Julia Fox is well on her way to becoming a cultural icon, from entering the English vernacular ("Uncah Jams" may ring a bell), to her whirlwind romance with Kanye West ("I wasn't in love with the man, what do you guys think I am, 12?") to her head-turning ensembles (remember when she went shopping in her underwear? Truly what legends are made of).
And now, Fox, 32, is cementing her status as a bonafide online creator with her popular TikTok platform, where her candid clips - in which she discusses her opinions on the likes of ageing and relationships, and reveals insights into her former job as a dominatrix - have garnered her over 1.2 million followers.
And on Sunday (local time), the Uncut Gems star revealed another string to her bow, sharing an actually fairly standard recipe for banana bread with her viewers. Is she, in fact, the next Julia Child?
"Never throw away ur your yucky bananas [sic]!" the 32-year-old captioned the clip, which has since been viewed almost 300,000 times.
In the video, Fox shares how she makes her banana bread from scratch - and yes, she "actually did it" herself - and the recipe is, somewhat surprisingly, pretty straightforward. The only catch?
"I'm kind of weird and I like to take the, like, guts out - the little white thing, the little slimy thing," she says, attacking the eggs with a spoon to remove the chalaza.
To make Fox's banana bread, first cream eight tablespoons of butter and ¾ cup of organic pure cane sugar in a bowl.
"Then put the bananas in and mix it all together," she says - it appears for Fox's recipe, she added two or three over-ripe bananas.
Next, add two eggs - chalaza optional - and mix well to combine. In a separate bowl, she then mixes together half a cup of flour, a teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of salt.
Returning to the wet ingredients, Fox proceeds to add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract and half a teaspoon of almond extract before pouring the mixture into the dry ingredients and combining the two.
"And obviously chocolate chips," she says, decanting a generous amount of the semi-sweet variety into the bowl.
She then pours the mixture into a baking tray and pops it in the oven for an hour - the temperature isn't specified, but typically banana bread bakes at around 180C.
"Here she is," Fox exclaims, proudly showing off her finished loaf fresh out the oven.
"She's so soft and moist that she kind of broke when I was taking her out of the pan."
For the finishing touch, she adds a dollop of organic hazelnut spread on top before devouring a slice on camera.
And Fox's fans have applauded the actor for her foray into the #FoodTok realm, with many thanking her for sharing the simple recipe.
"Cooking with Julia needs to be a new weekly segment," one wrote, with a second adding: "I can't believe Julia Fox invented baking."
"Almond extract is the key to EVERYTHING," a third agreed, with a fourth writing: "I would die for a @juliafox reality show."
"Julia Fox - a mother, billionaire and… a chef," another quipped.
One questioned why Fox hadn't added spices, such as nutmeg and cinnamon, to her recipe, to which she responded: "I'm Italian, I put almond extract in everything, it's very strong."
The Italian-American model and actor first rose to prominence following her debut performance in Uncut Gems in 2019. Aside from the comedy-thriller, she has starred in three other projects, including 2021's No Sudden Move.
However, Fox's 'big break' arguably came in January 2022 when it was confirmed she was dating controversial rapper Kanye West, thrusting the then little-known actor into the spotlight. The whirlwind relationship was short-lived however, with the two splitting a mere six weeks later. A few days after, Fox claimed she dated West purely to "give people something to talk about" amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
So what else is on Fox's agenda? Apparently the mum-of-one has a book in the works, announcing at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party that she "doesn't want to give too much of it away", but it's "so far a masterpiece".
"It was like a memoir at first, but now it's just like, my first book."
