Actor Jamie Foxx, 58, is proving he can laugh at himself—even when AI is doing the makeover.
On Wednesday, June 24, the Academy Award-winning sent Instagram into a frenzy after sharing a carousel of fan-made AI-generated images that reimagined him as a “YN.” The post quickly caught fire, collecting more than 600,000 likes and nearly 19,000 comments as fans weighed in on the surprisingly convincing digital transformation.
Rather than pushing back against the AI creations, Foxx embraced the joke.
“They done turned me to a YN 😂,” he captioned the post.
The images depict the 58-year-old entertainer in designer-inspired fits, layered jewelry and poses commonly seen across today’s rap culture, creating a youthful version of Foxx that many fans found both hilarious and believable.
The comments quickly filled with jokes about how realistic the AI edits looked. Instagram user @Chi_OnTV wrote, “POV: Clones just be clones @iamjamiefoxx,” poking fun at the growing flood of AI-generated celebrity images online.
