How comedian Matt Friend went from Austin Powers impersonations as a kid to sharing his impressive imitations of Hollywood of stars


Armed with cheeky anecdotes and spot-on impressions, comedian Matt Friend seems to be everywhere.

From red carpets of major Hollywood award shows to podcasts with Bill Maher - he even accepted a guest spot at the White House Correspondent's Dinner impersonating Donald Trump- in front of Joe Biden. The snowball intensified when Friend found himself on the Golden Globes' red carpet earlier this year where he came face-to-face with the likes of Nicholas Cage, Austin Butler, Mark Ruffalo and the infamous moment with Giamatti, daringly mimicking their iconic voices with uncanny accuracy to the amazement of his subjects. His opportunities have since included doing voices on hit animation shows he grew up idolizing like The Simpsons and Family Guy - the latter of which meant getting to meet the series' creator Seth MacFarlane.
