Fans Filled The Comment Section Praising Jamie Foxx For Keeping His Cool Alongside Brie Larson
The interview took place on Jimmy Kimmel Live over four years ago. When Jamie Foxx comes out, he can't help but to compliment Brie Larson. He says, "You look amazing. Man, I'm telling you the monitor almost fell off in the back when you came out, you look beautiful." He adds, "Give it up for her."
"You were so used to seeing me in my wig for so long," Larson interjects.
At that point, Foxx grabs some water, perhaps composing himself. Like a veteran host, Larson then decides to switch subjects, wanting to put the attention on her guest instead. She says, "We are here to talk about you."
The interview proceeds with Foxx telling some great stories. However, fans couldn't help but notice certain details from the interview. Some fans suggested that Foxx was talking to the audience more than Larson, given her stunning look.
Fans were very creative in the comments section and had a lot to say.
The most liked comments read, "In those moments Jamie's whole life and career flashed before his eyes. He remembered his wife, kids , parents as he thought, "To see or not to see is the real question."
"Jamie Foxx should win an Emmy just for this interview."
"The single most impressive late night guest appearance of all time. The most disciplined 15 minutes in human history."
Fans had fun with the interview, and it seems like Brie Larson had some fun of her own building up to her hosting duties on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Brie Larson Did Her Best To Impersonate Jimmy Kimmel Ahead Of Her Hosting Duties
During the buildup to her hosting duties, Brie Larson nailed the ultimate JImmy Kimmel impression.
Larson dressed up in a suit like Kimmel, and was even copying his hand gestures. "Oh, I just—I'm researching. I take my roles very seriously," she tells Kimmel. "Like for Captain Marvel, I actually had myself blasted with massive amounts of cosmic radiation from a magic rock."
Larson adds, "So, I just want to understand the physicality of what it means to be a talk-show host. So, I want to stand like you, move like you."
Larson ended up exiting the stage after host Jimmy Kimmel called the actress a distraction.
"I know it's fun but, I'm sorry but this is making it a little hard for me to do this," the host said.
Ultimately, it was all in good fun, and Larson ended up crushing her hosting duties with a great monologue to start the show on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Fans are hoping to see Larson back in the hosting chair at some point down the road.
Brie Larson Was Back In The Headlines For Her Genuine Exchange Alongside Jennifer Lopez
Looking back at the Golden Globes, Brie Larson took part in one of the most memorable moments on the award show. It took place behind the scenes alongside ET. Larson basically walked out of her interview in tears and couldn't continue on after her idol showed up.
Larson told Lopez, “Oh, my god. Oh, my. I’m gonna cry,” Larson said. “I actually can’t. She’s the reason I wanted to be an actor. I can’t. No, I’m gonna cry! I’m such a huge fan,” Larson told her. “I saw Selena and it made me want to be an actor, and you’ve always meant so much to me.”
She continues, “This has been a dream of mine, so thank you so much. Your work ethic is so important, thank you. … I’ve been wanting to say that to you for a long time.”
Once again, fans had nothing but praise for Brie Larson and how real she was with her idol during the memorable moment. Lopez also has fond memories of the exchange.
"I remember being a little girl and watching West Side Story and seeing Rita Moreno and knowing what that meant for me,. When I was looking at Brie and I saw her and I was just staring in her eyes because she was so locked in with me and just [was] like, 'I have wanted to tell you this for so long.'"
She continues, "I saw myself, and I saw the little girl, and to think that I did that for somebody was really, really overwhelming," she told Lowe. "I could have really taken a moment there, but it was very lovely to have an experience like that."
A great exchange between the two and one fans have watched back on a loop ever since.
