Chelsea Handler met US President ‘so stoned’

American comedian and actress, Chelsea Handler opened up about a meeting with former U.S. President George W. Bush on her Netflix special, The Feeling.

Being friends with his daughters, Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, she recalled meeting him “so stoned”.

"I was on four edibles," she explained. "And I told him I was on four edibles! No, it was not embellished."

Being an outspoken Democrat, she was nervous to say something wrong in front of the formerly Republican President so she tried to take the edge off.

"I don't want to be seen with your father, I can't trust myself in the company of your father. I have outbursts," she joked, "And I'm as surprised as the next person when they happen, OK? I don't know when I'm going to go off on someone, and when I do, I'm also scared for that person."

While he was giving her a tour of their house, she couldn’t hold her secret and told him the truth.

Handler said in an interview that his daughters did not care about the story being told in front of an audience, "They were at my show, they saw this show at the Beacon Theatre [in New York City] before I filmed it. So if they had any objections, that was their time to say, but they loved it. They were at my birthday party recently in New York. I love those girls, and no, they understand that, you know, it's all in good fun. I mean, I'm not really saying anything too disparaging about anybody. So that helps."
