Jamie Foxx says filmmaker Quentin Tarantino once shouted at him while they were shooting for the Hollywood blockbuster "Django Unchained" and that working with him was a task for the actor.
The 38-year-old actor says the director does not like actors messing up with his film's script and wants them to follow the dialogues, reported The Independent.
"He (Tarantino) was a tyrant, like: 'Do not f**k my film up.' But that's what you want. You want a director who, even if you're going off the cliff, you know that you're going off the cliff," Foxx tells Howard Stern on his radio show.
The host asked the Oscar-winning actor if he would want to work with Tarantino again, he says without a pause, "A thousand times."
Foxx played an African-American slave Django Freeman in the 2012 film, which also starred Hollywood stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L Jackson.
