Jamie Foxx is a colossal figure in the entertainment world. Heâs the rare performer who has managed to land a number one single as a singer and win an Academy Award as an actor. He even won an Academy Award for playing a singer, to further blur the lines. Foxxâs pedigree is unique as it is impressive, which is why heâs the perfect person to bring a film about Luther Vandross to fruition. Foxx is partnering with the companies CNN Films and OWN to release Never Too Much, a documentary exploring Luther Vandrossâ impact on R&B music.
Never Too Much, which is directed by Dawn Porter, was picked up for distribution on May 15. She issued a statement once the deal was finalized, and restated how important Vandross is to generations of fans. âIâm thrilled to partner again with CNN Films and OWN to bring this film to audiences,â she said. âLutherâs music is timeless⌠and we canât wait for all of his fans new and old to experience his brilliance.â
She also teased how much she learned about the singer during the making of the documentary. âI think people will be surprised at how much he accomplished in his tragically short life,â she added. âIt is a joy to be able to share his true story.â

Foxxhole, as one might infer, is Foxxâs production company. Never Too Much will release in 2025.
A biopic on Vandrossâ life is also in the works. Craig Seymour is currently adapting Vandrossâ biography, Luther: The Life and Longing of Luther Vandross, for the big screen.

Foxx never shared what his medical condition was, but he assured fans back last July that he was never blind nor paralyzed, even though rumors ran wild.
âI went through something I thought I would never, ever go through,â he said back during the ordeal. âI know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear an update, but to be honest with you, I didnât want you to see me like that, man.â

Tyrin Turner has denied accusations from Suge Knight that he and Jamie Foxx are secretly gay lovers, while also blasting Suge for making such comments in 2024. âMe and Jamie have been like brothers and best friends for years. What people donât understand is that we do a lot of business together. So you may have seen us a lot,â Tyrin Turner explained during his interview. When youâre dealing with people, people want to throw the little gay rumor [on you]. Somebody always gotta be gay in the world. I know what I like. I wouldâve never thought in a million years that Suge would put something out there like that of somebody being gay, especially in the time that weâre living in where itâs okay,â Turner told The Art of Dialogue.
Elsewhere in the interview, Turner revealed that he has a new project coming out that was created in collaboration with Foxx. Alert: Missing Persons Unit will air on Fox this year.
Tyrin Turner Claims He Confronted Diddy At Jamie Foxxâs House
Itâs not the first time that Turner has dropped bombshells for the interview series. Last May, Turner spoke about defending Foxx from Diddyâs wrath. âIt was a total misunderstanding,â he explained. âI think Puff almost fell and tripped â you know, we was at Jamie [Foxx]âs house. I think he kind of tripped or something. And brother, you know, he kind of laughed. And I guess it wasnât funny to Puff. You know what I mean?â Turner said. âSo Puff kinda put, you know, like â âHey, come here.â Whatâs funny, or whatever. And I see it from my peripheral. And Iâm like, thatâs my brother. Puffy donât know my brother. This is weird. That ainât â this donât look cool. So Iâm like â I pushed my brother out the way, and Iâm like, hold on.â Turner continued.
So Turner, a long-time friend of Foxxâs, confronted Diddy about it. âAnd I asked Puff, âyou know him?â And Puff is like, âNah, playboy,â and Iâm like, âAye, n-gga, thatâs my brother. Iâll touch everything in here for my brother. Period.â So me and Puff, we end up having a conversation, as men, we shook hands and everything was great.â According to Turner, the confrontation did not go any further than an exchanging of words, with the pair able to squash their temporary beef. While the story is nothing more than a tense interaction many years ago, itâs an interesting story behind two 90s heavyweights.

Jamie Foxx joked about the conspiracy theories that heâs been cloned while accepting the Producer Award at the African-American Film Critics Association Awards. In doing so, he referenced his history of dating white women. The rumors about him being a clone sparked, last year, when he disappeared from the public eye with an undiagnosed health complication for several months.
âIâll be going back to my stand-up sort of roots, and Iâll tell you in my way,â he said of his illness. âItâll be called âWhat Had Happened Was,â And itâs got all the things that have happenedâespecially on our side in our community. Being cloned and all kinds of sh*t. N****s will come up with anything. Motherf*cking clone, he a clone!â Even when they saw me out. âThat ainât no goddamn Jamie, thatâs a clone!â Iâm on a boat [waving my hand], âNo! thatâs a clone!â I dove out of a car to save this Black womanâs purse, and Iâm taking a picture, and they go, âThat ainât no damn Jamie, thatâs a clone!ââ

