There's movies like this where the people they're based on just show up for a small blink and you'll miss it cameo, a nod that they exist. And then there's movies like The Disaster Artist where James Franco's Tommy Wiseau has an entire scene of dialogue with Tommy Wiseau's Tommy Wiseau.

EDIT: The scene in question

I got to see Chris Gardner as a guest speaker at an event. He’s absolutely wonderful, just a really gifted public speaker. He talked about the movie a bit and said he’s still friends with Will Smith.
