He further mentioned, “Honestly, you deserve two Oscars for this one. When I sat down to watch the movie, I already knew it was going to be special the moment I saw a pair of Jordans on screen. Then the first line, ‘Are you guys twins?’ and you hit us with, ‘No… we cousins’, man, I was locked in from there”.
As per ‘People’, in the film, directed by Ryan Coogler, Jordan played twins Smoke and Stack. A second post by Foxx was a clip of Jordan, who became the sixth Black man to win the Oscar for Best Actor in the ceremony’s 98-year history, onstage thanking those who came before him.

"And to be amongst those giants, amongst those great greats, amongst my ancestors, amongst my guys. Thank you, everybody in this room and everybody at home for supporting me over my career.
