Nguye: Foxx or Faux? South African Man’s Startling Similarity to Jamie Foxx Sparks Rumors of Celebrity Cloning
South Africans on Twitter are going crazy over a photo of an unidentified South African guy who bears an astonishing resemblance to Jamie Foxx.
The person in the picture, which has sparked a buzz among South Africans, looks like a slimmed-down version of the incredibly versatile American entertainer.
American Actor Makes Appearance After Months Away
Back in April, Jamie Foxx, an Oscar winner, faced a health crisis while filming in Atlanta. Despite several months having passed, his fans remain clueless about what happened to him. Foxx has deliberately kept a low profile, making very few public appearances.
Just last week, the Oscar-winning actor made his first public appearance since being hospitalized in April. A video captured by TMZ showed Foxx waving to fans while cruising down the Chicago River on a yacht, blasting his 2008 hit, “Blame It.” Shortly after, a tweet promoting his own whiskey brand appeared on his Twitter account—his first tweet since mid-March. The message on July 9 read, “Boat life 🦊. Celebrating summer with @brownsugarbbn. Stay blessed!”
Foxx’s wave and subsequent tweet created a media frenzy, making headlines internationally. Another video surfaced showing the comedian at a Topgolf driving range in Naperville, Illinois. In the clip, Foxx seemed healthy, swinging a golf club with significant force.
Jamie Foxx’s South African Doppelganger Shakes Internet
After a Twitter user shared an image of Jamie Foxx’s South African doppelgänger with the caption ‘Nguye’ (meaning “It’s him”), people flooded the comments section, marvelling at the uncanny resemblance. Some jokingly noted how the undisclosed illness had made ‘Jamie Foxx’ slimmer. Others suggested that this person should seize the opportunity to go to Hollywood and capitalize on their striking similarity to Jamie Foxx.
Here are a few of the comments:
