Ellen opened the segment by recounting Jennifer’s admission that she used to imagine going it big and being interviewed by her while relaxing in the bathroom.
“Not to brag, but we’re neighbours,” she added. The Dark Phoenix actress currently lives in a house next to the comedian, which Ellen previously owned before moving next door.
The talk show host shared that Jennifer told her about her bathroom fantasies while getting ready for the interview.
“When she was a kid in Kentucky, she used to sit on the toilet and pretend I was interviewing her,” Ellen recounted, before joking that the actress was “on her toilet in right now” as she called him on the phone.

Once she got Jennifer on the phone, Ellen reminded her that it had been “ten years” since she was last on the show.
“I always imagined that I would interview you on the toilet. And then you never told me that when you were here, Ellen opened. “I guess you’re home because you have a baby and that you can’t be here. You’re in the bathroom with the baby.

“By the way, I sometimes hear you talking to him, and it’s really cute,” she added, indicating that the actress shared a baby boy with husband Cooke Maroney.

The comedian then asked if Jennifer had ever imagined being interviewed by other celebrities while on the bathroom.
Oprah [Winfrey], obviously. A little of [David] Letterman,” she replied.
“But I was really on your show. So pretty much every time it was a number two, it was you,” she joked.
‘Wow! I’m honoured,’ Ellen said to laughter from the audience, before noting how much of a climb her friend had made.
“Being in Kentucky, sitting on the toilet pretending someone’s interviewing you, then ending up being a big superstar, and now being interviewed talking about sitting on the toilet pretending to be interviewed “, she said.

“Yeah, I mean, I showed up really hard there. Perhaps that’s the lesson: take your time. Don’t rush,” Jennifer said, laughing at her double-mindedness.
Jennifer said she imagined the interviews from age 13 to 17, her “toilet training years”.
She imagined the host bombarding her with questions: “How did you get so pretty? You’re probably the prettiest person I’ve ever seen.” And I’d be like, ‘Oh come on, I’m definitely not the prettiest person you’ve ever seen.’
Jennifer ended the interview by admitting the project she most regretted missing out on.
“Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland,” she said. ‘Because I walked in and spoke with a British accent, thinking there was no way they would find out I wasn’t actually British. So when I didn’t get it, it felt like a failure on all sorts of fronts.
