Steve Zahn‘s appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show had viewers in stitches when he shared a hilarious story about his driver’s license photo. The talented actor, known for his comedic roles, revealed that he recently moved to Kentucky to live on a small horse farm. As Ellen questioned him about his new lifestyle, the conversation took a light-hearted turn towards the subject of his driver’s license.
Zahn explained that in Kentucky, getting a driver’s license is a breeze compared to the process in New Jersey where he used to live. In Kentucky, all it takes is a short visit to a room with a friendly lady who swiftly snaps a photo. Zahn couldn’t contain his excitement, saying, “This is why I moved here!” The actor emphasized the ease of obtaining the license by comparing it to the long lines and camping out required in New Jersey.
The audience burst into laughter when Ellen displayed the driver’s license photo on the big screen. The top of the license proudly displayed “Kentucky – It’s That Friendly.” Zahn revealed that besides representing the state’s friendliness, the photo served another purpose. At the airport, when handing over his license, he would quickly make a goofy face before the authority looked at it, resulting in some hilarious reactions.
Aside from the amusing driver’s license story, the conversation also touched upon Zahn’s recent animated film, Runaway Jury, in which he lent his voice to the character Runt. Zahn explained that the experience of working on an animated film was not new to him, as he previously voiced characters in movies like Chicken Little, Dr. Dolittle 2, and Stuart Little 2.
As the interview progressed, the talk show host couldn’t help but express her admiration for Zahn’s talent and the joy he brings to his work. The actor graciously thanked her, leaving the audience with a sense of excitement and anticipation for his future projects.
Steve Zahn‘s appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show was a delightful mix of humor, anecdotes, and casual conversation. The actor’s hilarious driver’s license photo and his animated film experience added a layer of amusement to an already entertaining interview. With his infectious humor and genuine personality, it’s no wonder audiences continue to adore Steve Zahn.
