Sigourney Weaver Teaches Ellen How to Interact with Gorillas

Sigourney Weaver played iconic conservationist Dian Fossey in "Gorillas in the Mist," and now that Ellen is preparing to build a research center for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, the actress gave Ellen a few tips on how to talk to the majestic creatures.

[@ashhernon2053]

Sigourney Weaver is both the most badass but graceful person in all of existence, she’s so amazing

[@joeleugene9735]

i know it is kind of off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@alexisdante1061]

@Joel Eugene try flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@TheAndrewRitchie]

Sigourney is pure class, grace and elegance - not to mention a pioneer for women in cinema. Fabulous lady!

[@HyborianAge]

She is not a woman. Pioneer maybe but not for women.

[@kkandsims4612]

Legit and I know some actress and actors don’t need an Oscar to be a staple Meryl Streep is a great actress but sigourney Weaver made history not just for women in movies but women everywhere Meryl just makes good movies some with Susan Sarandon in. Thelma and Louise that movie changed the game not as much but sigourney Weaver I will always remember as the warden in holes first movie I saw her in she become my icon for years till michelle fairly one got aka catelyn stark kicked her off.

[@demacto13]

Sigourney will always be an icon and one of the first badass iconic female protagonist to exist in a film.

[@HumanStateOfEmergency]

Prayers for Bobby made me appreciate Sigourney in so many ways! An extremely talented and kind human being she is. I recommend you all watch that movie.

[@hinhwood1629]

She's so great. An actress who has done great work for years without turning herself into a plastic surgery mess.

[@superlex611]

HinHwood welk explained, she is so natural

[@jazehummingbird3808]

Yep

[@Cece7060]

That is factssss she is still gorgeous

[@RocketOcean18]

She has aged extremely well!

[@ShireenPlays]

I am constantly in awe of Sigourney Weaver, if I am ever blessed to be in her presence I would probably fall to the ground in shock - she is such a precious person!

[@bellelover101]

ShireenPlays I met her once and it was...it was incredible. She’s REALLY tall and beautiful and perfect.

[@Simoner77]

I met her at the Calgary Expo in 2014, shes beautiful, tall and when I told her how her strong characters have inspired me she took my hand, stood up and gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek. It was amazing :)

[@helixmoore7636]

Simone Cox Youre lucky

[@shaheen408]

Been a fan of Sigourney Weaver for over 30 year's, always hoped Ellen would have her on the show. Two great role models. Thank you 👍👍👍

[@djstuntfox]

Sigourney Weaver is the definition of Class. I would cry if I met her.

[@assassindancer914]

Willis Allen Jr I would die

[@Simoner77]

I met her! after being a fan since I was 7 (I'm 40 now :) ) she was so nice, gave me a hug and she is just beautiful

[@dearmimi1072]

Willis Allen Jr I would too! She's just so great.

[@sophieherbert2116]

Haha shes my family friend! I live i the uk and she came to visit me afew months agooooo

[@kaitlynnealtman5058]

Simone Cox awww how were you able to meet her? i wanted to meet her at a con in NY or NJ but i’m not sure if she goes to those :(((

[@ladyyuna2000]

I watch that movie Gorillas in the Mist and I loved it so much and it brought tears to my eyes. Please protect the Gorillas they are a beautiful animal.

[@j.b.9260]

She's wearing her hair long again. Yes! She may be 40 years older than me, but she's one of my dream women.

[@rollingtongueEspanol]

Sigourney is such an awesome human being

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

She is...I'm excited to see her in the upcoming Avatar movies,I LOVED her in the first one :) The only role I didn't like her in was "Working Girl" she played such a bitch in that movie,and it seemed contrary to what she is in real life

[@sarahfranks9533]

+Sunshine Hornick yes but she still did a great job with her character even if she waz a bitch. working girl would not have been the same with out her

[@digantkaushik2389]

She is indeed a legend and played one of the first badass female characters on screen. She changed the game for every female actor.

[@Littlething41]

In my mind she's my auntie! haha Something about her just draws you in. Maybe it's her voice. We watched "Gorillas In The Mist" when it came out as a school project. Very emotional movie. Sigourney made you feel like you knew Dian Fossey. Powerful movie to be moved by it so at the age of 11.

[@ohyeahreplay]

Sigourney Weaver is my childhood hero!

[@SecondTheScene]

I could listen to Sigourney talk all day

[@emucockarosabudgie]

Sigourney Weaver has been my hero since I was 13 (now 45) and I continue to love everything she does and everything about her. I know I'll never get to meet her, but I reckon she'd be as delightful and down to earth as I imagine her to be.

