As per E! News, the interview took a lighter turn when Kimmel asked if her family truly made her belly dance during Christmas Eve gatherings. “Anytime, not just Christmas Eve,” she responded, sharing how her Greek heritage led to these family performances.

“The Greeks love any kind of a family dinner. Yes, they would say, ‘Let’s get up and watch’… I get such anxiety when friends do that with their children because of the inner trauma from having to perform and belly dance in front of my great aunts and uncles and grandmothers”, she said. (ANI)
