From playing a professional quarterback in Any Given Sunday to starring as the legendary Ray Charles in Ray,Academy Award-winning actor Jaime Foxx has been willing to do what ever it takes to transform his body to fit his characters. In the December/January issue of Men’s Fitness, Foxx, a former high-school quarterback reveals the secrets and rigors of preparing for some of his most physically challenging roles and why he is willing to make such sacrifices to reach the top of his field. “Awhile back, I did this tribute for Al Pacino,” he says in the issue. “Look back on his body of work and you see the different ways he’s changed. … I want people to look back on [my] body of work and say,’Wow, it’s like he morphed into different characters.”
“I spent hours getting the nuances of the person, making him real. Something angelic happens and you actually become that person. For Nathaniel, I pushed things a bit. I lost about 20 pounds and I put a gap in my teeth. I had one (of my teeth) chipped out with a chisel. My teeth are just so big and white - a homeless person would never have them. I wanted to break up my big, shining piano keys to five them a little character. Some might think I f*cked up my grill for nothing, but I just wanted to come up with some s— to make the part unique.”
Jim Jones Covers the December/January issue of Complex Magazine. In the issue Jim Jones talks His acting career, New York Rap, Cam’ron, 50 Cent and of course Rocafella. Peep some of the interview below.
You hear it all the time, but NY rap is still not back to being at the forefront of rap. Who else would you enlist to bring the game back?
Jim Jones: Without my own personal hatred—I got to put all my feelings aside—to bring NY back properly, I would definitely put the Lox as a whole. Definitely 50. I f*ck with 50, and beyond everything we got a mutual understanding. I think we think alike in some ill twisted way. But, it’s still aggressive competition above all, because we all trying to eat out the same pot.
So even with personal hatred aside, Nas and Jay are still not on the roster?
Jim Jones: To bring New York back? Sh*t, why they ain’t bring it back already? It would’ve been back. I didn’t even think about them. The integrity of their music right now is not where we come from any more. Nas is still stuck in Africa, and Jay is talking about way too much money and Merrill Lynch talk and shi*t like that.
50 cent is one celebrity who is not feeling Kanye West‘s new album, 808’s & Heartbreak. MTV caught up with the rapper and asked what he thought about Kanye’s upcoming album. This is what 50 had to say:
“I heard, like, seven songs,” 50 said of the album, which features Kanye singing more than on his past albums. “There’s a place for it. I think people will enjoy it if you’re actually in love or going through something. I mean if your going through something you can actually vibe with it. I think Kanye’s going through an interesting point in his career.
“I don’t think the public will forgive [Kanye] for it, but it’s interesting. I think it’s T-Pain’s record, but I’d rather buy it from T-Pain.”
