Ellen Degeneres

Ellen Degeneres as a TV show host and comedian for years gave off the perception of being relaxed and comfortable. It must have taken years though to shape that persona, as she very famously had to be “in the closet” for a good portion of her career.

That may explain this vintage photo, taken of Ellen with a male date,  where she is doing her best, but it seems to come off more as just plain, uncomfortable. It definitely doesn’t help that her date looks even more awkward than her.
