Watch Judi Dench's delightful message for managing these stressful times     DATE: 2024-05-22 21:55:34

This is a big week for Dame Judi Dench.

For one, she revealed she has not seen the Razzie-award winning movie Cats. (Thanks to the power of streaming, she now has the ability to as Catsis available on VOD.)

But Dench is doing more than just avoiding the delight of the Tom Hooper movie. She's using all this coronavirus-driven free time to record a message for the isolated masses, courtesy of her daughter Finty Williams:

The video features Dench wearing a hat in the shape of a dog with ears that spring up when tugged. "Just keep laughing," Dench says with perky ears, "That's all we can do."

The message resonated with many and subsequently started making its way around the internet.

This isn't the first time Dench has graced all of the bored, socially-distanced folks with her presence in the wake of the coronavirus. Earlier this week, Dench made a singalong video with actor and former member of UK Parliament Gyles Brandreth all about washing your hands:

Dench and Brandreth display the importance of washing our hands for 20 seconds, all while Dench purrs and Brandreth repeats the word "pussy" a little too much for comfort.

While the coronavirus pandemic has caused a lot of anxiety, at least Judi Dench is here to make it a tiny bit better?

Maybe now she'll have enough time to watch Cats — after she films her next video, of course.
