Jamie Foxx paid a visit to trendy Dublin restaurant Pichet in the city centre at the weekend.

The 54-year-old actor and singer was happy to pose for photos with staff on Friday at the much-loved French bistro located on Trinity Street.

The restaurant was thrilled to welcome the Hollywood star as he got a quick bite to eat and a drink.

Sharing the pictures on Instagram, the Pichet team wrote: “It’s not every day you get to meet Jamie Foxx! Maybe Friday 13th isn’t so bad after all. Thank you for dining with us and we hope to see you again soon!”

Jamie was also spotted leaving Brown Thomas on Grafton Street carrying shopping bags after an afternoon of retail therapy.

Jamie was reportedly in town for the weekend to host a new tv game show called Beat Shazam, in which contestants can win up to $1 million in prizes.

Unfortunately, filming had to be halted late last year due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the Fonthill studios in west Dublin.

While Jamie was only in Dublin for the weekend, he also remarked about the change in the typical Irish weather.

Along with a scenic picture of the countryside, Jamie wrote on Instagram: “It don’t rain all the time in Ireland.”
