À propos de cet audio
In this hilarious and heartfelt memoir, award-winning, multi-talented entertainer Jamie Foxx shares the story of being raised by his no-nonsense grandmother, the glamour and pitfalls of life in Hollywood, and the lessons he took from both worlds to raise his two daughters.
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 he’s doing when it comes to raising girls - especially when they talk to him about TikTok (PlikPlok?) and don’t share his enthusiasm for flashy Rolls Royces - but 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. Jamie learned everything he knows about parenting from the fierce woman who raised him: As he puts it, she’s “Madea before Tyler Perry put on the pumps and the gray wig”.
In Act Like You Got Some Sense - a title inspired by Estelle - Jamie 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 we’ve never seen him before.
©2021 Jamie Foxx (P)2021 Grand Central PublishingCe que les critiques en disent
"In this debut full of genuine reflection and heartfelt humor, actor and comedian Foxx riffs on parenting ('You ain’t ready for it') and the life experiences that gradually helped shape him as a father.... Foxx writes in a jovial manner, with jokes flying constantly.... Yet where this book truly excels is in its honesty, offering an intimate look past Jamie Foxx the famous actor to reveal a relatable figure." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"A practical, sometimes profane, always entertaining guide to the fine art of parenting." (Kirkus Reviews)
"In cheerfully meandering stories, Foxx displays his comedic timing and pacing and is always entertaining, blending the folksy yet hard-edged wisdom of his adoptive grandmother with hard-won, more worldly 'New Dad' sensibilities.... Foxx's parenting-advice book is the equivalent of a vitamin-packed smoothie: sweet, fun, and easy to enjoy, full of slyly concealed nourishment and goodness." (Booklist)

Had no idea
My first exposure to Jamie Foxx was when I saw him in Django. I'd never heard of him before, but his intensity and focus in that movie was on par with Leonard de Caprio's. They were, their characters in that movie.
So it intrigued me when I spotted this title on Audible. I've read some interesting biographies in my time. You always hope to learn something new with every sitting. This work, was no different.
I listened, and laughed and reflected upon Jamie's (aka Eric's) life as a kid, growing up without a dad. Him having a dominant woman figure raising him. That he was a stand up comedian (I must have been under quite the big rock back in those days). And then fame and parenthood collided. With Jamie eventually discovering what it takes to be a great dad.
What did I learn?
That Jamie is no different than every other parent. Rich or poor. He tried to do his best, but didn't always succeed. He had a lot of key mentors, but still fucked up. But he didn't give up. And would always remember what his mentors, especially granny, taught him. He forgave people in his life. A lot. Which is pretty amazing in Hollywood. But essential if you want to keep family and friends a part of your life.
I learned that the lessons that parents pass onto their children are timeless. When Annalise was angry with Jamie for a 2nd day in a row, that brought back a flood of memories from my own upbringing - "never go to bed angry." Forgive and move on. Tomorrow is a new day.
And in the end, I learned that by not giving up and showing unconditional love for his two kids, he made sure that they didn't grow up without a dad like he did. Instead he helped them turn into a couple of well rounded, independent, and confident kids.
Well done Jamie. Well done.
