    her energy around julius is just different she was already amazing and funny but with him beside her you can tell how great they are together and how more fun and herself she is!
  • Oh my goodness- I'm in love with this couple. I'm so glad they did this interview together
  • Her dark skin in that red dress is nothing but beautiful.. 😍 😩 A beautiful woman and a lovely couple to have lasted so long in Hollywood! It feels like we rarely see couples on these late night shows.
  • her laugh is literally everything. i adore this woman & it's painfully obvious that julius does, too. i'm so grateful for how far she's come since the "mainstream success" of htgawm. there is nothing that this queen can't do. 🥰
  • Viola and Julius are such a fun couple! I love the way they just bubble over together and do the same movements as one. They obviously have a deep connection. Can't wait to see them act together as M. Jordan's parents!

    Her laugh is so contagious! I love her!
  • @kmabythesea
    THIS IS THE COUPLE OF THE CENTURY! So glad for their happiness and success.
  • @HH-gv8mx
    What a great couple! And her husband seems like such a gentleman. They don’t make men like this anymore.
  • @johntoth9523
    We can thank Jimmy for this wonderful segment. He tees it up for amazing people, and then gets out of the way so they can truly shine. So few hosts are able to do that.
  • @sgarrita2561
    Omg they are so adorable and hysterical together 😂😂❤
  • @j.cutrone
    I just love them! I hope Viola wins her second Oscar soon. 💙
  • @CJCurlee
    im listening to her book on audio right now and I will just say.... DO IT! Its fantastic and hard to find a place to pause. She narrates it and its just her TELLING A STORY and WOW what a story! Viola Davis is my own personal hero
  • @Wiseguyy007
    What an incredible couple. 🎉 May God Keep them forever.
  • @ReadingF.758
    You can see how they let each other shine and you can see there is strong chemistry and adoration for each other. See how he wants to plan a lovely surprise for her...he knows he is a king because he has a queen. so precious.
  • @2005SHERWIN
    What a great couple. Don’t you just love the chemistry between them? This interview was just the therapy I didn’t know I needed. Had me smiling the whole time.
  • Adorable watching soul mates interact. So alike, yet so different at the same time.
  • @ndo533
    They're like grandma and grandpa already 😭😭 the comfort and ease in their chemistry is so palpable and flavorful. They're just...balanced. I can imagine sitting at the foot of their rocking chairs just watching them be so playful 😍
  • Viola & Julius are so adorable. It’s wonderful to see a couple who can can laugh & have fun together. Julius is not threatened by Viola’s achievements, he supports her, and they’ve built a beautiful life together.
  • @shakinahs
    Congrats 🎉 to 20yrs. I love them both. I saw them together giving a tour of their home, which is beautiful inside and out. I love their chemistry and laughing spirit together, not to mention 20 years of experiences, challenges, and good times. I honestly want to watch “Air” more bc of them, knowingly MJ is not appearing in it. ❤️
