Jamie Foxx's All-Star Impressions, from Oprah and Al Pacino to Quentin Tarantino and more.

Look, here's my problem, yeah, you go off script like you're interviewing yourself, yeah, and you know, I think you did the best comedians in cars getting coffee. Thanks, let Jerry know, put me in charge of the thing on Netflix. I got Eddie there, let 'em know I can't, I was ready, y'all ready, oh yeah, I love Eddie. I'm just kidding before we go back to his old movies. I just want to ask if you watch any of your old movies at all like others on TV or anything. I've seen Jarhead for a specific reason for a speech sometimes and I put it to you like that, you know they get you.

I thought it was me and I watched Baby Driver because I look at certain things that I want to recreate and their business, the moment you catch the feelings is the moment you take a bullet. I think the character and the driver of Baby Batts were very interesting, maybe you disappeared into a world consisting of 3 things: money, sex, drugs and action. I like that DNA, that good, I love the jacket he's wearing now, tell me you took it home, yeah I think someone got that, what a manager, oh the whole character, man where does Bayman know your fits sides?

Oh, Sam, let's go all the way. Going back to any given Sunday, Sanderson on Fox will cut off his routes or you have to be there, you'll turn him in. I can't believe that was one of your first movies and you're face to face with Al Pacino, what damn turnovers. and half and he is cursing you by giving him the whole head, yes, of course, with your nails we fight for that inch. I just think about how many people hear that speech before a big event, it's true and I was there talking to the father with the scar. because when I met him for the first time and that was creepy because I met him in a hotel and it was dimly lit oh wow he's got your gangster light on you know and he was really nervous and he says you like cranberry juice.

I told him. Miss Scarface can drink cranberry juice, you should drink like gasoline, she needs some C's, okay, don't judge him, okay, let's skip to Ray too because one Oscar later is no big deal, but let's not forget that you have two nominations in that one same. year yeah, that must have felt pretty good, it felt great, I was almost like a baby in essence, I didn't really understand what was going on because my friends and I were like going crazy like at one point we were having it too. so much fun and I got a call from my open boyfriend Jamie Foxx Jamie, you're ruining it.

Jamie Bogdan hurt, so he took me to Quincy Jones' house, just like my house. Well, what's your name? Hey Robinson, oh I see Jones noise, he was like. Hey, run, you're doing a good job with that Ray Charles man, people are really excited about it, but listen, you gotta straighten up and fly right, we don't want you to screw this up and then they said the person you're dating this evening. It's right there and I'm Sidney Poitier and I'm walking up to Sidney's ledges. I saw you once when you were at the party, remember that? Then what should I do?

He says I'll give you one thing I'll give you responsibility so he says Be responsible for the art that you put out and you know I've tried to keep him on some of the projects to respond to so Wesley let's go right now the Oscar is now at my house. I usually don't keep it in the house because the Oscar also has a power and you don't want it, yeah, because lurking on you, I always make a joke, it's like I make you speak with an English accent so well, you know, when I

star

ted, I was there, I was in the jungles of Africa when I was, take this, you could spend the night, it would be 700 dollars a head.

I'm going to try to piss you off with something like this, but I can't do this, I can't take you to where you're killing people, doctor, it's not my job tonight, let's just jump into the warranty, I'll see him maybe every three years or so. , it's so good here, man, yeah, I mean, you must be so proud of it, listen, that movie let me do it. to grow as an actor, the change of seeing your character go from being a docile and insecure guy to a guy who is in power, actors and actresses will give their left arm to have that experience, what did you say?

I said, I think. You should tell Gabbar that I'm going to put his gun away before he takes it to find his ass to death. Lee, let me tell you something when I take off my glasses because I'm trying to be intimidating or when you connect with someone. I'm thinking about you in front of me, happy for them. I'm going, oh yeah, give it to him. I hand the steak to the camera. Sorry, I'm getting notes. Erica in action, there you go, yeah, you're not playing there. You tilt it all, a lover, look, I'm sorry, gringos, do you know what happened to Beyoncé?

