Jamie Foxx clears public from elevator

Jamie Foxx banned the public from joining him in a hotel elevator so he wouldn't be hassled by fellow guests.

The Ray star was staying at the Four Season's Hotel in LA, where he used security staff to keep out fellow visitors from sharing the lift with him.

An onlooker told the New York Daily News: "He told guests of the hotel and journalists to leave the elevator. Then, at every floor where the elevator stopped, the bodyguard would stand with his arm stretched out and say, 'You can't enter' to anyone who tried to get in.

"A lot of us were like, 'Who does Jamie think he is?'"

A spokesperson for the actor denied the allegations, saying: "There were four to five people in the elevator with Foxx at the time and he was rushing to get to interviews to promote his film."
