Ellen interviews wife Portia de Rossi
Ellen Degeneres had her wife actress Portia de Rossi on her show this week. The interview might have been awkward and sappy, but the two make a genuinely cute couple. Among the things we learn: Portia is Australian, and Ellen is actually taller than her, though you’d never know it as Portia favors a dangerously tall heel.
De Rossi sticks to bitchy characters, (like in her current show, Better Off Ted) but she comes across as very sweet. She says that’s why she’s attracted to characters who just don’t give a shit, because she herself cares too much about what others think. She’s no Lindsay Bluth Fünke, she just likes to pretend. Enjoy the clip below!
