Vivica A. Fox and Jamie Foxx may share similar last names and a history of working together, but that didn\u2019t translate into a romantic connection between the two stars.<\/p>\n
Both actors soared to fame in the 1990s, enjoying successful careers in both movies and television. Their initial collaboration was in the 1997 comedy \u201cBooty Call,\u201d where Jamie portrayed one of two friends on a quest for casual dates. Meanwhile, Vivica played the character Lysterine, who required Jamie\u2019s character to put in considerable effort as he attempted, albeit unsuccessfully, to win her affections. Following the completion of the film, Jamie lauded Vivica\u2019s acting abilities in an interview with The Chicago Tribune.<\/p>\n
Despite their on-screen characters finding happiness, Jamie didn\u2019t fare as well in Vivica\u2019s assessment years later. In 2018, she candidly shared with Us Weekly that her most memorable on-screen kiss was with Morris Chestnut in \u201cTwo Can Play That Game.\u201d She humorously admitted to occasionally forgetting she was acting, necessitating multiple \u201ccut\u201d calls from the crew. Vivica even played a hypothetical game of \u201cdate, marry, or ditch\u201d involving Jamie, George Clooney, and Will Smith, and regrettably for Jamie, he was the one she chose to ditch, citing their fraternal bond and their shared history on \u201cBooty Call\u201d as the reason.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s important to note that lack of romantic interest doesn\u2019t diminish Vivica\u2019s affection for Jamie in her own unique way.<\/p>\n
During a segment on \u201cWatch What Happens Live,\u201d Vivica bestowed a special title upon Jamie. When prompted with Jamie\u2019s name, she paused momentarily before proclaiming, \u201cJamie Foxx. The best party giver!\u201d (via Yahoo!). It\u2019s worth mentioning that Vivica and Jamie even indulged in some revelry during the filming of \u201cBooty Call,\u201d though their relationship was multifaceted. Vivica confessed that Jamie\u2019s constant piano playing grated on her nerves at the time, attributing it to a blend of exhaustion and exasperation. She even questioned the purpose behind it. However, she had to eat her words when Jamie\u2019s music career soared, culminating in an Oscar win and the release of a successful album. Vivica emphasized that she continues to hold deep affection for Jamie and considers him a close friend.<\/p>\n
While romance may not be on the horizon for Vivica and Jamie, they\u2019re more than content to collaborate professionally. The pair is set to star in a new religious comedy titled \u201cNot A Church Movie.\u201d Given Jamie\u2019s role as God in the film, any romantic scenes between them are highly improbable. Producer Valerie McCaffrey praised the dynamic on set, highlighting the infectious energy Jamie brought to his role. Vivica also commended Jamie and their co-star Tommy Davidson from \u201cBooty Call\u201d for their playful nature, recalling the abundance of laughter on set. Their experiences on \u201cIn Living Color\u201d undoubtedly contributed to the camaraderie, making for a light-hearted and enjoyable working environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
