Jamie Foxx on The Tim Ferris Show

[The Coochie Assassin]

Not sure where to put this since it's a podcast, but actor Jamie Foxx is on it. This is one of the best interviews I've heard with Foxx.

Jamie Foxx on Workout Routines, Success Habits, and Untold Hollywood Stories | The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss

This episode is easily one of my favorites I’ve ever done.

Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) is an Academy Award-winning actor, a Grammy Award-winning musician, and a famous standup and improv comedian. He is, without a doubt, the most consummate performer and entertainer I have ever met. In the 2.5 hours we spent together in his home studio, he blew my mind.

We cover a TON in this wide-ranging episode, including many never-before-heard stories. Here’s just a tiny sample of what you’ll hear:

• Jamie’s workout routine
• Jamie’s origin stories — how he used $400 to match a $1,000,000 party thrown by Puff Daddy; building up his network with Kanye, Jay Z, and Pharrell; expanding his fan base; and bombing horribly at the beginning.
• What he learned during the magic of In Living Color
• Jamie playing live music throughout our interview
• Impersonations (and lessons learned from many of the following) — Quincy Jones, Ed Sheeran, Ray Charles, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Cosby, Doc Rivers, Kermit the Frog, Sammy Davis, Jr., LeBron James, Bill Clinton, Tamara Rawitt, Shawn Wayans, Jim Carrey, Oprah Winfrey, Norman Lear, Mike Tyson, and others
• The key skills Jamie learned from his grandmother
• Jamie’s parenting style
• Check out the show notes below for much, much more. Enjoy!

This is a great interview. It's TWO hours though. (Ferris has never heard of a short interview)

Foxx originally thought gold digger was going to be wack because Kayne didn't let him sing it the way he wanted until they told him it was a number 1 record. Seems like everyone has a cool Kayne story. No matter what you think of Kayne everyone always has something positive to say about his work ethic.

Hearing about Jamie's background in music and comedy, he was born to play Ray Charles in Ray. Jamie is very talented. His grandma was very instrumental in his development into the man he is today. I really respect the way he climbed to fame and the work he put in.
