Diaz and Foxx, who costar in the Netflix action-comedyBack in Actionout Friday, appeared on theComplex YouTube series “GOAT Talk,”where Diaz, 52, challenged theRayactor, 57, to give his best impersonations.

Without hesitation, Foxx recalled a recent moment when he ran into Jay-Z at a party and couldn’t stop himself from showing the Grammy winner his best impression of him.

“I was going, ‘Nice party,’ ” Foxx told Diaz, evoking Jay-Z’s restrained register and sending Diaz into fits of laughter.

But Foxx didn’t stop there. Moments later, he showed off a spot-on Trump impression, going, “There’s a lot of great people on both sides” (in reference to the President-elect’scontroversial 2017 quoteabout a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va.).

Foxx continued with the impression of Trump: “I love Cameron. I love Cameron — she’s great. I love all of her movies. I loveCharlie’s Angels,” he said in Trump’s distinct tone, before concluding with a snippet of his Will Smith voice.

“When you’re doing the impersonation, you’ve got to feel the person,” responded theJust Mercyactor.

This isn’t the first time Foxx has dazzled with his uncanny ability to impersonate. Back in 2015, during an appearance onThe Tonight Show,Jimmy Fallonchallenged the Oscar winner to a“Wheel of Musical Impressions”— where he had to perform an unusual song choice in the voice of a famous singer on the spot.
