Mandy Moore may be an award-winning actress and singer, but she still has plenty of (actual) mountains to climb.
The “This Is Us ” star shared a few bucket list items in a Monday appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show .” True to her New England roots, the 34-year-old said many of her must-dos involve the great outdoors.
“I would love to do [Mount] Everest base camp, because I’m very much into the hiking and climbing now, ” Moore, who was born in New Hampshire, said. “I wanna learn how to juggle. I wanna learn how to drive a stick shift ... There’s some big ones and some smaller ones.”
As it turns out, Moore checked a big item off her bucket list in April, when she climbed Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro . Still, she said her “germaphobe” tendencies almost got the better of her as she was planning the trip.
“A week on a mountain without showering was terrifying to me,” she said.
Later in the interview, DeGeneres challenged Moore to a game of “Speak Out.” The game an “Ellen DeGeneres Show” staple requires the host to guess what the guest is saying as they wear a plastic mouthguard.
