Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx recently made an appearance on the popular talk show, The Graham Norton Show. The duo, known for their charismatic personalities and impressive acting chops, captivated the audience with their entertaining stories and witty banter.
During the interview, Diaz shared a humorous anecdote about working with children on set. She revealed that young kids often run a clever scam, demanding money from adults every time they swear in front of them. Diaz explained that these savvy kids leave the set with piles of cash, making it clear that she doesn’t play along with their game.
Foxx jumped in with a funny story about his daughter’s confusion when she visited the set of one of his movies. Being used to watching her father in action-packed films, she couldn’t quite grasp the concept of Annie, a family-friendly musical. Foxx jokingly suggested that Annie should have been about the young girl seeking revenge instead of searching for her parents.
The conversation then shifted to Foxx’s voice work as the character Electro in a superhero film. He revealed that he drew inspiration from Clint Eastwood’s cool and menacing tone, as well as Alec Baldwin’s exceptional whispering skills. Foxx also mentioned a unique app used during the film production to detune his voice and give it a menacing quality.
The discussion took an unexpected turn when Norton brought up the renowned filmmaker, Sir David Attenborough. Diaz expressed her excitement about Sir David’s presence, referring to him as the “meat” in a sandwich with her and Foxx being the slices of bread. Foxx joined in the fun, claiming to be a “grit” in the sandwich.
The conversation continued with Diaz sharing her experience filming a wildlife series and her love for snakes. She revealed that her first pet was a Florida king snake named Norton, paying homage to Jackie Gleason’s character from The Honeymooners. Diaz also discussed a show she did for MTV called Tripping, where she had the opportunity to visit Jane Goodall’s camp and observe chimpanzees’ morning rituals.
Foxx opened up about his unique living situation, sharing that his adoptive mother now lives in the same house as his father, even though they have been divorced for 25 years. He humorously recounted the challenges of having his mother visit for Christmas and ending up staying for 12 years. Foxx described the amusing scenario of his father dating while his mother occasionally visits his side of the house to check who he’s with.
The conversation eventually turned to wax figures, with Diaz revealing her disappointment in her waxwork’s lack of resemblance to her. Foxx shared that he dislikes waxworks altogether and even chases down those who put up his figure, insisting on having them melted.
Wrapping up the interview, Foxx humorously discussed his dating life, admitting that he still frequents clubs and attracts younger women. He amusingly recalled encounters with girls who were surprised by his age and expressed concern as though it was a terminal illness.
With their charming personalities and lighthearted stories, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx left the audience in stitches throughout their appearance on The Graham Norton Show. This dynamic duo knows how to entertain and keep everyone engaged with their hilarious anecdotes and playful banter.
