Kobe Bryant pranks confused aesthetician on 'Ellen'

LOS ANGELES, April 27 (UPI) -- Recently retired NBA star Kobe Bryant appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday to discuss his career and take part in a hidden camera prank.

The skit started with Bryant meeting with an unsuspecting aesthetician to discuss a fake and severe sweating promblem he was having.

With DeGeneres in his ear telling him what to say, Bryant hilariously portrayed a worried athlete who is constantly made fun of for leaving behind massive puddles of sweat.

"I sweat a lot. Too much," the athlete explained before pulling out a jar filled with his alleged sweat. "This right here is a jar of my sweat from the last game. Just the first quarter, actually," he continued. "I'm going to sell it on eBay, but if you want to buy it I'll give you the first crack at it."

Appearing weirded out, the aesthetician continued to hear Bryant out despite his weird claims about how his sweat would travel throughout his body. "It starts on my upper left cheek. Sorry, I mean my buttocks," he explained much to the audience's delight. "It starts on my cheeks and starts dripping down to my knee. It drips back up. It keeps just going up, up, up to my ear, wraps around my neck and then from there it's like a shower. I'm just soaking wet. Just drenched."

Finally, DeGeneres had Bryant admit that she was telling him what to say after he had taken the woman's glasses and started jumping in circles attempting to get himself to sweat."There's a voice in my head that's talking to me," Bryant revealed. "Her name is Ellen DeGeneres."

Bryant's appearance on the daytime show follows his last NBA game which concluded with the legendary Los Angles Lakers star scoring 60 points in a victory over the Utah Jazz.
