That time Sarah Paulson, Marcia Clark drank tequila

Blame it on the alcohol!

On Tuesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Sarah Paulson told the show's host about a time when she had "a lot" of tequila with Marcia Clark, the person who inspired her role for The People v. O.J. Simpson mini-series.

"It was really fun," Paulson said. "It was like the mole kept moving all over her face in my mind. I was like, 'Is that you? Oh, now, it's on your forehead. What's happening?'"

During her appearance, Paulson also admitted that she was so excited to meet one of the prosecutors from the O.J. Simpson trial that she made "pig noises" upon laying eyes on her.

"I had spent so much time with my nose sort of in a book about her — her actual book, the Toobin book — that when I saw her, it was like seeing someone I'd idolized or had a terrible crush on for my whole life or something," Paulson said.

The American Horror Story star also had a fangirl moment with Cher, as you'll see in the clip above.
