Catherine Zeta-Jones made a memorable appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, teaching Ellen a thing or two about sword fighting and opening up about her husband, Michael Douglas. The chat show host, Ellen Degeneres, always knows how to make her guests feel at home, and this time was no exception.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, known for her roles in films such as “Chicago” and “Ocean’s Twelve,” showed off her stunning Halloween costume on the show. Dressed as a Serbian Baltic Croatian Yugoslavian polish dancing princess (quite a mouthful!), she certainly caught everyone’s attention. Ellen couldn’t help but remark how the costume drove her husband, Michael Douglas, wild.
But Halloween holds a special meaning for Catherine Zeta-Jones as it is also her daughter’s birthday. Francis, her first child, was born on this spooky holiday, making it even more memorable for the family. Catherine shared how her planned C-section date was actually a few days later, but her daughter had other plans. She went into labor unexpectedly and ended up driving herself to the hospital with her mother as the passenger. Talk about a Halloween tale to remember!
During the interview, Ellen couldn’t help but ask about Catherine Zeta-Jones‘s thrifty habits, something the actress often talks about. Catherine revealed her practical side, admitting that she saves Halloween candy from the previous year and hands it out again to trick-or-treaters. Ellen jokingly warned the audience not to go to Catherine’s house if they knew where she lived, as they might end up with some “old” candy.
Aside from her fun Halloween stories, Catherine also showcased one of her husband’s inventions, which left Ellen amazed. Michael Douglas had come up with a clever solution for those moments when you need to scrape something off the floor but don’t want to bend over. He took a spatula and duct-taped it to a broom for easy cleaning without the hassle. Catherine called it a genius invention and even suggested it could make a great stocking stuffer. The audience couldn’t help but appreciate Michael Douglas‘s creativity.
Catherine Zeta-Jones‘s appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show proved once again why she’s a beloved guest. Her charm and wit captivated both Ellen and the audience, making for an entertaining and lively episode. Fans of Catherine and the talk show won’t want to miss this enchanting conversation.
