From Academy Award-winning multi-talent Jamie Foxx, a hilariously candid look at the joys and pitfalls of being the father of 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 heâs doing when it comes to raising girlsâespecially when they talk to him about TikTok (PlikPlok?) and donât share his enthusiasm for flashy Rolls Roycesâbut 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. Â Jamie learned everything he knows about parenting from the fierce woman who raised him: As he puts it, sheâs âMadea before Tyler Perry put on the pumps and the gray wig.â
Â
In Act Like You Got Some Senseâa title inspired by EstelleâJamie 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 weâve never seen him before.
