Gabrielle Union blissfully ignored troubled relationship rumors when she appeared on Conan on Tuesday night and instead dished about her new “porn diet” and how she makes trash-talking Seattle Seahawks Richard Sherman look like a “zen Buddhist.”
Union sat down with Conan O’Brien and revealed that her toned physique is inspired by all the porn stars who work out at her gym.
“I’m on the porn diet,” she told the late night talk show host. “I’m blessed to work out at a gym that has a lot of adult-entertainment actresses, a lot of porn gals – salt of the earth! Really sweet girls.”
Needless to say the term “porn diet” sparked a few naughty jokes by Conan, but Union explained that the so-called diet is more about copying her gym mates drinks at the juice bar.
“What’s crazy is that I’ll follow them to – like, the gyms have the juice bar – and I watch and see what they’re ordering,” she said before throwing in a naughty joke of her own. “I’m like ‘Ah, vegan’… Let’s sit with it… They don’t eat meat. There you go… interesting.”
She also revealed that the porn diet isn’t complete without a porn workout to go along with it.
In addition to spying on the girls’ orders at the juice bar, she admitted that she also tries to get some workout tips on getting a great butt.
“I’ve seen your work, I love it, let me get some tips – not on that, but ‘cause your butt looks great,” she said. “But I also compete with them and they don’t realize it. We’re basically having the ultimate Olympics. They’re just not aware that we’re in competition with each other.”
Union also revealed that although her petite frame is inspired by adult film stars, her courtside trash-talking is inspired by the rough men of the NFL.
Even before she began dating Miami Heat basketball star Dwyane Wade, Union was a big fan of the Miami Heat so when she gets wrapped up in a good game no one is safe.
“I make Richard Sherman seem like a zen Buddhist,” she told Conan, referencing Sherman’s post-game interview where he called out the San Francisco 49ers’ Michael Crabtree. “I’m like dance mom.”
In addition to heckling other players, Union said she loves getting the chance to bother the officials.
She said one of her personal favorites is, “You’ll get your Viagra if you just make a call!”
So there you have it – the body of an adult film star and the attitude of a hyped-up NFL cornerback on his way to the Super Bowl.
