Watch Reese Witherspoon Try Her Best Not to Eat Adam Rippon Alive During Their First Meeting
CelebritiesDirt BagLast month, Rippon told NBC News, “I have many emotions when I step on the ice. I want to represent my country to the best of my abilities. I want to make Reese Witherspoon proud.” Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert facilitated their first meeting. Here’s how it began:
ADAM: This is great.
REESE: This is meant to be.
ADAM: This is so good.
REESE: This is the relationship the world has been waiting for.
When asked to give their first impressions of the other, Witherspoon said, “You smell really good. You’re more handsome in person than even on the ice.”
Rippon, on the other hand, ignored the question and went off on a tangent. “Can I share something with you guys? I promised the sound guy Brian—he’s so sweet—I promised him I wouldn’t take this off,” he says before removing his medal and handing it to Reese. “I really needed this today—meaning Reese—because before I got out here my life was in shambles…I wanted to look my best for you, and I lost a button.” He then opens up the malfunctioning shirt to reveal his stomach. “I’m embarrassed but I’m not. Do you know what I mean?”
“Totally,” Witherspoon responds. “But you know what? It’s good if you just put a necklace over it. Then nobody will notice.”
This goes on and on and on, and you’ll have to watch the video to experience just how awkward and funny the whole thing is. While I was expecting Witherspoon to put on that questionable Southern charm and overdo her excitement to the point of my own exhaustion, nothing she’s doing here feels like an act. This appears to be a woman trying to contain her excitement, and it’s making her uncomfortable and shaky and bad with words.
When she says he’s “more handsome in person” it looks like she’s about to grab a knife and fork and eat him right up, y’all!!!
