Watch Priyanka Chopra, Your New Hero, Do Tequila Shots With Ellen DeGeneres

Priyanka Chopra sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on Tuesday and wasted no time engaging in a classic American tradition: taking shots. "Americans drink a lot," the talk-show host joked while handing the Quantico actress a shot of tequila. Priyanka, our new hero, downed the shot like a champ but revealed her preferred choice of alcohol is red wine, because "it's classy." Although the actress and former Miss World is a bona fide superstar in her home country of India and is gradually taking the US by storm, she told Ellen that her career almost took a very different turn in college. "I wanted to be an aeronautical engineer," she said. "I wanted to make planes, and physics was my favorite subject." We have a feeling she would've made an excellent engineer, but we're also counting our lucky stars that she chose to be an actress, resulting in plenty of steamy moments with Quantico costar Jake McLaughlin.
