Jamie Foxx is worried people are getting sick of him.
The 'Dreamgirls' star fears his success as both a singer and actor means people are bored with seeing his face everywhere.
He told Britain's Independent newspaper: "I do feel I need to get out the way of people. Especially with the internet now, you're always in somebody's face so you have to go back and get out of the way a little bit.
"I was sitting in a comedy club and this one comic, Paul Mooney, made a joke about me. He said, 'I'm so sick of seeing Jamie Foxx everywhere. He's singing, he's dancing, I looked on my driving licence and his photo was on my licence.'
"When they're telling jokes about you, you start to think, 'Well, maybe I need to sit down.' "
Foxx, 39, is both an Oscar-winning actor and a grammy-nominated music artist, and plans to release his third studio album, 'Man's Intuition' next year.
He also has his own satellite radio channel, The Foxxhole, which he started last year to cover the worlds of music, film and entertainment.
Foxx can soon be seen starring in movie 'The Kingdom' as an FBI agent who organises a secret mission to Saudi Arabia to bring to justice a band of terrorists.

have his hands in too mant pies. He should really back off from singing and do more acting and stop trying to be Frank Sinatra.
You know what? I think it would be cool if he did Broadway shows and laid low for a bit. He would get his applause fix on a daily. He would also not be in the freaking news and entertainment rags everyday.

Since he condones Michael Vick's dog fighting ring and his executing of dogs performing poorly in the ring, damn right I sick of him. Makes him every bit as barbaric as Vick.
