Jamie Foxx says he has big plans for his hometown of Terrell, Texas. But he's not ready to share exactly what they are.
"We're going to do something real special in Terrell — for the whole city," the Oscar-winning actor and singer said Sunday at the Essence Music Festival.
Foxx said he has "snuck back" to his hometown, which is about 30 miles east of Dallas, a couple of times since he won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the movie "Ray."
He said he plans to help friends with community work such as opening a new youth center.
