Claire Danes [1] may be a CIA agent on Homeland [2], but behind the scenes, she was just a snoozefest trying to hide her pregnancy. After recently announcing she and husband Hugh Dancy are expecting their second child together [3], the 39-year-old actress appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [4] where she shared some hilarious anecdotes about her first trimester [5]. "You just feel horrrrrrrible," she said. "You just feel rotten and you're not allowed to say why."

"I was filming quite a lot, and just inadvertently falling asleep all the time, and it was embarrassing," Claire said, detailing one instance when she got carried away during an unintentional nap [6]. "I just face-planted onto this crocheted bag in between takes. . . and it was time for my close up and I sit up and I have this crocheted indentation all on the side of my face. It looked like I had third-degree burns. It was intense. They were massaging my face. They had to get out the blow dryer."

She added, eyes wide and hand over her face: "I halted production for a good half an hour. I just felt like an idiot." Watch the video above and prepare to laugh when Claire compares her womb to an AirBnb [7] ("I'm cohabiting in there").
