Jamie Foxx digs deep to embody the true-life character of Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, a gifted musician who was sidelined by schizophrenia in 'The Soloist,' and he tells ET's Thea Andrews that the role was "therapeutic, but very scary." "I had a childhood fear of losing my mind," says Jamie, who reveals that, "something bad happened to me in college. Somebody slipped something on me, and I flipped out." Jamie says that for eleven months he thought he was "going to be crazy," and would play his music on the piano to soothe his mind. "That's what kept me who I am, so I really am [Ayers] in a sense. I really did go off to college, and something bad happened to me that messed with my mind, so all these different parallels made me understand what my character was really about."  |
