Andie Macdowell has always been known for her charm and beauty, but during a recent appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, she revealed that she turned a small role into a big butt.
The conversation started off with some playful banter between Andie and Ellen about a mystery word. Ellen tried to give Andie hints, mentioning that they were both from the South, but Andie couldn’t guess the word. The two then moved on to discussing Andie’s new movie, “Lawn Chair Popcorn,” but the conversation quickly shifted to Andie’s daughter, who is interested in modeling and acting.
Andie gushed about her daughter’s beauty, both inside and out, and shared that her daughter had modeled for Teen Vogue. Ellen then showed a picture of Andie when she was young and a picture of her daughter, showcasing their striking resemblance.
As the interview continued, Andie revealed that her daughter had been bugging her to get into acting for a while. She explained that her daughter was a talented dancer and had tried different styles, such as ballet and jazz. Andie wished her daughter luck in her pursuits and expressed how proud she was of her.
Returning to the mystery word, Ellen playfully gave Andie more hints, mentioning “dumplings” and “biscuits.” Andie, catching on, excitedly yelled out “gravy!” Ellen agreed but teased that there were more food-related words to come.
Finally, Andie shared a funny anecdote about her character in the movie. Although it was a small role, Andie took it upon herself to pitch an idea to the director. She suggested that her character should have a big butt from eating too many greens. To her surprise, the director loved the idea and allowed her to pad her butt for the role. Andie revealed that they ended up using two pads to achieve the desired effect. She laughed about the attention she received for her “junk in the trunk.”
The conversation then shifted to Southern food, and Andie confessed that the catering on set had been tempting. She mentioned the deliciousness of fried chicken and biscuits, but ultimately concluded that she would rather have a nice umbré.
To end the segment, Andie and Ellen announced that the audience would receive a $100 gift card from Chicos, a store where they can find exclusive women’s clothing and accessories. Both women were excited about the giveaway, and the crowd cheered with enthusiasm.
Andie Macdowell‘s appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show provided a glimpse into her personal life and shared some lighthearted and entertaining moments. From the mystery word game to her daughter’s aspirations and her own humorous experience on set, it’s clear that Andie brings her Southern charm and delightful personality wherever she goes.
