Jamie Foxx has had a blessed career, but his story has been anything but easy. The award-winning actor has faced numerous challenges over the course of his life, and there are some tragic details about Jamie Foxx that even his biggest fans may not know. Jamie Foxx didn't have an easy start in life. His parents split before his first birthday and left Foxx behind. Luckily, as he told O, the Oprah Magazine in 2005, he was taken in by his grandmother, who he has referred to as a role model. He told Oprah - "Although my parents weren't around, my grandparents adopted me when I was 7 months old. I was never short on the love of a mother and father, though it came from an earlier generation of family." But his grandmother didn't have a blood obligation to take in her grandson. As the Oscar winner explained to Entertainment Weekly in 2020, she wasn't actually his mother's biological mother, revealing - "[My mother] was adopted by the same lady as well, so literally, legally, she's my sister," Opening up about the powerful impact his grandma's selfless act had on his life, Foxx fought back tears during a 2017 episode of Beat Shazam as he told viewers, "My grandmother, that's not actually my biological grandmother, that's somebody who said, 'I see something in that little boy that's very special' and she made sure I had every tool that I needed to grow and expand."