The Jamie Foxx Show premiered on The WB on August 28, 1996. With its hilarious cast led by the phenomenal Jamie Foxx, the show delivered laughter, charisma, and unforgettable moments to audiences across the nation. Altogether, it has 100 episodes split across five seasons that ran from 1996 to 2001. Although itâs been over two decades since it ended, many fans dearly hold fond memories of watching its episodes. Also, new audiences continue to find and experience it. Recently, Christopher B. Duncan, who played Braxton P. Hartnabrig, posted on Instagram about his time on the series and mentioned that he almost got a spinoff. While that unfortunately never happened, he, as well as the other stars, have achieved much since the show ended. Hereâs what the stars of The Jamie Foxx Show has been up to, and where they are now.
Co-creator and central character of the show, Jamie Foxx held it down through all five seasons. Foxxâs portrayal of Jamie King aptly showcased his comedic talents and laid the foundation for his successful career in Hollywood. Since the show wrapped in 2001, the actor has achieved some very impressive feats. In 2005, he swept up awards at the Oscars, Golden Globes, and BAFTA ceremonies, among others, for his outstanding performance in Ray. Additionally, Foxx won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group in 2010.
Today, Jamie Foxx is a very accomplished and recognized figure in the entertainment industry. Foxx has starred in many films since 2001, including Dreamgirls (2006), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), and They Cloned Tyrone (2023), among others. Now 56 years old, he is still going strong. The actor is set to appear in a handful of upcoming movies, like Back In Action which also stars Cameron Diaz.
For five seasons, Garcelle Beauvais portrayed the character Francesca Monroe on The Jamie Foxx Show. The romantic arc of her and Foxxâs character was one of the highlights of the entire show. Before starring in the show, Beauvais was a prominent young model and had appeared in a handful of other shows and movies. However, she mostly appeared in recurring or guest roles, and her part on The Jamie Foxx Show was one of her first major TV roles. She has built a very impressive catalog since then, racking up acting credits in several films and shows. These include The Mentalist (2014), Spider-Man: Homecoming(2017), and Coming 2 America (2021), among others.
Jamie Kingâs nemesis-turned-best friend, Braxton, was hilariously portrayed by the talented Christopher B. Duncan. An important character on The Jamie Foxx Show, he was present throughout the showâs five seasons. Since the showâs finale, Christopher B. Duncan has bagged roles in many other films and TV shows. These include My Name Is Khan (2010), The First Family (2012 â 2015), and First Kill (2022), among others. In addition, the 59-year-old is a father of three, and has been married to Susan Wood Duncan since 2007. Interestingly enough, Duncan revealed that he and Susan, his on-screen girlfriend on The Jamie Foxx Show, were considered to star in a spin-off series.
Another series regular, Ellia English portrayed the beloved Aunt Helen on The Jamie Foxx Show. After moving on from the show, English went on to star in a handful of TV shows and movies. While her filmography is not as extensive as others on this list, it is still impressive. Ellia English has acting credits on Curb Your Enthusiasm (2007 â 2009), Cornered! (2009), and Good Luck Charlie (2010 â 2014), among others. However, since the final season of Code Black aired in 2018, she has not appeared on screen.Â
Acting veteran Garrett Morris first appeared on-screen in 1960, and has a career that spans over six decades. His portrayal of Uncle Junior King on The Jamie Foxx Show was one of the best parts of the show. Like the aforementioned stars, Morris was also a series regular throughout the showâs five season. By the time the show finished in 2001, Morris was 64 years old. However, in subsequent years, he continued to act, starring in many shows and movies. Now 86 years old, he has appeared in recent movies and shows including Grand-Daddy Day Care (2019), Self Made (2020), and How I Met Your Father (2023), among others.

Andy Berman is the only member of the main cast who did not appear in all five seasons of the show. As a matter of fact, he was only a series regular for the first 12 episodes of the first season. In those episodes, Berman portrayed the character Dennis, the bellboy of Kingâs Tower. After leaving The Jamie Foxx Show, Berman went on to build his career as an actor, writer, and producer. He starred in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2004), as well as Psych (2006 â 2014) which he also has writing and production credits on. Additionally, Berman is well known for his voice role as Dib Membrane in Invader Zim. He has starred in a handful of other shows and movies.
29-year-old Corinne Foxx spent much of this year by her father, Jamie Foxxâs side as he recovered from a near-fatal medical scare in the spring. Watching fake news about the man who raised her circulate online was hard for the game show host and her loved ones, but now that heâs back outside and enjoying life, she seems to be more comfortable focusing on her other relationships. As PEOPLE reports, Corinne has been publicly dating Joe Hooten since 2019, and now, sheâs happy to announce their engagement with the world via Instagram.
âFrom the first time I saw you, I knew you were my forever ,â Jamieâs daughter wrote in her caption on Sunday (December 17). The coupleâs engagement photos are the work of Bailey Ann Templeton, whose use of moody black and white filters couldnât dull the shine in Corinneâs smile. Weâre unsure exactly how their romance first sparked, but it was at the University of Southern California in 2018 where they met. The next fall, Foxx posted a photo of her and Hooten together at a horse stable, making their fling internet official.
While the Los Angeles native easily fell into the entertainment industry thanks to her fatherâs influence, Hooten also has creative talents. His Coverfly profile lists him as an award-winning write-director and television executive, currently employed by John Wells Productions. Joe is âpassionate about telling emotional, provocative stories about socio-economic classism,â according to the account.
Corinne isnât the only member of Jamie Foxxâs family whoâs preparing to take her relationship to the next step. Amid his recovery from his medical scare earlier this year, sources shared that the Project Power actor is hoping to propose to his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp. Read more about that gossip at the link below, and check back later for more pop culture/celebrity news updates.
