Cameron Diaz was blown away as Jamie Foxx gave a flawless impression of Donald Trump — and then Will Smith and Jay-Z, in the span of a few minutes.
Diaz and Foxx, who costar in the Netflix action-comedy Back in Action out Friday, appeared on the Complex YouTube series “GOAT Talk,” where Diaz, 52, challenged the Ray actor, 57, to give his best impersonations.
Without a moment's pause, Foxx remembered an occasion when he bumped into Jay-Z at a gathering and felt compelled to demonstrate his finest impression of the Grammy-winning artist.
“I was thinking, ‘Great party,’” Foxx shared with Diaz, mimicking Jay-Z’s subtle tone and causing Diaz to burst into 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's controversial 2017 quote about 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 love Charlie’s Angels,” he said in Trump’s distinct tone, before concluding with a snippet of his Will Smith voice.
Diaz was taken aback by the precision of the impression, stating in the video that it was “the most impressive Trump” impression she had ever witnessed. “I can tell when you impersonate someone because your eyes transform. It’s like I can actually see the person reflected in your gaze. It’s incredible,” she remarked. “I don’t have any impressions I can perform. I’m not an impersonator at all.”
“When you’re doing the impersonation, you’ve got to feel the person,” responded the Just Mercy actor.
This isn’t the first time Foxx has dazzled with his uncanny ability to impersonate. Back in 2015, during an appearance on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon challenged 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.

First, he channeled Mick Jagger, giving a lively rendition of The Lion King’s “Hakuna Matata,” before launching into a John Legend version of the Toys”R”Us jingle. He concluded the appearance by bringing down the house with a stellar performance of “On Top of Spaghetti” in the voice of his Dreamgirls costar Jennifer Hudson.

Back in Action marks the third time Foxx and Diaz are sharing the screen, after previously appearing together in 1999's Any Given Sunday and 2014's Annie. It also marks the There's Something About Mary star’s return to film after she took some time off from acting in 2014 to focus on her family.
In 2022, a source close to Diaz told PEOPLE that the actress felt “a bit rusty and nervous,” though “mostly excited,” about her comeback — adding that her husband, Benji Madden, had “encouraged her to unretire.”
"The insider revealed, 'She is prepared to take on this film project.'"
Back in Action will be available to stream on Netflix on Jan. 17.
