In a sea of “Break My Soul” covers and TikTok dances, multi-hyphenate entertainer Christian King, known for his spot-on Denzel Washington impressions, did a monologue that left folks cackling.

In a video shared across his social media accounts, King performed a monologue version of “Break My Soul” as the Training Day actor. Nailing the actor’s body language and cadence, he somehow made the dance bop a soliloquy fit for a Shakespearean play.

Viewers loved it, and after someone shared the video on their Twitter account, it quickly went viral.

 

“I choked,” they wrote.

“THE LIP QUIVER!!! HE GOT IT,” another viewer wrote.

“Not an impression – it’s much deeper, it’s artistic interpretation,” one user added.

Another user noted that it really sounds like a monologue or speech Viola Davis would deliver.

“I can also hear Viola Davis saying this in a movie or as an award acceptance speech,” they tweeted.

And one user pointed out that he could have thrown in one of Washington’s go-to sayings to take the impression over the edge.

“Only thing missing was a ‘My man’ or ‘My n***a’ depending on the rating of the movie,” they tweeted.
