Chelsea Clinton is still reeling over how Jay-Z reacted to Beyonce's post-baby body in their brand new Netflix documentary titled 'Homecoming'.

Speaking with The Cut for a profile published on October 29, the Clinton heiress shared her thoughts after watching the film with her husband Marc Mezvinsky.

“I said, ‘Marc, if that’s ever me, you better have more enthusiasm,’” Chelsea told the outlet.

“It wasn’t the ‘I’m so proud of you. That’s amazing’, that I arguably think any woman deserves, particularly someone who has clearly worked herself body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit to get to that place.”

According to Clinton, her husband of nearly 10 years responded by simply saying, "Duly noted."

“And I was like, ‘I bet every woman watching this has this sense of, She deserves more enthusiasm,’” she continued. “Marc was like, ‘I got it. Can we go back to watching it, please? We’ve talked about it three times in the last 90 seconds.’”

'Homecoming' was released on Netflix in April this year. The film documents Beyoncé’s preparation for her 2018 Coachella performance.

The 'Drunk in Love' songstress is seen in the film FaceTiming with her rapper husband, 49, to flaunt how she was able to fit into her old costume for the couple’s On the Run II tour, just months after giving birth to twins in June 2017.

“This is a serious accomplishment because I did not think I’d be able to get back into my old costume. I’m actually in it and I can still move. I still have a ways to go, but this makes me feel good, ‘cause I’ve been sacrificing and working hard,” the 38-year-old diva said in the movie before getting on FaceTime with Jay-Z. “Huge, huge accomplishment. … I do want to go and show Jay.”

However, the 'Ni**as in Paris' hitmaker had a lackluster response to her accomplishment, after he simply smiled and said, “All right.”

Beyonce and Jay-Z, who married in 2008, share daughter 7-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and 2-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.

Meanwhile, Clinton and Mezvinsky are parents to daughter Charlotte, 5, and sons Aidan, 3, and Jasper, 3 months.
