*Jamie Foxx reflected on his career in a conversation with Vanity Fair, revisiting some of his iconic roles, including his memorable portrayal of Wanda in “In Living Color. “
Wanda was a colorful character who donned a blonde wig and exaggerated facial features and attempted to charm men with outrageous sexual promises. Foxx, who joined the sketch comedy series in 1991 during its third season, noted that such humor wouldn’t work in today’s climate.
“We knew that we were doing something great in comedic cinema, like, you don’t get these types of moments often,” said Foxx. “I don’t think you have actually seen a pairing like that in generations, and you have great guys out there, ‘Key & Peele’ and ‘Saturday Night Live.’”
Foxx also addressed ongoing debates about the cultural impact of Black male performers dressing as women for comedic effect. The Grammy Award-winning singer called it “artistic statements in comedy.”
“These characters were like artistic statements in comedy,” Foxx told the publication.

“You know, we wanna entertain you, and we just having fun. We just being funny,” he added.

Meanwhile, Foxx reunited with Cameron Diaz for their new Netflix movie “Back in Action,” which debuted Jan. 17. The pair previosuly worked together on “Any Given Sunday” and “Annie.”
Per Netflix, in the film, Foxx and Diaz play seemingly average parents with a big secret: They used to be incredibly skilled secret agents.
“We’re on a mission, and we take this opportunity where people might think we’re dead, to disappear off the face of the planet and start a new life and raise our family,” Diaz told Netflix.
Filming for the movie began in late 2022 and extended into January 2024. Production gained attention in April 2023 when Foxx experienced a medical emergency on set that temporarily halted shooting. Following his hospitalization, he returned to the set in January 2024.
“For Jamie, the show must go on and he has always been eager to see this project completed,” an insider told PEOPLE at the time.
