The multifaceted actor, comedian and artist, Jamie Foxx turns 57 years old today (Dec. 13). He has had such a prolific career over the years, showcasing his many talents in the entertainment industry. Today, we celebrate Foxx sharing his many gifts in television, film, music and comedy.

The Terrell, Texas actor landed his first major role in television as a cast member of the popular 90’s sketch comedy show, In Living Color. He later landed his very own sitcom, The Jamie Foxx Show in 1996. Foxx went on to prove himself as more than a comedian, earning an Academy Award for his portrayal of blues singer, Ray Charles in the 2004 biopic, Ray. Alongside his many acting accolades, Foxx has some of the most impressive celebrity impressions we have seen from a comedic talent. Let us not forget one of Foxx’s greatest contributions to the music industry — Unpredictable, the album.

It is not an easy feat to accomplish so much in entertainment, but Foxx makes it look effortless. He is also a father to another burgeoning talent. Foxx’s daughter Corinne Foxx is also an actress and producer. The two worked together on a Netflix show loosely based their relationship entitled, “Dad Stop Embarrassing,” which was sadly cancelled after its first season.

More recently, he returned to the industry after a major health scare with a Netflix special titled, “What Had Happened Was…” The acclaimed talent made his debut back to the comedy stage to set the record straight about what actually went down. Jamie revealed that he experienced “a brain bleed that led to a stroke” in the wild turn of events that occurred back in April 2023. What began as a bad headache and a dose of Aspirin, turned into a whirlwind of events for the entertainer. Thankfully, he’s here another year to tell the story.

We hope to see more even more from Jamie Foxx. Today, let’s relish in all of the memories he has given us so far from his notable films, classic television shows and unforgettable music.

Happy Birthday, Jamie Foxx!
