You look great.
And it's so great to see you.
Where are you right now?
I am in London.
And what time is it--
what time is it?
It's 11:15, 11:30.
And I'm wearing my glasses because my eyes couldn't
take the contact anymore, the contact lenses, so I apologize.
No.
Those glasses look good on you.
You should wear them often.
And am I keeping you up?
Is this usually your bedtime or do you usually stay up late?
I'm so excited to see you.
I would be excited to see just about anyone
because of the lockdown.
but I am so excited that it is you.
So I don't mind to stay up late.
Well thank you so much.
I'm excited to see you too.
And this year, you were in People's Most Beautiful
issue in the Beauty's Best Friends section.
And your best friend is an owl.
I was hoping to meet it today.
Where is-- look how beautiful.
I love owls.
Where is your-- what is your owl's name?
Her name is Kering.
All right.
And where is she?
Somebody is trying to bring her.
And let's see if she's going to want to come.
OK.
Yes.
If I go, she comes.
But I didn't have time to go there to get her.
So they're trying to get her.
She might come to say hello to you.
OK.
I would like to see her.
And have you had her since she was a baby?
Yes, pretty much.
Yes.
She's very funny.
Yeah.
Owls are very funny.
And she sleeps with you, but how do you--
aren't they nocturnal?
She only sleeps with me when my husband is not in town.
He won't have it.
He puts up with a lot.
But of course, he's not going to sleep with an owl in the room.
So when he's out of town, she sleeps with me.
And what happens is that I-- eventually, I go to sleep,
and she just keeps flying around the room.
She comes and snuggles before.
Sometimes in the middle of the night,
she just like lands on my head.
It's a little bit jarring, but I'm kind of used to it.
The worst is when your feet come out of the sheets,
and she thinks that your toes are mice.
And she just flies in and grabs them.
That can be pretty terrifying.
Yeah.
I would think that's not pleasant
when you're sound asleep and an owl
thinks that your toe is a mouse.
That would be a--
Exactly.
I tried to put socks on at least for some protection.
Yeah.
And it sounds like you have hairy toes as well.
No I don't have hairy toes.
Well, if she thinks it's a--
Why?
I have to check.
All right.
She thinks they're mice.
You should get a friend for her.
Don't you think you should get her
a boyfriend, because I think they are monogamous for life?
Yes, but they choose it.
They're not like the most sociable, not even
with other animals.
And also it's a rescue.
So how am I going to find another rescue that
eats the same kind?
That I know she's going to fall in love with and not hate?
Because you know that's not so simple to find
the right mate for life.
I know it's not my problem.
I'm just saying do it.
OK.
I'd love to.
I know.
And I love owls.
I think they're incredible.
And so that's your only pet?
You only have an owl?
No, I have many pets.
But you know what?
I'm very excited about what you just said.
I might have to do it and just tell my husband,
hey, go talk to Ellen.
It was her idea.
I have dogs.
I have dogs, horses, alpacas--
with the cat, unfortunately.
I have bunnies, chickens.
I love-- I love dogs.
I love dogs, horses.
I love animals, all kinds of animals.
Yeah.
So do I. So do I. It sounds like you live in heaven.
That's amazing.
And you have a 13--
your daughter's 13 now.
I cannot believe that.
I know.
It's exciting and scary at the same time.
Oh no.
She's here, but she's got a mouse in her mouth.
That's all right.
That's nature.
They interrupted her dinner.
What do we do?
Yeah.
They interrupted her dinner.
I kind of freak out about her eating the mice.
I did try to Google if it was possible for them
to go vegetarian, but it's not for her.
No.
She's over here.
They can't be vegetarian.
I hope she doesn't fly on me when she has the mouse.
Let's keep talking and let's see is she comes over.
Yeah.
She's over here.
They definitely should not have interrupted her
while she was eating a mouse.
That was not that important.
I know.
People don't understand.
When she's eating a mouse, that's her time.
That's OK.
Let's see if she lands on your head with the mouse.
So you're spending a lot of time in London.
And it must be warm there, because you're
posting bikini photos.
Is it warm there?
No, I have a trick.
I go on a diet like a severe diet for a short amount of time
right before I go on vacation.
I take a lot of pictures.
