Jamie Foxx is a multi-talented artist renowned for his versatility. His acclaim stems from outstanding performances in Ray, which earned him an Academy Award, Django Unchained, and Collateral. Beyond his acting prowess, he’s a gifted musician, garnering numerous accolades in both domains. However, the actor once embarrassed his daughter at a red carpet.
Jamie Foxx doesn’t hold back, not even with his daughter present. During the Oscars red carpet, while having a conversation with ABC, Foxx unabashedly flirted with singer Kelly Rowland, who was serving as a guest correspondent for the network that night. All of this unfolded in front of his 19-year-old daughter, Corinne Bishop.
Jamie Foxx Had A Big Crush On Kelly Rowland
Carrie Bishop found herself positioned beside her father, Jamie Foxx, becoming an unwilling witness to his futile attempts to engage Kelly Rowland in conversation, only to be met with a decisive rejection. The expression on Bishop’s face spoke volumes as her father playfully tried to win over the Destiny’s Child singer.
Foxx told Rowland (via The Guardian):
“I’ve always had a crush on you. One day I’m going to write a tell-all autobiography, go on a reality TV show and SLAY YOU.”
Kelly Rowland expressed her feelings, admitting to feeling embarrassed in the moment. She commended Jamie Foxx for his gentlemanly demeanor and interrupted him, exclaiming that she adored him.
Rowland said (via Huffpost):
“I’m very embarrassed right now. He’s a gentleman. I’m gonna stop him right now. I know, stop it. I love me some Jamie.”
Social media erupted in response to Foxx’s perceived flirtation and his daughter’s evidently unenthusiastic reaction. However, it’s possible that the “Django Unchained” actor wasn’t actually flirting with the 32-year-old. According to certain reports, he may have been in the midst of discussing a potential role with Rowland while engaging in conversation on the red carpet.
Jamie Foxx Failed To Impress Tom Cruise In Collateral
The noticeable contrast in fame levels of Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx became apparent during the production of the 2004 film, Collateral, prompting Foxx to infuse some of his innate acting style into the movie. In a Yahoo! Entertainment interview, Foxx reminisced about a scene where he portrayed a cab driver and Tom Cruise was his passenger. As he attempted to improvise, director Michael Mann swiftly intervened, instructing Foxx to adhere to the script.
Jamie Foxx told Yahoo! Entertainment:
“So I’m in the cab, ACTING. And Michael [Mann] says, ‘What are you doing?’ And I said, ‘I gotta do my thing. You know who’s in the backseat [Tom Cruise], and I gotta do my thing!’ He says, ‘How about you not do your thing?'”
Jamie Foxx earned an Oscar nomination for his role in Collateral, which garnered a 7.5/10 rating on IMDb and an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In the United States, the movie is currently accessible for streaming on Netflix.
