If there’s one thing better than Jamie Foxx doing impressions, it’s Jamie Foxx doing impressions of Denzel Washington… while Denzel Washington is sitting right next to him.
In an interview that has gone viral faster than you can say “King Kong ain’t got nothin’ on me,” Jamie and Denzel sat down to chat — and let’s just say, the Internet is loving it.
The whole thing felt less like a formal interview and more like two legends goofing off in the green room — and it was gold. Jamie, being the certified impression king he is, couldn’t resist breaking into his spot-on Denzel impersonation right in front of the man himself.
“Yo, you ever notice how Denzel talks with that little head tilt?” Foxx said, before launching into an uncannily accurate impression that had both Denzel and the entire room cracking up.
Denzel, always the cool cat, just leaned back and watched Jamie with that classic smile that says: “This man is a fool, but I love him.”
And then it got even funnier.
At one point, Jamie reenacted a fake scene where he’s trying to get Denzel’s approval for a movie role — full of dramatic pauses, exaggerated hand gestures, and that iconic Denzel “mhmm” noise.
Denzel couldn’t help himself: “Man, if I sounded like that, I’d be unemployed!”
Fans online were quick to lose it:
“Jamie’s Denzel impression is better than Denzel himself. I said what I said.”
“This is the crossover comedy we didn’t know we needed. Someone cast them in a buddy cop movie now.”
“I want a full 90-minute movie of Jamie Foxx doing impressions and Denzel just reacting.”
Honestly, same.
The two clearly have mad respect for each other, but it’s the playful banter and unfiltered joy that made the interview such a hit. In a world full of stiff interviews and recycled soundbites, Jamie and Denzel reminded everyone that laughter is still the best script.
Hollywood, take notes. Jamie Foxx and Denzel Washington aren’t just icons — they’re the comedy duo we never knew we needed. Netflix, you up?
