Jaime Foxx recently revealed that he got so into playing a homeless schizophrenic cello player named Nathaniel Ayers in his upcoming film The Soloist. According to Foxx, “My teeth are just so big and white – a homeless person would never have them. I wanted to break up my big shining piano keys to give them a little character. I spent hours getting the nuances of the person, making him real. I pushed things a bit…put a gap in my teeth. Some might think I f***** up my grill for nothing but I just wanted to come up with something to make the part unique. I had one chipped out with a chisel…We’re all a little crazy in Hollywood but going to the edge was really scary, the character hears voices in his head, and I had to submerse myself into that state. There were some scary moments.”
