If there was anything wrong with a photo that Ellen DeGeneres posted earlier in the year during the 2016 Summer Olympics, Usain Bolt didn't see it.
In fact, Bolt was a guest on The Ellen Show where he even opened up about his medals and marriage intentions.
Fans will remember Ellen DeGeneres receiving a ton of backlash from fans who called a photo she posted to social media, racist.
Well, anyone who knows the host knows that she has been pretty outspoken about equality in all communities. So, it wasn't a surprise when Usain Bolt showed up as a guest on a recent episode of The Ellen Show.
Bolt sat down with DeGeneres who asked him about the difference between the Olympic games from this summer and others in the past. Bolt said this one was much bigger and he had a lot more fans cheering him on.
DeGeneres pointed out that everyone wanted a selfie with Bolt and he simply stated that he had to do it.
Bolt is so tall that he always has to take the actual photo. The host ran down all of the races that Bolt has won and the fact that no one else has done it.
Bolt said it is hard to be consistent because of injuries but this was his main goal when he started track and field. DeGeneres wants to know if Bolt worries about the day when he is not as fast as he is now.
Then it came time for DeGeneres to try to force marriage on to Bolt. While his mother wants him to get married, Bolt says he still needs some time.
For Cat Week, it was revealed that Bolt is sponsoring a pretty big cat, a cheetah in fact. It works out since Bolt is the fastest man alive and the cheetah is one of the fastest animals alive.
Funny enough, Bolt and DeGeneres poked fun at the photo as he asked her if she needed to get anywhere. You can watch Bolt's interview from The Ellen Show in the video below.
