Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the soulful rhythms of his Grammy-winning music to the magnetic performances that earned him an Academy Award, Jamie Foxx is a truly talented virtuoso of versatility. In 2001, <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/">Will Smith</a> and the <em>Django Unchained</em> actor joined forces as <strong>the headlining cast in the blockbuster biopic, <em>Ali</em>.</strong> Not only did the movie earn Smith an Academy Award nomination, but also brought him close to the <em>Day Shift</em> actor. Ever since the two maestros of cinema have formed a close bond. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Giving a glimpse of their bond, Smith shared a clip today to mark Foxx’s special day. </span></p>
<h2><strong>Smith shares a clip of his Ali co-star cracking him up</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Foxx reins in his 56th year, Will Smith took the occasion to share an old clip of them on his social media alongside a heartfelt wish. In the Instagram video, <strong>the <em>Ray</em> actor was relaying some rib-tickling anecdotes of time spent with Smith</strong>. He jokingly confessed to feeling like Smith’s assistant in the first half and a story from their African adventures in the second. </span></p>
