Quentin Tarantino spent the last weekend of his 50s at the London Palladium with a two-night event for his ongoing book tour. The Cinema Speculation author didnt leave quietly, however, and was ambushed with cake by Jamie Foxx who sang him Happy Birthday, augmented by just a bit of NSFW language.

We cant let you leave yet, because at midnight its your birthday, said director Edgar Wright, who hosted the event and shared footage of the surprise on Instagram . Its not midnight in London, but it is midnight in Tokyo. It is midnight in Finland. It is midnight in Greece.

And since this is the London Palladium and the home of all-around entertainers, who better to sing Happy Birthday than all-around entertainer Wright continued, as Foxx walked on stage with a birthday cake in tow.

Tarantino warmly embraced Foxx, who starred in his most financially successful film , Django Unchained , in 2012. Before leading the audience of 2,000 people in a singalong of Happy Birthday (with Foxx tossing in a motherfucker for good measure), the Ray and Spider-Man: No Way Home star took a moment to thank the Pulp Fiction director.

Thank you for letting me be your Django, man, said Foxx.

The three men on stage had known each other for years, according to Entertainment Weekly . Tarantino, a fan of high- and lowbrow cinema alike, befriended Wright after watching his 2004 horror-comedy Shaun of the Dead . Foxx, meanwhile, starred in Wrights 2017 blockbuster Baby Driver .
