JAMIE FOXX - FOXX TERRIFIED BY STALKER

FOXX TERRIFIED BY STALKER

JAMIE FOXX was so shocked after a man tried to break into his Philadelphia hotel suite, he can't go to a bar without eyeing the emergency exit.
A 47 year old man was arrested in April (09) and charged with burglary, stalking, and making criminal threats, after claims he tried to get into the Ray actor's room on two occasions.
Foxx frequently dwells on the incident - and he's now constantly concerned about protecting himself when out in public.
He says, "It frightened me, especially in retrospect when you think about what could have happened. He came back again dressed as a delivery man, and when they finally caught him they found he'd been arrested 40 times for weapons, stalking, extortion, all these different things. In the end they put him in a psychiatric ward for 60 days.
"But you know, I've got to stay out there, I've got to be who I am. But when I'm out, whether it's by myself or whether I'm with someone watching me, I'm always thinking, 'Where's the way out?' If I'm at a restaurant or a club - wherever - it's 'Where's the exit?' You have to think that there could be peril because of the life you lead, and you have to think about all the things that could happen."
