Jamie Foxx accepted the Dreamgirls role after two great actors joined the cast Entertainment Tue, Apr 06, 2021 The 2006 classic musical drama movie Dreamgirls is such a great flick that every cinema-lover admires it. Hollywood star Jamie Foxx made his excellence felt more than ever before with his convincing performance in the role of Curtis Taylor Jr in the movie. However, a few people know that Jamie Fox had turned down the offer to perform in the film. But, it was due to the decision of two other individuals that the Jarhead actor gave his willingness to take the offer. The musical drama films have a painful flop history. So, the musical needed to be extraordinarily special to achieve success at the box office. The Dreamgirls movie passed the test so well that it merited the nominations of a very long list of awards including the Oscars, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards.
