Jamie Foxx shared a humorous story about recruitment Snoop Dogg to intimidate her daughter Corinne's ex-boyfriend, highlighting his protective parenting style.

Despite being laid back, he stresses the importance of allowing his children to live their own lives.

This comes after Jamie Foxx opened up about his stroke experience, recalling waking up from a coma after 20 days with no memory and difficulty walking.

During an interview on "Capital XTRA" with co-star Cameron Diaz to promote his new movie "Back In Action," Foxx shared a humorous parenting story about his daughter Corinne's past boyfriend.

Foxx revealed that while he tries to keep it cool, he's very protective of his daughters, especially when it comes to dating.

"I'm a little ... I could be laid back. But I could also be very — when it comes to my daughters and the opposite sex — I could be a little more, you know, in your face," he admitted, according to Daily Mail.

Foxx then recalled the time when Snoop Dogg was visiting his house and hired the rapper to intimidate his daughter's then-boyfriend.

"My oldest daughter, who's married now, but when she was dating another guy, he came over. I already did a background check on the guy, but Snoop happened to be there in my crib," Foxx said.

He added, "I was like, 'Snoop, there he is, there he is. Shake him!' And Snoop comes up with, 'Hey, what's up with that, if it hurts, it hurts you, baby?

Foxx expressed a balance between protection and letting his children live their own lives.

He explained, "I try to be visual in that perspective, but I also understand that they have to be kids. You have to let them, you know, live their lives. And, you know, things like that."

Foxx's daughter, Corinne, married Joe Hooten in September 2024 at his home in Thousand Oaks, California, and despite suffering a stroke the previous year, the "Django Unchained" star proudly walked her daughter down the aisle.

When asked about her own parenting style, Diaz, who has young children, said, "I mean, I have young children, so it's a whole different thing. I talk to my kids like, 'You know, that's not available. I know that you really, really want him, I get it.

"But my husband always says it's, like, 'you go from zero to 100 and stuff'. So, you know. I definitely have to work on it," she added.

On Friday's upcoming episode of "The Graham Norton Show," Foxx talks about the terrifying experience that left him in a coma following surgery in April 2023.

Reflecting on the ordeal, he said he had no recollection of the events leading up to his hospitalization and only realized the seriousness of it when he woke up 20 days later.

"I was really bad, but now I'm back, I feel good. It makes you realize that you need people who love you and love you to get through it," he said.

The actor continued: "I didn't remember anything happening, so when I woke up 20 days later I thought I was being pranked. It was beyond crazy."

Foxx previously spoke about his health scare during his stand-up show, "What Had Happened Was...".

He revealed that he began experiencing severe headaches while filming "Back In Action" in Atlanta and was initially treated with cortisone shots.

However, his sister, Deidra Dixon, sensed something was wrong and knew the situation was more serious than meets the eye.

Foxx said Dixon rushed him to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, where he underwent a critical life-saving procedure.

At the time, the family chose to keep the details of his health scare under wraps, and Foxx only revealed the full story a month ago.

The "Day Shift" actor recalled how he woke up from a coma on May 4 and was shocked to find he couldn't walk. "When I woke up, I was in a wheelchair. I couldn't walk," he said.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Foxx was reluctant to accept that he had suffered a stroke.

His therapist advised him, "You have to kill the old Jamie so the new Jamie can thrive."

Reflecting on the experience, Foxx said, "God blessed me with money and fame, but when I forgot about God, He blessed me with a stroke."

As he returned to public life, Foxx knew that humor would be the key to his recovery.

"I knew I had to come back and I figured the way to do that was to be funny," Foxx told Norton in a preview of the episode. "I told so many jokes that people thought I was mad, and then I would act like someone else - I was Denzel Washington for three whole days."
