Jamie Foxx's hilarious new year fitness goal

Eden Faithfull

It's 'new year, new me' time, and as we ring in a new decade, there's no doubt that many of us have fitness goals that we want to dive into head-first... starting Monday, of course.

Celebs are no different to us, with Jamie Foxx revealing his own fitness insecurities on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

"2020 I got to do legs — I don't ever do legs. Because you know brothers don't do legs," he joked about his toned physique.

"No, no, no. We're big at the top but sort of small at the bottom. Like I could beat you up, but I can't chase you."

The pair discussed the Just Mercy star's fitness routine after Ellen showed the audience a video of Jamie doing pull-ups on yacht, as the A-lister said that the exercise was easy as it was all upper body.

"I don't see a lot of black guys doing legs. I did legs one time in 2019 and I took one of those female squat classes — a butt burn," he revealed.

"Where y'all are just all day, and I couldn't. I don't have calves," he said doing lunges across the stage.

"You're going to be sore tomorrow just after doing that!" Ellen pointed out, in stitches over the star's antics.

Ellen then asked about the rest of the family's sporting achievements, touching on the fact that Jamie has coached his younger daughter's basketball team before.

"My younger daughter is 5'8" and she's 11-years-old," he boasted.

"She didn't like basketball at first because she plays on the all-boys team and the boys wouldn't pass her the ball. But then, 16 points, 12-rebounds, six blocks later and she wins the game. She's now like the go-to."

But what about the coaching?

"I coached one time, but I don't think they'll have me back," he explained.

"I get a little too excited and I get on the court, because I don't think they can hear me, so I go on the court so I'm in the way. And the ref walked up and said, 'I love Django but you've got to get off the court,'" he shared.

It looks like Hollywood celeb Jamie Foxx isn't going to be giving up the script for a whistle and clipboard any time soon, and I think it's safe to say that we (and his daughter) are grateful for it.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show airs weekdays at 12.00pm on Nine. Catch up on latest episodes on 9Now.
