Jamie Foxx Stopped Partying Because Of Oprah Winfrey

Actor Jamie Foxx recently said that talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the reason why he stopped partying. Oprah once warned the actor that this could ruin his career. The actor served as the lead character in Ray Charles biopic 'Ray' in 2005. The flick fetched him applauds and it was nominated for an Oscar too.

During the award shows when he was having a good time, the talk show host called him. Giving details about it, the actor said, "I'm having such a good time. I'm drinking ... I'm doing every thing you could possibly imagine”.  And then Winfrey called him and sad, "You're blowing it, Jamie Foxx. All of this gallivanting and all this kind of s**t, that's not what you want to do ... I want to take you somewhere. Make you understand the significance of what you're doing".

To make him understand the seriousness of what he was doing, Oprah also organised a meeting for Foxx with several famous black actors at Quincy Jones's house. Jamie added, "We go in the house and there are all these old actors. Black actors from the 1960s and the 1970s. Who look like they just want to say, 'Good look.' They want to say, 'Don't blow it'. To this day, it's the most significant time in my life where it was, like, a chance to grow up".
