Sarah Paulson got a taste of what it’s like to be her “American Horror Story” character, Ally, while appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
DeGeneres went in for not one, but a triple whammy, of scares that terrified Paulson.
In the first scare, DeGeneres pops out of a closet in the bathroom of Paulson’s dressing room. While discussing that scare, another person comes up behind Paulson and scares her. Still recovering from the second scare, a clown pops up causing Paulson to crawl under a table with fright.
Paulson had a good sense of humor about it post-show, but admits she was truly scared.
This is funny to me now… but in the moment ???I ❤️@TheEllenShow https://t.co/3AOaV8sHjD
