Ryan Phillippe pokes fun at an Ellen DeGeneres billboard before joking about Billy Bush while on a run in LA

He certainly found a few endorphins.

And Ryan Phillippe was in a joking mood as he went out for a run in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

The 46-year-old actor caught his breath underneath an Ellen DeGeneres billboard before joking about a Billy Bush ad with his followers on Instagram.

The Cruel Intentions star sweated through a dark blue tank top on his jogging tour through the city of angels.

He snapped a selfie near Ellen’s massive advertisement and wrote: ‘And remember to be kind… wait.’

DeGeneres has been embroiled in a toxic workplace scandal which has taken its toll on viewers with recent Neilsen ratings showing a 38% drop.

The steep decline in viewership of the once popular show suggests that claims from staffers of bullying and harassment from top producers and diva-like behavior from the 62-year-old host are pushing fans away.

Neilsen Media Research, the firm that measures audience size, reported that for Ellen’s September 21 season 18 premiere, the show averaged a 1.2 Live+Same Day household ratings – a 29% drop from her 2019 premiere.

The show is averaging about 1.7 million viewers this season, nearly 38% less than last year, before she had been hit with accusations from both current and former employees that she had fostered a toxic workplace.

Bush was famously fired from his Access Hollywood hosting gig after a 2005 interview surfaced where Donald Trump made lewd comments about Arianne Zucker.

While waiting for Zucker, Trump said: ‘I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the p****. You can do anything.’
