Chapter 323 The Ellen Show III (2/2)
”Ye-es,” Kyle replied, wondering where this was heading.
”So confess now. This shot. It was a body double, right?” Ellen said, and a picture of Kyle doing the training routine came on.
It was a frontal body shot, which showed his perfect abs to the world, as he lifted some dumbells in both hands.
As his face was tilted down and to the side (watching the arm that was lifting the weights), one couldn't see the face. His arm muscle could also be seen due to the weights and the whole picture was just breathtaking.
Kyle covered his face and laughed softly, before he brought his hands down, ”No, that's not a body double.”
Ellen's eyes went wide and she said, ”No, that can't be. You're what? 14?”
”Yes, but I'm turning 15 next week,” Kyle replied.
”Still, you're 14 while doing the film. You're a student, aren't you? What sort of student has that sort of physique? Stop lying now?” Ellen said, still smiling while her eyes were twinkling.
”No, no,” Kyle responded, ”I'm not. I also do bouldering, so being fit is just part of it.”
”Ah yes,” Ellen said, nodding, ”You were the youngest ever to win that championship. Congratulations.”
The scene changed to a picture of Kyle with the rest of the team, after receiving their medals and trophy.
”Thank you,” Kyle replied politely, glad that the other picture was gone.
He groaned when it came back immediately.
”Still, that is that. This,” Ellen said, ”still doesn't look like it could be you.”
Keanu nodded, ”Trust me, Ellen. That's all him.”
”Well, it's not that I don't want to trust you, Keanu,” Ellen said, patting Keanu's hand, ”But let's face it. It is pretty unbelievable.”
She gave a rather evil smile towards Kyle, ”Why don't you show us, and the audience, solid proof?”
”Oh, come on Ellen!” Kyle said, ”You're really doing this to me? On nationwide television?”
Ellen gave him a look, used her thumb to point to the picture behind and said, ”That scene is in the movie and it's going to be shown worldwide. You expect me to believe that you're shy now? Or is it because it isn't you?”
Ellen faced the audience, ”What do you say?”
The audience played along (there were cue cards telling them to do so, actually) and Keanu just laughed at Kyle's discomfort. Keanu patted Kyle's shoulder while Kyle groaned loudly.
”She has a point, you know,” Keanu said, throwing Kyle under the bus.
”Et tu, Keanu?” Kyle lamented.
With the audience egging him on, Keanu pushing at him and Ellen giving him that smug look, Kyle stood up and pulled up his sweater halfway up. The camera zoomed in, and his six-pack was captured perfectly and shown at the big screen behind.
The audience screamed.
This time, they did not need any cue cards.
