<p>Actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/chappelle-assailant-had-knife-hidden-in-fake-gun-jamie-foxx-rushed-onto-stage-to-aid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Foxx</a> complained recently that a movie he made several years ago may never get released, arguing that the film — which features him in whiteface and a white actor (Robert Downey Jr.) as a Mexican man — would likely rub woke critics the wrong way.</p>
<p>Foxx sat down for an <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/day-shift-interviews-with-jamie-foxx-dave-franco-and-director-jj-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with CinemaBlend promoting his Netflix film &#8220;Day Shift&#8221; — which IMDb <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13314558/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> as follows: &#8220;A hard-working, blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted 10-year-old daughter. His mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income: hunting and killing vampires.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the interview, Foxx <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/17/jamie-foxx-cancel-culture-movie-robert-downey-jr-playing-mexican-man/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave an update</a> on &#8220;All-Star Weekend&#8221; — the film he now believes might never make it into the hands of the public. The movie, a comedy that costars &#8220;Entourage&#8221; actor Jeremy Piven, is about two basketball fanatics who score tickets to a major NBA event. It was supposed to be released in 2019, but has been delayed.</p>
<p>Noting that the film had cast Downey Jr. in the role of a Mexican man, Foxx suggested that woke culture might not accept his film. &#8220;It’s been tough with the lay of the land when it comes to comedy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We&#8217;re trying to break open the sensitive corners where people go back to laughing again.&#8221;</p>
<p>Foxx plays several roles himself in the movie, including that of a racist white police officer — and he explained that was one of the reasons he believed Downey Jr. was perfect for the role. Referencing the &#8220;Iron Man&#8221; actor&#8217;s turn in blackface in the war comedy &#8220;Tropic Thunder,&#8221; he explained that he had had to convince Downey Jr. to take the role.</p>
<p>&#8220;You played the black dude and you killed that s***,&#8221; he reportedly said at the time. &#8220;We got to be able to do characters.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to Foxx, Downey Jr., and Piven, &#8220;All-Star Weekend&#8221; has an all-star cast including Benicia del Toro, Gerard Butler, and Eva Longoria — and according to Foxx, the one thing he heard back after every early screening of the film was just how much people were laughing. &#8220;Hopefully we&#8217;ll keep them laughing,&#8221; he said.</p>
