“I remember seeing Eddie Murphy at his house, this was around ‘Coming 2 America,’ and he says he’s going to try to go do stand-up. I say to him, ‘You can’t,’” Foxx said. “He says, ‘Why?’ I say, ‘This ain’t funny. Your house is too nice. Whatever that scent is …’ He had a scent. You know, the s**t that pumps through the house.”

He turned to his friend, and a member of his management team, Dave Brown for answers. "He said, 'Foxx, you had a stroke,'" the actor recounted. Thanks to therapy and physical rehab, Foxx has come a long way since then.

Jamie Foxx joked he and his fellow comedian are too financially comfortable to write funny standup these days in a recent 'Hollywood Reporter' feature
