In his speech, DiCaprio praised Foxx for being an uplifting force in the industry.
“In real life, there’s one defining characteristic of this man, the characteristic that I was able to experience firsthand on the set ofDjango Unchained,” DiCaprio said near the end of his speech. “Jamie brings out the very best in other people. He lifts up everyone around him. You can see that in any social setting he’s in. He’s a magnetic force in any room that he inhabits and there’s no one in this industry that pays positivity and encouragement forward the way Jamie Foxx does.”
Foxx recently had another costar reunion at theSAG Awardsin January, where he bumped intoJennifer Lopez.
Lopez and Foxx — who starred together on the popular ’90s sketch seriesIn Living Color, she as a “Fly Girl” dancer and he as recurring cast member — posed together for a sweet picture on the red carpet of Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium.
