Comedian, musician and Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx can add author to his list of job titles as his first memoir, Act Like You Got Some Sense: And Other Things My Daughters Taught Me, is set to be published via Grand Central Publishing on Oct. 19. In honor of the occasion, Fox has announced that he is hitting the road on a 2021 book tour produced by Live Nation.
The tour kicks off on Oct. 15 in Philadelphia and makes stops in New York, Los Angeles, and Irving, TX before concluding in El Cajon, CA on Oct. 22. Tickets are currently on sale and information on COVID-19 vaccination or negative test requirements can be found at venues’ websites. Every ticket includes a signed copy of Foxx’s book and special guests will join the superstar along the way.
In Act Like You Got Some Sense, Foxx shares the stories from his childhood – and being raised by his grandmother – as well as his Hollywood experiences and the lessons he now shares with his two daughters.
“When I am deep in the weeds, trying to figure out how to parent my daughters, it is the voice of my grandmother I hear in my head, encouraging me, and of course yelling at me when I’m messing up as a parent. Thanks to her, I knew that it wasn’t about always being your kids’ best friend but being a parent. Even when it means you gotta be tough with them. Sometimes you gotta be tough because you love them. Just like she always loved me,” said Foxx in a statement.
