There are more and more reasons why Jason Sudeikis is proving to be a cut above. 

The 46-year-old Saturday Night Live alum visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, Oct. 7. During their chat, Ellen DeGeneres brought up the fact that his 5-year-old daughter Daisy, who he shares with ex Olivia Wilde, shaved off his mustache when he was done filming the second season of his hit Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso

"When you were done shooting, you let your daughter shave your mustache," Ellen mentioned. Jason replied, "Yeah, yeah, just so she knew it was me."

Ellen then pointed out how young the girl is, to which Jason joked, "But I paid her." He added, "She's 5. She was actually 4 at the moment. But it was one of those clippers."

This led Jason to defend the decision by reminding Ellen that she and Olivia actually cut his hair during his appearance on the talk show back in March 2019. In November 2020, E! News reported that he and Olivia, who also share Otis, 7, had ended their seven-year engagement. The Booksmart director is currently in a relationship with Harry Styles.

"But that's my... You and Olivia cut my hair one of the last times I was here," Jason recalled.

"I was gonna say, you're really risky because I cut your hair when you were here last time," Ellen agreed. He confirmed, "Yeah, no—you guys went at it. And now Daisy shaves my mustache. I don't care."

The Emmy-winning actor then added, "I'm going to have Otis wax my chest. That'll be the hardest gig of all. It's a jungle down there."

Back in March 2019, Jason was a guest on Ellen's show when the host explained both she and Olivia felt that the actor's hair, which he had been growing out for a project that was no longer happening, was too long. 

 

"It's the same as my hair," Olivia quipped at the time. "There's only room for one of these in our house." He then took a seat in a barber's chair as they gave him a much shorter 'do.
