    Jamie Foxx once asked Snoop Dogg to "shake up" his daughter's boyfriend

    The 57-year-old actor has recalled the time he got the 53-year-old rapper to help him out by intimidating one of his daughter Corinne's boyfriends


    He told the 'Capital XTRA Breakfast' show: "I'm a little... I could be relaxed. But I could also be very - when it comes to my daughters and the opposite sex - I could be a little more, you know, in your face.

    "My oldest daughter, who's married now, but when she was dating another guy, he comes over. I'd already done the background check on the dude, but Snoop happened to be there at my crib.

    "I was like, 'Snoop, there he is, right there. Shake him up!' And Snoop walks over with, 'Hey, what's up? What's happening with it? You know, if she hurt, you hurt, homie.' "

    However, Jamie insisted he still realised his children needed to be able to "be kids" and make their own experiences.

    He added: "So, I am visual in that perspective, but I also understand they got to be kids. You got to let them, you know, live a life. And, you know, that type of thing."

    His 'Back In Action' co-star Cameron Diaz was also asked about her own parenting techniques, and she admitted it's not quite the same as a mother of "young kids".

    She said: "I mean, I have young kids, so it's a whole different thing. I talk to my kids, like, 'You know, that's not available. I know you really, really want it. I understand. It's not available'.

    "But my husband always says he's, like, 'You go from zero to 100 and like that'. So, you know. Definitely, I got to work on that."

    And the 52-year-old actress - who has Raddix, five, and Cardinal, ten months, with husband Benji Madden - has admitted that her kids have changed her entire "understanding" of life.

    The Hollywood star told E! News: "You're a different person after you have children, after marriage, after building a life. Everything changes, your whole perspective, your whole world, your understanding of it.

    "For me, I never made a movie before with a family. So, all of the boxes change that need to be checked off. That's the most important, and then everything else has to line up to support that."
