Foxx began the interview by saying that he greatly admired Diaz and the success she achieved over the course of her career.
“Cameron is such an incredible force and she has done so much in this business. We love her,” he declared.
The Django Unchained star further noted that he asked the actress a simple question during the negotiation process.
He remembered asking her, ‘Would you like to have some fun? Just have some fun!’ And I think that’s what prompted her.’
