Comedian Dax Shepard won’t even spare himself from jokes as he goes on to address his "once attractive feet," which now have since lost the title and earned a new one, calling them "hideous."

He shared that due to how they look now they need to be covered most of the time, even at the pool.

When questioned about his "beautiful feet" by Jimmy Kimmel, on the May 1 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Armchair Expert podcast host revealed that the feet that he used to proudly brag about, were long gone. 

"I used to brag about my feet. I thought they were really attractive. I had feet-offs on this show," he revealed as he reminisced the time when he and the 57-year-old host compared their feet.

"I won the battle, not the war. You won the war," the 50-year-old actor and comedian said after Jimmy confirmed the competitive incident from Dax’s previous appearance on the show, where the host had argued that his feet were better looking than the actor's.

 "I had a toenail fall off. I had a surgery that made a miniature toe," the Parenthood alum opened up.

"And the newest development is the toe next to the big toe, to compensate, it has just curled completely over to mind the gap that the baby toe has now," he mentioned.

Looking back at a memory with his wife Kristen Bell, he shared that while swimming he had looked down at his feet and playfully said, "I have a comb over now."

Dax told the host that now he has to wear socks even at the pool.

When the host gave his sympathy to him, knowing how big of a deal having nice feet was to him, the Zathura actor humorously said, "It's hubris. It's, 'I'm flying too close to the sun.' It's all those things where I was too vain." 

"I deserve it and they're hideous," he jokingly added.
