Sally Field candidly admitted that she didn’t find Robin Williams funny when they worked together on their 1993 film “Mrs. Doubtfire.”

The actress, who portrayed Williams’ uptight ex-wife, Miranda Hillard, in the 1993 comedy film, recalled not breaking character despite the late actor making his co-stars laugh.

“It drove him mad, actually, because I would never laugh, ever,” she said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

“And everybody else was laughing and carrying on.”

When host Stephen Colbert suggested that Field was “too professional” for Williams’ antics, she responded, “It wasn’t funny. It just wasn’t funny.”

“Robin was always trying something different to make me laugh,” the “Lincoln” star continued. “It was so unfunny. I can’t begin to tell you.”

It wasn’t until their co-star Pierce Brosnan, who played the role of Stuart “Stu” Dunmeyer, “made a fart noise on his arm” that Field finally cracked.

“He made a fart noise on his arm,” she recalled. “And I was gone. That was it.”

Field shared that Williams was in disbelief, telling her, “That’s all it took?”
