IT’S HARDLY UNUSUAL to see a female performer getting coaxed into a discussion surrounding her physical appearance by a chatshow host during a press junket.
It is unusual, however, to see Ellen DeGeneres do the coaxing as was the case when Sandra Bullock appeared on her show this week to promote Ocean’s 8.
So, let’s talk about this facial that you’re obsessed with? Did you get the whole cast of Ocean’s 8 to try it?
Seriously? Ellen cares about facials?
But all props to Sandra, she didn’t seem put out by the beauty-inspired line of questioning, and began slowly explaining what the procedure entails.
It’s this way in which one forces – through microneedling - it pushes through the skin and ruptures the collagen and boosts it. You look like a burn victim for a day, but then…
Wait though, wait. Ellen needs more detail.
What are you pushing into the skin, Sandra? What are you pushing into the skin?
And then we all started getting a little scared. What was with the 3rd degree?
You’re pushing in whatever the facialist would like to insert into your pores. It is an extraction from a, um, piece of skin that came from a young person far, far away….
And suddenly Ellen couldn’t take it any longer.
It’s foreskin from a Korean baby. That’s what it is.
And now we know. That’s how 53-year-old Sandra Bullock looks the same as she did in the early 80s.
Defending herself against a clearly incredulous Ellen, the Oscar-winner attempted to serve up a little perspective.
It’s not like I’m lying there with little pieces all over my face. Well, I call it the penis facial and I think when you see how good it is for your face you too will run to your local facialist and say, ‘Give me the penis.’ That’s what’s going to happen.
And yeah, Ellen wasn’t having that.
Skip ahead to 2.45 for that all-important beauty chat.
