Magic Johnson brings Jimmy Kimmel cutout on yacht holiday

The former basketball player’s move comes after Kimmel photoshopped himself into Johnson’s vacation pictures.

Magic Johnson, 64, has added a quirky twist to his summer yacht escapades by inviting Jimmy Kimmel, albeit in cardboard form. 

This playful gesture follows Kimmel's recent comedic prowess in photoshopping himself into several of Johnson's vacation snapshots. 

In an Instagram post shared on Monday, July 8, Johnson revealed the presence of a cardboard cutout of Kimmel among his entourage, including his wife Earleatha "Cookie" Johnson, 65, and friends, all donning '80s attire.

The post featured a snapshot of the group posing with the Kimmel cutout, which also made a cameo in a humorous video alongside chefs Daisy and Hannah. "I knew he was a jack of all trades but between taking over the dance floor and showing off his culinary skills, he was the star of the night! 😂," Johnson quipped in the caption.

Among the trip's famous faces, Cedric The Entertainer added to the jest, jokingly referencing Kimmel's Photoshop antics, "Right after this picture Jimmy try to show us he could swim, He forgot he was cardboard, got soggy and sank… now he’s down there w/ Nemo. 🏊‍♀️🐡🐠🐋."
