Ellen DeGeneres Just Tried To Mow The Lawn At Her Sprawling UK Estate—And It Went South Fast

The former talk show host shared a video of her attempt at mowing the grass at her massive country estate in the U.K. before having some technical difficulties.

Say what you may about Ellen DeGeneres, but we can all agree that she's always tried to find the funny side in a situation, even if it's something that should be as mundane as mowing the lawn.

DeGeneres left the talk show scene in 2022 after allegations ran rampant about her running a toxic workplace, so when President Donald Trump was elected for a second term, it seemed the perfect time for the entertainer and her wife, Portia de Rossi, to look for greener pastures, namely in the U.K.


Instead of traveling a lot, the former talk show host has developed a hobby of flipping houses, which gives her different projects to work on, followed by a fresh location and "new perspective" to live in for a while.

She's already flipped more than 50 properties, and the latest is a beautiful property in the Cotswolds region of the British countryside, and the yard is made up of rough terrain—wide, rolling hills and vegetation that will challenge even a high-quality lawnmower.

But DeGeneres decided to give it her best try on a lark. And, thinking this new adventure might lead to some comedic moments, de Rossi decided to press that record button—and the results did not disappoint.

DeGeneres starts off mowing slowly on a large yellow riding lawnmower, sporting her new look of dark brunette hair.

But then the video cuts to a scene of DeGeneres and the lawnmower creeping back up one of the property's steep hills as a man attempts to push them back up. The incline proving too steep, the video cuts again, this time to both DeGeneres and the man pushing the lawnmower and de Rossi giggling in the background.

You can watch the video here:

Some fans were thoroughly entertained by the attempt.

It's unclear how much of DeGeneres and de Rossi's decision to move to the U.K. was based on the presidential election or what they will do when future candidates are sworn in, but it's clear for the time being that the pair are enjoying the fresh air, change in lifestyle, and of course, trying new things.

Trump Mocked For Bizarre Denial After Wall St. Journal Reports On His Creepy Birthday Note To Epstein

President Donald Trump was swiftly mocked after he denied he ever "wrote a picture" after The Wall Street Journal reported on a happy birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing Trump’s signature that included a drawing of a nude woman in sharpie pen.

The letter—reportedly sent by Trump at the request of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who compiled the messages into a leather-bound book for Epstein's 50th birthday—dates back 16 years before Epstein was charged with child sex trafficking by the Justice Department in 2019, during Trump’s presidency.