Once I have them in the camera, I start eating again.
I save the pictures, and I start releasing them
like every month, every couple of weeks
so that people can think that I stay like that.
But no, I don't stay like that, except for the two
weeks before we go on vacation, then I go back into shape.
That's my trick.
You're not only beautiful.
You're smart.
That's really, really clever.
Hey, listen.
Is it coming?
We have to take a break.
But when we come back, maybe she'll be on your shoulder
and be done with the mouse.
All right.
We'll be right back.
So the owl is just finishing off the mouse on your chandelier?
Yeah.
That's it.
Yeah.
That's it.
Yeah.
That's what's happening in my house.
When people come over, Selma, and there's an owl--
do people know?
Do they expect that?
They already know you have an owl?
Or do you surprise them sometimes?
She kind of lives among the house, so sometimes I forget.
And there's sometimes that people
come to work on the house or something.
And it's so funny, because I've seen like really big guys,
workers that--
all of a sudden, she flies on top of them, and they go ah!
Not even with the snake do they get so scared, because they're
not expecting it.
Right.
And I find it hilarious.
I love it.
But I don't do it on purpose.
But when it happens, I do enjoy it.
Yeah.
It's just funny that you forget that you have
an owl living in your house.
No, I don't feel it.
I don't know where it is, you know?
And aren't there droppings of things?
If it's just hanging out on a chandelier,
do you find droppings on your expensive furniture?
Um, no.
Yes.
I kind of time it.
But sometimes, it just doesn't go that way.
The worst is when they like--
there's this ball of hair that comes out of their mouth.
Yeah.
After they eat the animal, then they
regurgitate the hair of the animal.
Yep.
Yes.
And one time, there was a very important celebrity.
I will not say his name.
And he was really excited about the owl
and was hoping that the owl would go in his head,
because it was on me.
And he's like, oh, I need an owl in my life.
How do you do that?
And the minute he least expected it, it came on he said.
But then he did the thing.
And this thing came out.
This ball of rat hair was on his head.
He was OK.
Yeah.
No.
That happens.
It happens sometimes when you have guests in this house.
Come on, baby.
Look at that beautiful thing.
Oh my--
Say hello.
Oh.
Now, I'll show you what--
this is what happens.
This is what happens when I'm watching television.
She's on the monitor.
And this is how I watch television
with an owl on top of my computer
or my iPad and the television further.
I love that owl.
Hey, let's talk about your movie, Hitman's Wife's
Bodyguard.
It is-- and it's you and Ryan Reynolds and Morgan Freeman
and--
Sam Jackson, Samual L. Jackson.
Sam Jackson.
Great cast.
Yeah.
It is so good.
Tell everybody what it's about.
And it's hilarious.
OK.
So Sam and I are married and the mafia has taken my husband.
So I think he told me to go get Michael Bri--
Bryce, but I called him Bryce--
and to help me recover him.
But he said get everyone but Michael Bryce,
because they hate each other.
And then we go together on an adventure
at some point, the three of us.
And there's a lot of action, but it's also a story about family.
And it's also a story not about falling in love,
but staying in love, and dealing with menopause,
at least for me.
Oh.
OK.
That must have been a back story, because you
don't mention it in there.
But the locations are--
come on.
Who's not going to want to do that movie?
There was-- you're all over the place in beautiful locations.
It's Portofino and everywhere.
It was just-- it's fun to watch, you're hilarious,
and please come see us soon.
Who's the celebrity?
Just before you go, who was the celebrity
that the owl was sitting on?
You can tell us.
Harry Styles.
That's what I thought.
I hope I'm not in trouble.
He was super cool by the way.
He was super cool even with that happening.
Yeah.
That's hilarious.
I'm going to bring it up next time I see him.
Oh no.
No, he's the best.
I know.
I adore him.
Hey, listen.
I hope to see you in person soon.
I miss you.
I'm so happy to talk to you.
And take care of yourself.
And again, let's try to see each other in person.
Yes, yes, promise next time.
All right.
I'll bring a dog or something else.
No.
I'm bring in my alpaca.
I'll bring it with the--
No.
We want the owl.
The owl or nothing.
All right.
The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is in theaters tomorrow.
We'll be right back.
