Jamie Foxx Turns "opie" Out !

After Jamie had EVERYBODY in his vid for “Blame it,” Ron Howard is now speaking out about the experience. Like a fish out of water: Howard was enjoying the Democrat’s induction into office in January (09), when he was approached by the singer to star in the video for Blame It, alongside other actors Forrest Whittaker, Jake Gyllenhaal and Samuel L. Jackson. But Howard was wary of accepting the offer - because he was worried he wouldn’t be able to play the role of a party animal.

He tells EW.com, “We were at the inauguration and there was this tent full of showbiz people and their families. Jamie came over and said, ‘Hey, I’m shooting a video in Los Angeles, will you come by?’ I was picturing a sort of ‘We Are The World’ thing. “So I showed up, and Jamie said, ‘It’s this party scene, and you’re going to drive up with Jake Gyllenhaal and Forest Whitaker and me.
