Jamie Foxx brought the heat on set of the film “Miami Vice,” and not in a good way. According to Yahoo, Foxx, and “Miami Vice” director Michael Mann, had an incredible relationship leading up to the film. But when production began, it became a disaster partly because of the “Django Unchained” actor’s behavior.
According to Slate, when they began filming the movie, Foxx had a well-known reputation in the industry. The actor was coming off of the success from the Oscar-winning film “Ray,” and it seemed like all the accolades got to his head. Crew members reported that Foxx constantly showed up to set with an “entourage” and an “attitude.” A crew member even revealed that although Colin Farrell, Foxx’s co-star, struggled with personal issues, he was still better to deal with than Foxx. They shared, “Yes, Colin comes to play around, but he always showed up on time and prepared. Jamie is more of a diva in the sense that he was afraid of boats, afraid of planes — there were a lot of things where he was afraid for himself. Colin will do anything.”

Eventually, Mann’s constant changes on set led the “Collateral” actor to leave the film completely, causing production and the director to rewrite an entirely new ending. According to the Bomb Report, the movie only ended up making $164 million worldwide with a $135 million budget, which showed that all the fuss definitely wasn’t worth it.
