He recalls Sheeran taking out his Ukelele and getting a standing ovation. From there, Foxx knew that Sheeran is going to be huge.
Aside from this, Foxx also invited Sheeran on his radio show Foxxhole back in 2010. Looks like the singer actor likes helping new talents start their career. "That's what we all do as artists, you know. He needed a place to stay, and work on his craft and be left alone," he added.