You like who the adult in the dream is. You were supposed to continue for a second. I mean, how cool it was to be there, that's all. Eddie Murphy Beyonce I mean, what a set Beyonce Jennifer Hudson I mean, being so close to her was like that, that commercial where the guy sitting in the chair just blew her clothes off at me, yeah, like she killed that Jewish voice. I was a bad person, yes. there's no personality and you know black people when they see the movie they really like it oh I can't stand you you know they really thought I was that guy oh I can't stand you how you made Jennifer Hudson like that you know it's touching.

It's acting, yes, we are not what our culture really believes. Can you ever forgive Quentin Tarantino for wearing that blue suit? In fact, I asked him. No, yes, what you have to understand is slavery. The clothes were all crazy, no colors, so me. He said from Africa that everything is Red, Blue and Green colors that everything is, I said, so he has to make a declaration that he is free and you see any brother, when we get a car, we have to put the wheels on that thing, no I mean a stereotype, but that's what I do or you have to put doom on it, you know what doom is up against, now it's a car, so I said he needs to have that piece of clothing that he thinks is so cool because he got it. a show, man, right?

I never want to play with the idea of ​​slavery, but if you think about it like I do, I'm free, first of all, how attractive is what you do for all of you. You heard famous, but you? I love the perception of the black woman who says you mean you wanted to wear that so you really mean that's forever. Every black we will tell you, please, that blue is not the blue for you. You know what you had to leave. Do you think all the fancy words will take you somewhere in Alabama? Okay, let's jump to mercy.

There was a part in this movie that I almost liked. I almost jumped out of my seat. It's when you're talking to you, a Michael B Jordan character. the first time and you slam your hand on the table and it's like wow, yeah, there was so much power in that character, how much research did you end up doing? Well, we're talking to Brad Stevenson about Walter McMillian, who is wrongly accused of a crime. He said that he killed a white girl in a city, and he never met or met the girl. Next thing you know, he's on death row without a Harvey trial, you don't know what you're guilty of from the moment you were born, etc.

I asked Brian what it was like and I told him that I still had hope that you wouldn't give up and that the worst thing you can give a person sentenced to death is hope, no, sir, they handed him over, yes, and when Brian came in, who was? played wonderfully by Michael B Jordan, Brian's naivety infuriated him like, why would they send you to God like Miller, not us, sir. McMillan, please, there is an incredibly surprising moment with the metal cuts in the bars, have you been watching the audience reaction to this film? People see this movie and I stay in theaters and I love it.

It's like they're watching a football game. they're watching a succulent they're watching something where we want this person to win people are applauding they're applauding standing ovations at the end of the movie and that's when you know you did well you know you're going to hear everything the critics and people go I'm going to say this and I'm going to talk about awards and this and what I'm saying now, hey, at the end of the day, it's the people you get past all that and then you see people with popcorn

star

ing, I tell my God Thomas and man, it's the people that always matter, yeah, when people see the movie, when you say those words and you, Michael B Jordan, and that's the other thing too, the guy looks good, yeah, Nazan, you know ,

more

come like this to save you.

He looks good at the bar, I'm glad you had the courage to say it, yeah, the guy looks good, there aren't many people, yeah, it's disgusting. I'll end with this, who is the most memorable director or producer? Have you ever been told throughout your career where you are going? I won't forget that I think it was Quentin Tarantino because we were trying to make Django and he says you have to be the slave before you can be the hero and I was reading my lines. really cool and he takes me to the room and leaves, he says you come in here with your bags Louie, your Range Rover, stop, you know, in Lisa's room, you know what Dora sounds like when they opened it, you know you walk around there.

So I took it very seriously because I think Quentin Tarantino was the best to break through because he takes regular actors and turns them into stars, and turns stars into legends, there we have it, that's that English voice again, Jamie, thank you. it has been an absolute pleasure thanks for watching if you enjoyed this video don't forget to subscribe and click the bell icon to stay updated you can listen to my radio on movies and tv podcasts screen time on bbc sounds and you can find these full interviews on BBC iPlayer looking for movies without a plan.
