Jamie Foxx has a new Netflix series, Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!, in which he plays a single parent who learns about fatherhood while raising his independent daughter.
The Academy Award winner and his daughter Corinne recently appeared on CBS This Morning: Saturday to talk about all the times he embarrassed her as a kid.
"He's very charismatic and he's an entertainer, and that's great when he's an actor," Corinne explained. "But when he's a dad, that's the last thing a teenage daughter wants her dad to be, which is over-the-top and drawing attention to himself."
"You are kinda more over-the-top!" Corinne continued. "We had all these hilarious stories, and we thought, 'Why not make these episodes of a TV show?'"
"Once she started the cheerleading squad, we started our cheerleading squad for her,” the actor continued. “We would show up at the games with a picture of her on our T-shirts.”
“We wanted to just show her that we love her,” he said. “And even though it was embarrassing for her at the time, it's what I call 'Good embarrassing.'"
"He thinks the world of us, and we can feel it,” she gushed. “And that's really powerful for a young girl to grow up and have such a strong father figure in her life."
