Bruno Mars brought his “Grenade” to “The Ellen DeGeneres” show Thursday (Jan 6), and set that mutha off with a performance of his hit single, as well as a surprise performance of his other hit single “Just the Way You Are.”

The breakthrough R&B singer/songwriter also sat down with Ellen for a quick interview where the two of them discussed his talent and took a trip down memory lane and shared a few laughs about his cameo as “little Elvis” in “Honeymoon in Vegas” when he was just 5 years old.
