I read somewhere he stayed in character for 6 months to get this performance. He was on that Heath Ledger shit.

The moment Jamie Foxx won the role of Ray from Ray Charles. As production for 'Ray' began in July of 2002, Foxx and Charles met up for a "trial-by-jam session", so the actor could pick up on some of the musician's piano-side charm. He ended up earning Charles' blessing, and avoided meeting with him again-instead using tapes provided by Quincy Jones of a 1959 Dinah Shore show interview to study the "younger" Ray. For the role, Foxx studied braille, lost 35 pounds, and wore prosthetic eye pieces that made him unable to see for 12 hours each day. Foxx won the Oscar for Best Actor at the 2005 Academy Awards.

Jamie Foxx’s performance in Ray is the gold standard for music biopics. It honestly might’ve made sense to just wrap up the whole “biopic” genre after this performance- that’s how convincing Foxx is as Ray Charles. Foxx’s singing & piano playing takes this role to a new universe.

Jamie Foxx glued his eyes shut to play Ray Charles in Ray (2004)—blind up to 14 hours a day. Said it felt like being buried alive, even had panic attacks. Auditioned for Ray himself, got his approval… Still won the Oscar beating Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood😮‍💨🎬
