-
We know each other.
-
You just haven't been on the show.
-
Yes.
-
Can you explain to people?
-
Because I'd rather hear your version.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
I've never heard your version of the story.
-
But tell people how we know each other.
-
How we met.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
I'm scared, because my husband's gonna kill me for telling this story.
-
But it's my favorite story ever.
-
And it's the story of how Ellen and I met.
-
So Tom and I, my husband, were on our honeymoon,
-
which we delayed because we shot "I, Tonya" at the beginning of the year and last year.
-
And we had just gotten married, but we had to put off the honeymoon part.
-
And so we go to Tahiti.
-
And we go on to this island where you kind of live like Robinson Crusoe.
-
Like, there's just, like, a shack that you stay in.
-
And there's no electricity.
-
And there's no mirrors or anything like that.
-
So we'd been there for four days.
-
And then the last bit of the honeymoon
-
was like a really nice hotel, like a really luxury--it was lovely.
-
And so we get there, but it's raining.
-
And we're like, oh--we, by the way, look disgusting.
-
Because we haven't seen our own reflections in four days.
-
And so we don't know what we look... -By the way, they did not.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
But like, oh, what can we do here when it's raining?
-
And they're like, oh, you know, there's a lovely spa.
-
Or there's the gym.
-
And we're like, oh, I don't really want to work out.
-
But I guess we could do something at the gym.
-
And so we get changed to go to the gym.
-
And Tom puts in these shorts that are, like, his oldest gym shorts.
-
And they're tiny.
-
And they're really short.
-
And there's nothing underneath, so they're-- you know,
-
he gets on his bicycle to ride there.
-
And I was like, whoa.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
I was like, babe.
-
I was like, you cannot wear those shorts.
-
They're, like, you know--I can see everything.
-
And he was like, oh, come on.
-
Who are we going to run into?
-
I mean--
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
--who's gonna be here?
-
And I was like, you're right.
-
I mean, we'd just been on an island where no one else was for so long.
-
So I was like, yeah, you're right.
-
I mean, who are we going to see?
-
And so we walk into the gym.
-
And running on a treadmill is Ellen.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
And--
-
And then on the treadmill next to her is Portia, her wife.
-
So Ellen looks over, and she was like--
-
Wait, and then -Hey.
-
No, no, no.
-
All right, go ahead.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
That's not even the best bit.
-
But already, Tom and I are like, oh my god.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
And Tom's face has just gone white.
-
And you're like, hi, hi.
-
And I was like, oh my gosh. Ellen, so lovely to meet you.
-
And you're like, this is my wife Portia.
-
I was like, lovely to meet you, Portia.
-
I was already starstruck.
-
And then you're like, have you met Obama?
-
And we were like....what?
-
And standing next to them is former President Barack Obama.
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
I'm not kidding.
-
I'm not kidding-- in a gym that is tiny.
-
-Yeah, the gym was the size of this stage. -Like even smaller.
-
It was a very confined space.
-
And we then had to do this whole-- -Oh my god.
-
We had to do this whole class, like this stretching class.
-
But Tom, meanwhile, is trying to not reveal anything.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
And he's dying.
-
And I'm crying so much, I'm about to crack a rib.
-
And literally, this gym instructor keeps saying to Tom, Tom, lunge.
-
Lounge, you're not lunging.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
And Tom's like trying to lunge cross-legged.
-
And Obama is stepping over his legs to put his weights back.
-
And like the whole thing was so absurd.
-
It was... -It was hilarious.
-
I mean, when she says short-shorts, they were--
-
I'm not exaggerating.
-
They were to here--
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
--and wide.
-
Like, they very wide.
-
On a bicycle--
-
When he was lunging, we're like--
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
And then at the end... -And then he was on the ground at one point, and like stretching.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
And this part, we're like, oh my god.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
We literally got to the end of the class.
-
And we're doing a last stretch, which was legs out like this.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
And Tom's now got a towel on his crotch... -Yeah.
-
--trying to be modest.
-
And his face just says it all.
-
He's like, I'm going to kill myself.
-
This is the worst day of my life.
-
And Ellen looks over and goes, boy, those were the wrong shorts to wear today.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
Oh my god, it was hilarious.
-
And then, like two days later... -Way to break the ice.
-
--we get laundry.
-
And I start looking through.
-
I was like, this is the wrong,
-
it's a small, there's only like 10 cabins.
-
Yeah, it's tiny.
-
And I was like, this is not our laundry.
-
And then I come across pink shorts.
-
And I was like, oh, I know whose this is.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
I got Tom's shorts.
-
No, I know where these go.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
Oh, my god. I can't handle it.
-
But I mean, so Obama was...so he was there.
-
He happened to be there writing his book.
-
And so we were working out with him every day.
-
And when you walked in and he's in those shorts,
-
I was like, oh, my god.
-
This is gonna be hilarious.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
It was honestly one of the funniest things that's ever happened.
-
But he's a huge fan of yours, Obama.
-
I didn't even-- I obviously assumed that he would have no idea who I was.
-
But when I walked in, you were like, oh, do you know Obama?
-
I was like, no.
-
I was like, hello, sir.
-
I don't know what to call you.
-
And he was like, hello, yeah.
-
And he goes, you're a very talented actress.
-
And I was like, oh my god, Obama knows who I am.
-
And he's like, we were just talking about you the other night.
-
-I was like, you were? What? You were? -Yeah.
-
That's crazy.
-
No, he's up on. He's he knows what's going on.
-
Yeah, he's up with it.
-
So I got you and Tom a gift.
-
I didn't know if he'd be here today.
-
No.
-
But just so it doesn't happen again--
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
And there's--
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
Oh my god.
-
There's some mesh in here--
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
--to hold it all together.
-
Thank you.
-
You're welcome.
-
Hi, I'm Andy.
