Jamie Foxx Explains The Origin Of 'Jamie Foxx'

[@williamcortelyou4524]

Every now and then, Stephen shows he has swag. He jumped right into that dance, and I have to give the man credit. He dropped it like it's hot.

The dave chapelle impression... Legend😂😂

[@scottsacala]

Lol right? It goes to show how talented Jamie really is. He's once stated that he would listen to and observe when studying for impressions very closely. But in this case he was just casually watching a lot of Chapelle work like the "Chapelle Show" and it naturally got embedded into his memory... not realizing that he absorbed his impression. Lol he was surprised that it even came out.

[@beckelmore8448]

Some years ago he came back to Terrell to do a small speech/performance for the town and he was the funniest, kindest dude ever. We turned around and named the street he grew up on after him, renamed the performing arts center he built for us to have his name on it, and gave him a key to the city and he cried. He’s a rad dude.

[@beckelmore8448]

Jamie Foxx reminds me of Robin Williams in this interview

[@ascent8487]

Yeah. A little bit manic. I don't mean that as an insult. But you know, that intense, manic energy.

Joseph Peat definitely makes sense. Robin was one of the best "off the cuff" cats in the game...

daysErlock so? Take care of you and your own. Don't worry about his private life. It's got nothing to do with anyone.

[@ascent8487]

Well if Stern exposed him than it must be true. Generally closeted gay men don't feel comfortable dressing as women for roles/parts due to extreme homophobia. I really doubt he is. He doesn't appear to be. But, if he is in the closet that would mean there is some kind of struggle he is going through and other celebrities "exposing," someone else's personal struggle for entertainment value is pitiful. Finally, it's no ones business.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

Ascent Actually, there's a whole thing about putting black men in entertainment in women's clothing. Goes way back to the days of "buck breaking". Some black comedians have spoken about this.

[@A-Dubs398]

G Nickson- He's way older than 30 and you know it. You just want someone to comment the cliche of "Black don't crack." If he was barely 30, that would make him a teen a little more than a decade ago in like 2007, which is obviously false. He looked way older than a teen in 2007 and before. And Ray came out in 2004 and he looked old there. He didn't even look like a teen in In Living Color in the 90s.
