When Ellen Degeneres saw this clip from a real-life soap opera in Greece, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
Ellen could not believe it when she saw her photo of herself taken when she was at High School she shouted loudly “What, my hair is Like a Greek tragedy”.
The film clip shows the Cypriot actor George Zenios holding the photo of Ellen.
Watch the film clip of the show below.
Responding to DeGeneres via Twitter, Brousco’s producer, director and star Andreas Georgiou said: “Dear Ellen, my name is Andreas Georgiou and I’m the producer, director and leading actor of the Greek soap “Brousco”.
Furthermore to the info of your part in our show, you must know that you are a senseless, cold blooded mother of two…Your have two twin sons that you have to meet. Also, you own a wine company. Don’t u think it’s high time you met your sons:)”
Actor and co-producer Koullis Nicolaou also told Ant-1 Cyprus news that the photo had been downloaded in haste, in a rare rushed moment in the usually careful production of the show and that, while they had not been aware the woman in the photo was a celebrity, Georgiou had thought her appearance and expression perfectly captured the role of ‘Helga.’
Ant-1 describes Brousco as “a romantic and passionate love story. The love of two young people, Achilleas from Cyprus and Melina from Crete, could be based on the timeless story of Romeo and Juliet. This is a modern adaptation of the original myth, telling the story of a great love.”
The series is filmed in Cyprus and Crete and has a cast of both Greek and Greek Cypriot actors.
