Ellen DeGeneres is on a roll. She was just awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and Time magazine recently named a photo she helped orchestrate at the 2014 Oscars to its list of 100 most influential images of all time.

However, a little-known fact about the image, for which DeGeneres takes credit on her show, is that the photo was actually snapped by actor Bradley Cooper, who had a longer arm and was able to get more people in the frame.

The image was retweeted 3 million times, more than any other image in history, Time reports.

Watch DeGeneres discuss the photo and explore some of her recent photographic work.
