'Django Unchained' actor Jamie Foxx has praised R&B star Chris Brown for spending time with his younger sister, who has a crush on him and has Down syndrome.
Brown, 25, has been in news earlier for his legal run-ins but Foxx, 46, felt the singer is not a reflection of his past mistakes, reported Contactmusic.
Foxx said that he would never forget the generosity Brown showed when the actor asked for a personal favour.
"My sister has been able to be in my world and meet all these people, but I want to give a special shout out to somebody - there's a young man by the name of Chris Brown who always gets a lot of crazy things said (about him) he does a few things here and there that we might take out of context.
"But when I called Chris Brown about my sister, because she has this huge crush on him, he dropped everything. No cameras around. He comes to dance with her (and) hangs out with her," he said.
