Foxx profiled in Parade

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on October 31st, 2005

Fluff with detail is how we describe those Parade profiles. This one is on Jamie Foxx who, he claims, went up on the comedy stage for the first time on a dare from a girlfriend.

Within a year and a half, he had left college, dropped his birth name and invented “Jamie Foxx” as his standup moniker. “The way I looked at the whole situation was, if I fail as Jamie Foxx, I’ll just change my name and come back as something else.”

The entire interview will go up on the Parade website on the 7th of November.
