Birthday tradition
Chelsea talked about how she always goes skiing on her birthday while wearing scant clothing during a recent interview on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show'. "My birthday's coming up. I'm leaving here and I'm going to Whistler. This is where I go for skiing – I love skiing, skiing is my passion." "So every year I film a birthday video celebrating myself skiing topless down a mountain." It's become like a ritual for me," Handler explained. "Every year I have to kind of up it."
Chelsea discussed some of her potential ideas when Jennifer Hudson asked the author of 'Uganda Be Kidding Me' about how she planned to top skiing topless. "I have to either ski down a harder mountain or moguls I think would be funny with my boobies out because they would be like all over the place. We're gonna try some different terrain, or I'm gonna get one of my dogs involved and put them in a BabyBjörn on my back or something. 'The Chelsea Does' star went on to say, "That's how I celebrate. I mean, I'm gonna be 48 and after a while it's like, birthdays...I don't care." "I've had all those big birthday parties. I love to ski. My three passions are reading books, smoking pot and skiing. That's what I feel most passionate about in life," she said. Handler opened up about how getting older has freed her from insecurity, declaring, "People thought I didn't care in my 20s, now I really don't care. I'm so confident. I'm so happy being a women." "I used to be scared to grow up because I didn't want to be mature with responsibilities, and then I realized I could grow up and be mature with no responsibilities," she said.
On her 47th birthday
Chelsea has been celebrating her birthday following the same tradition for the past three years. In 2022, she used the Dr Dre song 'The Next Episode' with Snoop Dogg as the soundtrack to her antics while skiing, and she donned American flag pasties in place of a top. She was dating comedian Jo Koy at the time, and he shared the footage on his Instagram. "47. Doing all the things I love with the man I love," she wrote as the caption for the video.
