“So my thought was, ‘I’m on a show and Sid and Nancy are on this show. And I’m in too, so hello,” Williams said.
She added that they replied, “Great! We can’t wait to see it. And that was it. We were best friends.”
Fallon asked if she ever got a “star punch” at the Met Gala, and she admitted she does, “but I’m really trying to play it cool and not overdo it.”

However, she admitted that sometimes “it doesn’t go well,” adding that she was once backstage at a U2 concert with Bono.
“Bono was backstage and everyone wanted to say hello to Bono and I didn’t want to say, ‘Hi, I’m Maisie, I know who you are’. But then I just said, ‘Hi, I’m Maisie. What is your name?”
‘He was just like, ‘What are you doing?’ I played it way too cool,” admits Williams.
