Overview
Jamie Foxx has won an Academy Award and a Grammy Award, laughed with sitting presidents, and partied with the biggest names in hip-hop. But he is most proud of his role as father to two very independent young women, Corinne and Anelise. Jamie might not always know what heās doing when it comes to raising girlsāespecially when they talk to him about TikTok (PlikPlok?) and donāt share his enthusiasm for flashy Rolls Roycesābut he does his best to show up for them every single day.
Luckily, he has a strong example to follow: his beloved late grandmother, Estelle Marie Talley. Ā Jamie learned everything he knows about parenting from the fierce woman who raised him: As he puts it, sheās āMadea before Tyler Perry put on the pumps and the gray wig.ā
Ā
In Act Like You Got Some Senseāa title inspired by EstelleāJamie shares up close and personal stories about the tough love and old-school values he learned growing up in the small town of Terrell, Texas; his early days trying to make it in Hollywood; the joys and challenges of achieving stardom; and how each phase of his life shaped his parenting journey. Hilarious, poignant, and always brutally honest, this is Jamie Foxx like weāve never seen him before.
