So Relatable! Ellen DeGeneres Opens Up on Her Teen Years

“Extra’s” Mario Lopez sat down with Ellen DeGeneres, who is celebrating the 16th season of her hit show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

DeGeneres recently posted a throwback photo of herself when she was 16. Of her teen years, she said, “I moved from New Orleans to Atlanta, Texas. I joined high school and I really didn’t know anybody. I started playing golf because it was the only thing I could do by myself. I made some friends eventually, but it was a really tough transition for me.”

DeGeneres also shared her wife Portia de Rossi’s reaction to her Netflix standup special, “Relatable.” Watch!
