I just fell in love with Jamie Foxx

More people should be outraged by Roman Polanski, rather than stand behind him! (I'm talking to you Penelope Cruz and Adrien Brody!)

Detained Academy Award-winning director and convicted sex offender Roman Polanski may have the support of some famous faces in the film industry, but don't count Jamie Foxx among them. According to the actor, he only needs to imagine the 1977 case against Polanski is a personal one to find his feelings.

If it had been my daughter who was barely a teenager ' my daughter is 15 ' Roman Polanski would be missing … period,' Foxx stated in an interview with Parade magazine. It wouldn't even get to the court case. But, that's me and I wouldn't want anyone else to follow that because you should let the justice system work it out.'

Foxx went on to explain that while his perspective might have been different had he known the director personally, as do many of his Hollywood peers, ultimately he believes this whole issue is bigger than Roman Polanski.' So big, it forces Foxx to confront his own complex sense of revenge.

Revenge is a tough thing,' The Soloist' star said. When it comes to someone bringing harm to your family, it's hard to think about turning the other cheek. When I hear about things that we allow to go on in our society where women are harmed, I just knee-jerk. I've said some things publicly that my publicist keeps telling me I should keep to myself. I don't know if that's my Texas upbringing, but there comes a point where you just say, 'OK, that would be my tipping point. What would I do?' Some of things I've said I'd do to sexual perpetrators were pretty graphic. But I also read some stories of people taking the law into their own hands, which is bad too. So it's tough to know how far you'd go.'
