Ellen DeGeneres‘ face was apparently ID enough to get her past White House security with a bunch of other celebs getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Ellen says she forgot her ID and couldn’t get inside for the ceremony, yet there she was next to Robert De Niro, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jordan, Diana Ross, Tom Hanks and many more.
We’re guessing someone recognized her. Once inside they all did the obligatory Mannequin Challenge. Yeah, it’s getting old hat, but this one’s got the Boss … so, pretty cool.
