He may be on the verge of turning 50, but for Jamie Foxx, being young is all about the way you live your life.
Not so long ago, Jamie Foxx was hanging out at a hot club and doing a bit of DJing.
“Everyone in the club sees me hanging out with Drake and Kanye,” Foxx said. “These girls wander over, and I’d say the average age was about 21. One of the girls pointed to her friend and said, ‘I’m 20, she’s 22. And then there’s our other friend, she’s ancient! She’s already 27!’”
How old is Foxx, she asked?
“When I said ’49,’ she looked at me like I had a terminal disease,” the actor recalled. “She said, ‘Forty … what? Did you say 49? Oh my God!’ Then she turned to her friends and said, ‘Come on, girls, let’s go.’
“I said proudly, ‘Yes, 49—and you can’t die from that number!’”
On a rainy morning at a Beverly Hills hotel, Foxx—who will turn 50 in December—wasn’t feeling his age.
“It’s about the way you live your life,” he said. “I live young.”
Wearing a red-plaid shirt, tight black jeans and gold sunglasses, the actor indeed had the energy of those 20-year-olds. Foxx entered the suite, then immediately raced to the balcony to pose for a selfie with one of his co-stars in the new film Sleepless. When she almost dropped her phone, he hugged her and cried, “Get it right, girl!”
“Yes, I’m doing my 50 thang,” Foxx sang, dancing around the room before dropping into a chair. “My daughter is like, ‘Dad, will you please allow your life to catch up to your age?’”
