I Sabotaged Idris Elba From Getting Iconic Film Role - Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx goes after what he wants, at any cost. During a recent interview at the Toronto International Film Festival alongside Michael B. Jordan, the Oscar-winning actor revealed that he was determined to score the lead role in 2012's Django Unchained, by any means necessary. In fact, he was even willing to sabotage another actor's chances.

Once he learned that Idris Elba was among the actors being considered for the same role, Foxx admitted that he personally took the time to urge the British star to turn it down.
