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 going to 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 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 we're 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]
I was like--
[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 going to 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 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--
[LAUGHTER]
--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.
It was the size-- 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.
Lunge.
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 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 were wide.
They were wide.
On a bicycle--
So when he was lunging, we're like--
[LAUGHTER]
And then at the end--
And then he was on the ground at one point, and stretching.
[LAUGHTER]
And this part, we're like, oh my god.
Like--
[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 going to be hilarious.
This is--
[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?
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
That's crazy.
No.
He's he knows what's going on.
Yeah, he's up with it.
He was so nice.
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.
