Jamie Foxx showed why heā€™s a master of impressions by mimicking former President Donald Trump to a T this week.

The actor recently linked up in a podcast with rapper Snoop Dogg to talk about their upcoming movie Day Shift with Rap Radarā€™s Elliott Wilson and Brian ā€œB. Dotā€ Miller.

Snoop told the two podcast hosts about reconnecting with Michael ā€œHarry-Oā€ Harris, a businessman who funded Death Row Records, after Trump pardoned him in 2021.

Harris was released from prison after serving over 30 years for drug trafficking and attempted murder.

Snoopā€™s mention of the pardon immediately caused his movie co-star to blurt out a voice nearly identical to Trump.

ā€œThereā€™s a lot of great people on both sides,ā€ Foxx spewed.

ā€œLots of great people on both sides. Harry-O, heā€™s a great person, he couldnā€™t vote for me at the time now he can vote for me once he gets out.ā€

The actor is no stranger to impressions.

His performance as Ray Charles in the film Ray helped him take home Best Actor at the Oscars and Best Actor in a Motion Picture ā€“ Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globe Awards in 2005.

Behind the scenes footage from Universal Pictures shows Foxx got Charlesā€™ ā€œblessingā€ to play the late singer in a movie about his life.

The movie was enough to win over rapper Kanye West whose song Gold Digger used a sample from Charlesā€™ I Got A Woman and an interpolation of the song by Foxx in case the sample didnā€™t clear, MTV reported.

You can see how Foxx got ready for his role in Ray below in videos shared by Pigeons & Planes, part of Complex Networks which is owned by the same parent company as HuffPost.
