Anderson Cooper Totally Loses It After Ralph Fiennes Reenacts That Viral 'Demure' Video

Cooper could barely hold it together alongside Andy Cohen on CNN's New Year's Eve show as Fiennes did a dramatic reenactment of the "very demure, very mindful" video that took TikTok by storm.

CNN's Anderson Cooper could barely hold it together alongside Andy Cohen on CNN's New Year's Eve show as actor Ralph Fiennes did a dramatic reenactment of the "very demure, very mindful" video that took TikTok by storm.

Cohen asked:


“I showed you the video yesterday. Can you perform this for us?”

Fiennes agreed to “try” to give his version of it with a monologue, reciting the following very calmly:

“Well look, this is how I do my makeup for work. Very demure, very mindful. I don’t come to work with a green cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m mindful at work."
"See how I look very presentable? The way I came to the interview is the way I go to the job. A lot of you girls go to the interview looking like Marge Simpson, looking like you are going to look like Patty and Selma."
"Not demure. Not demure. But, I am very modest.”
"See my shirt? ... Be mindful of why they hired you. Here’s a reality check, diva. What’s the name you want me to make it out to?”

As Fiennes delivered his monologue, Cooper laughed so hard he nearly fell over. Cohen turned to him and asked, “Did you like that, Anderson?” to which Cooper replied:

“I liked that very much.”

Fiennes made his appearance on the New Year’s special while promoting his film Conclave, a project generating significant awards buzz. He is widely expected to earn a nomination for Best Actor at this year’s Academy Awards.

Conclave is also considered a strong contender for Best Picture. For Fiennes, the potential nomination would mark his third, following nods for Schindler’s List and The English Patient. He remains a frontrunner for the coveted prize but faces tough competition from Adrien Brody, praised for his performance in The Brutalist.

Polyakov, 24, arrived at the northeastern shore of North Sentinel Island at 10 a.m. on March 29, according to police reports. He used binoculars to survey the land but saw no one. He then climbed ashore, leaving behind a Diet Coke and a coconut, took sand samples, and recorded a video, the authorities said.
