Celebs who were abandoned by family

Jamie Foxx

At just seven months old, Jamie Foxx (born Eric Marlon Bishop) was left in the care of his birth mother’s foster parents. In 2014, the Academy Award-winning actor toldĀ The Sunday Times that he was trying to make amends with his estranged parents.”We’re trying to learn [about] each other,” Foxx said of his relationship with his mom. “The one thing I think is great is she’s in the same house, because you realize certain things that you missed when you were growing up, like, ‘Oh, I do that because of that,’ or ‘Oh, I do this because of this.'”
