At this rate Jamie Foxx might be given the keys to the city.
The Oscar winner has endeared himself to Melbourne so much that he can’t get enough of the city — and one spot in particular.
On Friday night Foxx was again dining at CBD hotspot Maison Batard, where he has eaten at least a dozen times since arriving in Melbourne last month to film new blockbuster movie Deadlocked.
After dinner he decided to go downstairs to Le Club for some impromptu fun.
It was the same spot where Canadian rapper Drake performed last year.
Showing he’s got the moves and the voice, Foxx took to the microphone with a drink in hand, singing in praise of Melbourne and then breaking out into Kanye West’s Gold Digger.
“She ain’t messing with no broke … can’t say that …,’’ he said.
“Get down girl, go ‘head, get down.”
About 100 people, mainly diners on the Terrace who followed him downstairs to Le Club, were applauding and cheering.
Foxx partied with family and friends until after midnight but not his partner, Australian Alyce Huckstepp, who he has a newborn with.
They celebrated Huckstepp’s 30th birthday with a surprise dinner at Batard two weeks ago.
Foxx was reportedly paid $250,000 to attend the Melbourne Cup with Don Julio tequila.
He has told restaurateur Chris Lucas that he feels like Melbourne is a second home.
Foxx has been staying at the $9000 a week Antony Catalano St Moritz penthouse in St Kilda.
He told the Herald Sun he would be here filming the movie, which also features Luke Hemsworth, until December. He rated Melbourne a 20/10.
“I’ve been here before, I came here in 2003,’’ he said.
“I went to the Formula One at that time. What’s great about Melbourne is the hospitality of the people. I haven’t had a bad day here. The food is amazing and the dance, exquisite.”
