Jamie Foxx is convinced he's found the modern version of iconic comedy characters Laverne & Shirley - insisting Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner are the next great funny duo.
Foxx co-stars with the pretty pair in new movie Valentine's Day, and admits their off-screen chemistry reminded him of Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams' banter in the classic U.S. TV show.
And the funnyman is so convinced Biel and Garner are destined to make a comedy together, he made sure director Garry Marshall took notes for a potential project.
Foxx says, "During the movie, they were doing stuff off-screen that reminded me of Laverne & Shirley.
"I think they're the new Laverne & Shirley. They had some energy, and I mentioned that to Garry Marshall."
Foxx, Biel and Garner are just three stars of the ensembe piece Valentine's Day, which is released next week in the UK.
They are joined by Julia Roberts, Aston Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper and Taylor Lautner.
The movie follows intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles break-up and make-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine's Day.
