Hollywood star Jamie Foxx believes that his renouncement of the marriage could have done well for the relationship with his two daughters.
His now 27-year-old daughter Corinne used to refer to the married parents of her friends, Foxx told the celebrity portal “E!
News «.
"But then many of those marriages broke up as the children got older," said Foxx.
"Unfortunately, we saw the children suffer injuries from their families," the Oscar winner continued.
"We actually got closer." His family life was different, but very loving, said Foxx.
Foxx, who has also had a career as a musician since the 1990s, made a conscious decision to always have his "great family" close by.
“I want them to see the things I go through.
There's a lot of hard work, there's a lot of disappointment, but there's also a lot to celebrate, ”said Foxx.
According to the US portal »People.com«, Foxx has two daughters with two different ex-girlfriends.
His younger daughter Annalize is 12 years old.
First Ray Charles, now Mike Tyson
Foxx is one of the most successful actors in Hollywood.
Many know him especially in his role as Django Freeman in "Django Unchained" by star director Quentin Tarantino.
He celebrated his most successful year personally in 2005, when he was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor for his role in "Collateral" alongside Tom Cruise.
The role of the musician Ray Charles in "Ray" finally won him the Oscar for best actor.
His latest project is also eagerly awaited: Foxx is to take on the role of former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson in the miniseries "Iron Mike".
The 53-year-old had already reported last summer that he was training vigorously for the boxer role with pull-ups and push-ups.
At that time, a feature film biopic was planned, which is now becoming a TV format.
