When asked if he thought it was more difficult to become famous during that time, Foxx gave a rather blunt answer: “Well, you had to be talented. That helped.”
“We used to flex our acting muscles and watch other actors and sit with other actors and talk about acting and talk about it,” he continued. “Now someone is going to ask, ‘Whose sweater is yours? What sweater are you wearing? What’s that dance move?’ And you’re the most famous person in the world.”
Although Foxx has not been acting since 2020 because he suffers from Parkinson’s disease, which makes it increasingly difficult for him to remember dialogue, he said he would consider returning to acting if the role was right.
“I think my biggest goal is to provide for my family. We have four great kids, which is a big thing,” Fox told entertainment tonight earlier this month. “Then the other one is with [Michael J.
