English actress, who wore a flattering black number with sheer hem, started with a strange anecdote that involved rescuing her pet hamster Tigger when she was a young girl.

All smiles! It seems Emily Blunt's performance on Thursday night shocked Stephen Colbert during an interview on his show, resulting in a hilarious exchange

'I quite enjoyed rather dramatic role-play game,' she said, before adding jovially 'my friends were like, 'That sounds lame, but I'll go along with it because I'm at your house, and I kinda have to do it''

She went on to describe the game she designed involving the pet rodent.

'I had this lovely hamster called Tigger, who probably died before he should have died because of what I put him through. We would sort of hide Tigger under a sofa cushion, and then I'd sort of pretend the roof was coming in. And I'd be like, 'Get Tigger! The roof is falling in!' I'd dive and I'd rescue Tigger—and Tigger would just be, like...[in a daze].'

Though she did admit that in retrospect 'it was awful,' it still inspired Colbert to delve deeper.

Interesting observation: Colbert then made the observation that 'torturing animals is one of the signs of a sociopath,' before adding 'generally we get those kids medication now'

'Were there adults watching you do this at the time,' to which the Sicario actress answered 'My mum had four kids. I think she was like, 'They sound like they're OK.''

Later in the interview, the Golden Globe winner shared another story about her childhood, this time regarding her father and his video rental habits.

'He was sent off to the video store and would come back with the most inappropriate films. They were movies he wanted to see, so he'd come back with Jaws and Pretty Woman,' she remembered.

The old days: 'He was sent off to the video store and would come back with the most inappropriate films. They were movies he wanted to see, so he'd come back with Jaws and Pretty Woman,' she remembered

Pretty Woman in particular was apparently memorable.

'The scene where she offers him the condoms—guys, you know! When she fans out the condoms? Remember that? And there's so many different colors and flavors? I was like, 'Why...? Oh, that's so cool! She's, like, giving him sweets to choose from.' My dad would be like, 'Yeah! Yeah! Absolutely! Sweets! And he can choose which one he wants.'

Emily was on hand to promote not only the reboot of Mary Poppins, in which she stars, but also A Quiet Place, which was directed by her husband John Krasinski.
