The holiday movie finds Ed’s character switching bodies with a teenager due to a planetary alignment.
The entire family follows suit, leading to plenty of holiday hijinks.
“You know, I saw my 17-year-old daughter in the movie,” Sunny told Ed.
She saw a lot of her only daughter, Paloma, in the movie.
Ed pointed out that he was able to draw experiences from his own teenager to play his role as the father.
“I love the movie because it was my life,” Sunny explained.
“The messy bedroom, and all — she’s gonna hate I just said that, so let me move on,” she continued with a sheepish grin after realizing she just slipped up and told a personal detail about Paloma.
Sunny laughed and looked over to Whoopi Goldberg.
Whoopi smiled knowingly and nodded as Sunny asked: “Am I right?”
The 55-year-old repeated that she needed to move on.
She didn’t explain why Paloma might “hate” her mentioning the messy room, but she quickly changed the subject.
FEELING SUNNY
During a recent episode of The View, fans in the audience were shocked after Sunny Hostin admitted her real age.
During Whoopi Goldberg’s birthday celebration, the hosts discussed the perception of women aging in society.
The hosts chatted about how supermodel and actress Carol Alt is starting an OnlyFans account at 62.
Carol’s account will include “tastefully done” nude photos.
The intention, Whoopi explained, is to show how beautiful women could be at any age.
“I think it will make a lot of people feel like that,” Sunny admitted.
“Because I’m 55 now,” she said as she deepened her voice jokingly.
“I’m still saying it like that,” Sunny repeated, saying “I’m 55 now” in a funny voice once more.
“In this business in particular and in a lot of businesses, any woman over 50 is dead,” she said.
“Well, that’s what they’d like you to think,” Whoopi joked after Sunny’s revelation.
After Sunny made her admission, that prompted fans to chime in on social media about what they thought.
One wrote: “Oh wow.. #AuntySunny is 55 and I’m 50.. #TheView.”
Another commented: “I cannot believe Sunny is 55!!”
A third fan wrote, incredulously: ” Sunny is 55?! Aint NO way!!!!”
SUNNY’S SECRET
Sunny made another interesting personal admission recently.
She got very personal on Thursday’s installment of The View: Behind the Table podcast.
Executive producer Brian Teta caught up with Sunny, 55, for their weekly chat on the podcast when he mentioned that he recently discovered that his colleague used to date a well-known actor.
He revealed that Sunny was romantically involved with The Cosby Show’s Carl Anthony Payne, 54, who played Cockroach on the series.
“I hate that that was his name on the show. Yes, his name is Carl Anthony [Payne] in real life. I called him Anthony,” Sunny noted.
“He was on [the sitcom] Martin. He directs now also. He’s a working actor,” the talk show host explained.
Sunny then detailed her relationship with the TV star, his co-stars on the show, and other big-name celebrities.
“I would hang out with Anthony and Malcolm-Jamal [Warner],” she said. “They were good friends with Chris Rock, so I actually hung out with Chris.”
Brian then asked when their relationship came to be, to which Sunny replied it was the “late ’80s.”
“Okay, so he’s on The Cosby Show at this point. Did you visit the set?” Brian prodded.
“Yes, I did. I met Bill Cosby. I met Phylicia Rashad. I still know her,” Sunny said.
