Emma Thompson answering random questions from little kids is hilariously adorable

Skilled interviewers may spend years honing their craft, but sometimes all you really need to unlock a person's secrets is the quirky mind of a small child. Or in this case, several small children.

In the BBC Radio 1 segment above, Emma Thompson follows in the footsteps of Sarah Silverman and Tom Hardy by answering a series of "difficult questions" from kids — with topics ranging from the environment to what it takes to become rich.

8-year-old Finn from Glasgow is even cheeky enough to ask about the best onscreen kisser Thompson has ever encountered.

"Meryl Streep's a very good snogger," she responds. "I had to snog her in Angels in America and she was method about it."

Goodness.
