Jamie Foxx, 55, revealed on The Graham Noton Show that his father, Darrell, and mother, Louise broke up 25 years ago, but they have all cohabited in the same Los Angeles house for the past 12 years.
His father, Darrell, still brings companions back to the house to make matters slightly more uncomfortable.
In his own words, “They’ve been divorced for 25 years, and 12 years ago, I sent my mom tickets and said “If you ever want to come for Christmas… She finally accepted, and we had a good Christmas and New Year. Her birthday is on New Year’s Day, so we partied for her birthday, and then all of a sudden, it was February.”
Jamie Foxx was born to Louise Dixon and Darrell Bishop in Texas but was abandoned when he was just seven months old.
The Django Unchained star was later taken in and raised by Esther Marie and Mark Talley, who have both since died.
Jamie Foxx parents reunited with his biological son twenty years ago when his dad Darrell, got out of jail.
He mentioned, “They live under the same roof, and what’s crazy is that dad still dates, so she’ll go to his side of the house just to see who’s there. And she’ll say “Oh, this is what we’re doing, is it?”
Cameron Diaz’s big comeback stalled after Jamie Foxx targeted in a $40,000 scam during filming
Cameron Diaz’s return to the big screen has supposedly been put on hold after a plot to take £33,000 from colleague Jamie Foxx in a fraud surfaced.
Masters of Big funds Netflix film ‘Back In Action’ are stated to have halted the production as they launched an investigation, resulting in a staff member being dismissed.
It is alleged that police were alerted to the incident as it is believed the same staff member may be linked to other attempts to obtain large sums of money from prominent stars in the past.
An insider revealed, “This film has been a bit of a nightmare.”
There have been numerous setbacks, particularly with the weather, due to filming outside in London in wintertime, but the latest issue is more serious.
One staff member has been fired, and there are investigations after an attempt to access £33,000 in cash from Jamie Foxx.
They attempted to present a Rolex watch as part of the deal, but there is now an investigation into the entire situation. The public will be relieved when this thing finally wraps up.
This incident occurred after news surfaced that Cameron likely would not return to Hollywood for another film after a friend revealed the star has been struggling with an extended work period that kept her apart from her spouse, Benji Madden, and their three-year-old daughter, Raddix.
Cameron officially stepped away from her Hollywood career in 2018 before being persuaded by her close friend Jamie Foxx to co-star with him in the action-comedy movie ‘Back In Action.’
However, her return to the movie was thrown into chaos earlier this month when it was announced that Jamie Foxx had an outburst on the UK set of the project, which led to the dismissal of three people.
A source close to her has revealed that, while she does not have any issue with Foxx, she likely would not come back to the film industry after completing the movie because she had such a tough time being away from her family and disliked the drama and confrontation that so often erupts on movie sets.
These consecutive ten-hour working days have been incredibly demanding on her, and she detests being away from her daughter.
Cameron Diaz is devoted to being a mother more than anything in the world.
She despises confrontation and drama. That is why she retired from acting in the first place. She has already proven herself in the acting industry and has nothing left to prove to anybody.
In 2018, Cameron notably walked away from Hollywood to spend more quality time with her husband, Benji.
The couple welcomed their daughter in December 2019 and have been extremely private about their life as parents to their three-year-old daughter.
According to some sources, while Benji has been incredibly ‘supportive’ of his wife’s decision to come out of retirement, the decision has taken a toll on him.
Benji supports everything she does, but it has been a strain on him. However, she did get to see her family while filming the movie.
Jamie’s outburst on set led to the dismissal of two directors, his driver, and an executive producer.
However, they said they would be extremely surprised if it caused any tension between Cameron and Foxx.
When someone is in a position of authority, occasionally, you have to make the decision to dismiss people who have a different vision than others.
Diaz is a businesswoman and understands that this is necessary at times, and truthfully, Foxx is the sole reason she is doing this movie, and they are very close.
Over the span of 20 years, Cameron amassed over forty highly successful movies and, at one time, was the highest-paid actress in the movie industry.
Cameron announced her retirement
However, since the announcement of her retirement, she has transitioned to other ventures, including creating her own wine brand, Avaline, which she launched with her business partner Katherine Powers during the height of the pandemic in 2020.
According to the source, this venture was a significant turning point for the Charlie’s Angels actress, providing her with a new creative outlet to focus on.
She has been deeply involved in Avaline and was instrumental in its founding.
Avaline has experienced rapid growth, and it is something that she is very, very proud of.
