Keri Russell still sweating during the time they met Hillary Clinton.

During a visit Late evening on Monday the Diplomat actress revealed that her role in Netflix’s political thriller has given her the opportunity to meet several dignitaries over the years, including the former Secretary of State.

“I’m the least interesting, educated person in that room, but it’s (amazing),” Russell explained of her encounter. “I mean I was sitting at that table with Hillary, and I think there were about 20 women that night, these incredibly established brilliant women in London. And it was just incredible.”

It was also quite nerve-wracking. “I sweat all the time,” she added. “I am a sweater.”

Host Seth Meijers Russell asked when exactly do you start to get nervous when you get the chance to meet Clinton. “I’m sweating just thinking about going,” she replied. To which Meyers replied, “So you’re already laying out a real otter paw.”

Russell claimed that she at least tried to keep a cool head outwardly. “No, I’m sure I’m wiping it,” she said of her sweaty hands. “I’m nervous!”

She’s even sought out some unique measures to avoid awkward sweaty situations in the future, including being hypnotized to sweat less. When asked if it was an effective method, Russell simply replied, “Well, I don’t know. I was hypnotized.”

“I have a feeling the hypnotist told you that,” Meyers teased. “He said, ‘Remember, you won’t know if this works because you’re hypnotized.'”

“No, I did it,” she declared. ‘And who knows what they did? I mean, but I guess it kind of worked. Don’t know!”

She’ll have to find out the next time she meets Clinton. For now, watch Russell talk about sweating in the clip above.
