Actor Jamie Foxx said of his upcoming film, 'I kill all the white people in the movie ... How great is that?'
Jamie Foxx (born Eric Marlon Bishop), is a 44-year-old American actor who won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of musician Ray Charles in the film Ray, as well as a stand-up comedian, a singer/songwriter, and a radio talk show host.On 8 December 2012, Foxx appeared as the guest host on Saturday Night Live (SNL) to plug his upcoming movie, Django Unchained, in which he plays a freed slave turned bounty hunter who sets out to rescue his wife from a ruthless Mississippi plantation owner. In his opening monologue for SNL that evening Foxx riffed on a theme of 'How black is that?', touching on the recent activities of prominent blacks such as rapper Jay-Z, himself, and President Obama. Speaking of himself, Foxx mentioned his role in the soon-to-be-released Django Unchained:I got a movie coming out, Django Unchained, check it out. I play a slave. Uh, how black is that? And in the movie I have to wear chains. Umm ... how whack is that? But don't worry about it, because I get out of the chains, I get free, I save my wife, and I kill all the white people in the movie.So in a literal sense it is true that Jamie Foxx spoke the words attributed to him above, but they were part of a comedic monologue written for the opening of a comedic sketch show and not an extemporaneous comment.
