Jamie Foxx, the multi-talented entertainer, is gearing up to make a return to stand-up comedy. The 56-year-old recently shared a video on Instagram from his 2002 HBO special, showcasing his hilarious impression of the late music icon Prince. In the clip, taken from 'I Might Need Security,' Foxx humorously imagines how Prince would sing the theme song of the classic TV show 'The Brady Bunch'.
Expressing his intention to bring more comedic moments to audiences, Foxx announced his plans to hit the live comedy stage once again. Despite gaining fame as an actor and musician, Foxx initially made a name for himself in the comedy world, appearing on the sketch show 'In Living Color' and releasing several comedy specials in the '90s and early 2000s.
The 2002 special, filmed in Oakland, California, featured Foxx showcasing his musical talents and impersonations, including his memorable Prince impression. Foxx's admiration for Prince was evident, as he fondly recalled meeting the music legend in 1998 and being starstruck by his presence.
Although Foxx shifted his focus to acting and music over the years, winning an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles in 'Ray,' he is now set to make a comedic comeback. With several movies in the pipeline, including the upcoming Netflix film 'Back in Action' alongside Cameron Diaz, Foxx's return to stand-up comedy is eagerly anticipated by fans.
Despite facing a medical setback during the filming of 'Back in Action,' Foxx has resumed work on the project, with Netflix hinting at a 2024 release date for the movie. As Foxx prepares to bring his signature humor back to the stage, audiences can look forward to more unforgettable moments from the versatile entertainer.
