FANS BACK WILL SMITH FOR HIS TRIBUTE POST TO JAMIE FOXX

It was not just fans, but also members of the entertainment world who showered
praises on the actor. Former NFL player Emmanuel Acho also called Foxx a beast
in the comments, referring to both of them as legendary. Another commented how
he is not just familiar with but aces all three categories of acting, comedy,
and music.

Foxx himself commented on the post, confessing what a big deal it is to receive
such admiration from a star like Will Smith. He returned the Emancipation
actor’s words with his own, to show his support for the actor. They also
mentioned seeing each other in Paris.