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

I love Sigourney so much! Give her an Oscar!!!

[@eliekabasha2236]

Dian was such a great figure to Rwandan communities, my grandpa nicknamed my sister nyiramacibiri that was dian’s nickname

[@Elinekee1x]

After two years of working for WWF I dearly love this. I was one of those ‘annoying clipboard people’ on the streets, but our cause was letting people adopt a Silverback from the Virunga. I love how one of the most influencal people on this earth is now speaking up for the same as me. Thank you Ellen!

[@jaceyp.8457]

she's almost 70 years old... WHAT!!!

[@sherrynestyak433]

Sigourney Weaver is such an interesting person. I could listen to her talk for hours... she could literally read me a cookbook and I would love it.

[@nataliepotesta1995]

I have loved that movie since the first time, it is truly my favorite, I have always admired and loved Dian Fossey and Thank you BOTH for all you do. I hope to someday go and see them in person in Africa and be a part of what it takes to protect them. THANK YOU OXOXOXOOXOXOXOXO

[@jenniferbeck4936]

Diane Fossey was an amazing woman and she did so much ...

[@rtjahyadi7868]

Her acting in Prayers for Bobby was just brilliant!!!!!

[@alexcorralgarcia]

Sigourney just gets prettier with age 😫

[@katekane6697]

She is such a legend!!

[@RozannesWildlifeTravels]

What an extraordinary interview!!!! I traveled w/ leading primatologist on orangutans in rainforests of Borneo & had the most AMAZING experiences-like traveling w/the late Dian Fossey to see gorillas!!!

[@offthecuff454]

oh how wonderful!!! two years ago I had an affinity for gorilla's and started painting and pen and inks of baby and mama gorillas, all i wanted was a baby gorilla... well, or to visit them. I'm so glad you love them and are going to visit them in June! How exciting and yayyyy! how amazing you and Sigourney are! :D

[@Hollins23]

7:00 - 7:01 I loved that look of disbelief on Ellen's face! She's hilarious!!

[@Fluffy311Ninja]

I love Ellen to death one thing I noticed is when somebody on her show grabs her she kind of pulls away this is the first time we're actually seen her move forward so that the guest could actually have a better grip on her hand. I really get a kick out of this because this is the first time I'm kind of seeing Ellen Starstruck and I love it. Anybody that watches Ellen hears Ellen's voice I think is instantly star-struck because Allen is just amazing and wonderful and caring and so sweet and such a Pioneer and how could you not love her. I'm totally gushing over this amazing woman. I love Sigourney Weaver too.

[@Fluffy311Ninja]

Omg Ellen*

[@bradp4788]

I absolutely adore Sigourney!! Ellen Ripley is my hero 😌

[@lesleymacquarrie7483]

Ripley is a can do woman!

[@lisadee4490]

i’m so happy seeing her being interview by Ellen Working Girl and Gorilla In The Mist

[@octaviancaesarhibernicus4447]

[@ashikmd.rashid6284]

She looks pretty graceful for her age.😊

Ashik Md. Rashid and 'not for her age,' just graceful😊

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

Yes,she would be graceful at ANY age :)

[@lisadee4490]

Ashik Md. Rashid yes she is

[@sarahfranks9533]

she is still so beautiful!!!!! wonderful actresss

[@stephaniezimbalist3757]

Yes, I am so grateful that she didn't succumb to the pressure to get plastic surgery. It's much better to mature into an older handsome woman then become a weird Catface lady.

[@dansmith6856]

Sigourney is completely amazing.

[@vansiev7254]

Ellen, you're so funny and I love your shows so much. With the big love.😍😍😍😆😆😆😅

[@melthevintagecat5769]

I remember being twelve and seeing Ghostbusters for the billionth time, only to have my sexual awakening when the scene of Dana, possessed by Zoul, posing on that chair with the apartment in shambles.

[@Marvelhero24]

I absolutely love Sigourney

[@michellegormly1505]

I grew up in the 80's Sigourney was my idol. The Aliens movies were amazing. I wanted to be Ripley! To watch a video with both her and Ellen..just incredible.

[@afallin]

The Syg.. the sweetest badass woman on Earth's cinema. Female empowering since day 1.

[@allthingsbegin]

Sigourney is absolutely the best actress! She's a wonderful person. She's my favorite actress of all time.

[@TERRYEE88]

She is a National Treasure. Protect her.

[@Netopyr001]

An incredibly beautiful personality. Pleasant, natural, without affection and maniere. Always sympathetic, humanly pleasing speech. She was / is my idol, girlfriend, lover, wife, all that from puberty until now. One and only, Sigourney.
