Jamie Foxx has built an impressive legacy in the entertainment industry after more than three decades of success and learns from both bad times and good.
Jamie Foxx understands and appreciates the power of perspective. The Academy award-winning actor created a career in an industry built on extreme success and equally debilitating failures. After debuting on the silver screen more than 30 years ago – this December – alongside Robin Williams in the dramatic comedy 'Toys,' Foxx credited staying grounded to one specific thing: 'My family.
It was a tip of the hat to him that I chose that name, and the name stuck, and I have to be thankful to him for blazing the trail as a comedian and allowing me to sort of ride on his coattails,' he said. 'Learning from the good and bad times. It’s impossible to bat 100% percent in this business, so it’s important to keep that in perspective.' One year ago, the Academy Award-winning actor was hospitalized after suffering an undisclosed medical complication.
He's since slowly made his way back into the public eye with the support of his friends and family. 'I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through,' he said in an Instagram post shared in July. 'I know a lot of people were waiting, or wanting to hear updates, and to be honest with you – I just didn't want you to see me like that.
've been sick, man, but now, I've got my legs under me, so you're going to see me out,' he said. 'I'm here on Earth because of some great people. I'm here on Earth because of God.' The Grammy award-winner has eight projects slated for the future, according to IMDb, and wrapped filming 'Back in Action' last year after production was halted following Foxx's medical scare.
Jamie will also work with Robert De Niro and Scott Eastwood in 'Tin Soldier,' an action-thriller about the government's suspicions over a 'cult-like' program for combat veterans. Another huge project Foxx recently launched as the owner and creative director of his own BSB Whiskey, an endeavor inspired by his renewed appreciation for life following the medical scare.
