Ryan Phillippe Explains the Term 'DILF' to His Mother (VIDEO)

It's not easy being called a "DILF," especially when, like Ryan Phillippe, you have to explain the term to your mother. On 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' (weekdays, syndicated), the actor said he had to define the acronym for his mom after it had been used to describe him.

Phillippe said his mother often takes exception to things written about him in the press. And on one occasion, she questioned the colloquialism that means he's a dad people would like to have sex with.

"She took particular umbrage with this: She said, 'I always read in the comments that they call you a 'DILF,'" said Phillippe. "And she goes, 'I don't like that. I don't know what that means, but I don't like that. What is that, Ryan?'"
