🎬 Jay Ellis Gets Real About Fatherhood, Filming, & ‘Freaky Tales’

Jay Ellis pulled up to “The Jennifer Hudson Show” and gave us the full scoop — and we’re not just talking about Tom Cruise’s famous coconut cake.

The Top Gun: Maverick star sat down with JHud on April 14 and opened up about life as a proud #GirlDad.

From navigating toddler tantrums to juggling parenting while shooting his latest project, Freaky Tales, Jay kept it real and relatable.

And then things got physical — literally.

Jay revealed the intense martial arts training he endured for Freaky Tales, and let’s just say he didn’t come to play.

He even showed Jennifer a few of his new moves right there on stage, and the moment was pure TV gold.
