Move over, SNL. Cam Newton has just dropped the mic on impersonations with his latest viral masterpiece, hilariously mimicking WNBA star Angel Reese’s iconic Instagram live video. Fans are howling in laughter, and some are even calling for an Oscar nod—if only it were a movie.
Cam Newton’s Comedic Masterpiece
Former Carolina Panthers quarterback and current podcast king, Cam Newton, nailed Reese’s heartfelt yet side-splitting Instagram live performance on his podcast “Fourth and 1.” Newton didn’t miss a beat, from the dramatic hair flicks to the exaggerated gum chewing and finger-pointing. It was a performance so spot-on, even Reese would have to applaud.
The Original Video: A Tough Act to Follow
For those living under a rock, Angel Reese went viral earlier this month with a video that had fans rolling on the floor. Her deadpan delivery and perfectly timed bluntness made her message about “keeping it real” resonate across the social media universe. “The illusion that you all think I’m going to blow any of you away? Get real,” she quipped, leaving viewers in stitches.
Cam’s Version: An Instant Classic
Not only did Cam imitate Reese’s mannerisms to a T, but he also managed to crank up the humor with his own flair. Some fans even think Newton improved on the original, especially with his enhanced sound effects. Watching a 6’5″ NFL veteran channeling his inner WNBA star was pure comedic gold. Who knew Cam Newton had such a knack for parody?
Fans React: Social Media Erupts
Social media exploded with laughter and praise. Comments ranged from “Cam, you just won the internet!” to “I didn’t think the original could be topped, but you did it!” It seems the crossover appeal of a football legend impersonating a basketball star has struck a hilarious chord with fans.
